Tromsø Villmarksenter

Very professional and well organised. Very friendly and obviously love their job as do the dogs!

Very organised, professionally run. 200 Husky's. All friendly we loved having time with the dogs after the sledge ride ( which was brilliant)

From beginning to finish I enjoyed a lot. First they took me around my hotel and my journey started. When i was there my guide was already waiting for me. First of all they took me my private camp room and after that we did a little tour in that area. I learned a lot of things about puppies. Lot of friendly and welcoming dogs. I did not want to leave from there. After that me, my guide and one dog we started snowshoeing around the place. I am a muslim guy and it was my last day of Ramadan and i opened my fast over there with my guide and the dog which is she was became my best friend :) After that we walked back all the way down to camp area. I had my Bacalao soup (first time in my life) and they served me a yummy chocolate cake. After that i went to my room around 23:00pm. Overnight I could not sleep and i walked outside. It was my lucky day cause I get chance to see Northern Lights around 1:10am in the morning. I did not want to leave that area. It was a dream night. After that night next morning I had my breakfast around 9:30 am in the morning. Around 10:30 they gave us information about the dog sledding. We had 45 minutes dog sledding around the area. This was my another best time in there. After that they gave us information about the dogs and we had chance to cuddle them, play with them quite a 1 hour. After that we had our lunch. Reindeer soup and cake. So i definitely recommend everyone to do this activity. From beginning to end it was absolutely breathtaking. All of the staff was kind and friendly. I just want to say a big thanks for all of their hard work. And a lot of thanks to my Italian guide. You guys doing amazing job. Looking forward to seeing you again.

we stayed overnight in the camp, everything was very clean and hygienic food good good & tastey and more than enough

Excellent

The instructor was very enthusiastic and explained all about the dogs and their routines and the site in general

Les personnes du chenil nous ont très bien accueilli et nous ont partagés leur passion. Les explications étaient très intéressantes. Très humains nous étions un petit groupe de 20 personnes, top pour discuter avec le personnel du chenil.

Excellent !

Booking the activity took forever with manawa bc trying to get a confirmation took days. For what we paid to clamp, we should have been allowed into the hut earlier. There were several trees blocking our window view and it wasn’t worth the big price we paid. The evening fish soup was terrible.

See above

Les organisateurs étaient très gentils, ils nous ont bien expliqués la vie des chiens, les légendes des aurores boréales et venaient toujours nous parler pour savoir si tout allait bien. De plus, nous avions eu un guide en Français 🤩

Très bonne organisation

The centre is a twenty-five minute bus ride from Trsø. It is well organised and provides boots and warm overalls for those who would like to use them. Our sled was driven by a friendly young lady, who introduced us to each of the huskies pulling us by name and told us something about each animal. She obviously was very involved in their everyday care and loved the dogs very much. She was very willing to take photos if us in the sled and with the huskies.

Instructors were very friendly and clearly good at their job. They were really good at making sure that we were dressed appropriately with boots, suit and goggles. It was so nice that they looked after you even after the driving had finished, making sure that we had enough to eat and drink. I really enjoyed the meet the dogs experience afterwards. Our guide Leo was so knowledgeable about the breed and answered our million questions really well.

They were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs. The fact that they can remember the names of 300 dogs is a testament to their dedication!

Bien organisé. A l'heure. Programme bien calé. Intervenants pédagogues et pro.

nice welcome, explanations and services (gear and lunch)

La présence des chiens est quelque chose en plus et c'est une excellente idée.

des interlocuteurs à la hauteur

..

Helpful, friendly, interesting and very well organised

Bonne organisation, un peu à la chaine car les balades se suivent l'une après l'autre et la durée est très courte. Peu de flexibilité sur la possibilité de changer d'option (notamment sur le self-drive), alors qu'il y a 3 rounds de sorties de chiens, où on aurait pu nous préparer une option self-drive.

L’équipe est géniale, avec les chiens comme avec les clients :-)

Louis est au top, évidemment, il est français !!

Du début à la fin le top de l organisation

Organisation au top, clair et facile.

Agate était une guide géniale ! À l’écoute et faisant très attention à tous les membres du groupe

Well organized

There are several dog-sledding experiences, but this one is clearly the best. The dogs are clearly loved, well-trained, and well-cared for by staff who stay on the premises. You'll learn so much about what makes a good team as the owner of the facility is also a competitive racer who has dedicated herself to the sport. The activity was also immaculately organized. We never wondered where we were going or doing for a moment. Truly, the highlight of our trip.

Very knowledgeable, nice people who know a lot about Alaskan Husky.

organisation impeccable

nice to see that everyone who worked there had so much love for the dogs. Everything is thought about to take the best possible care of the dogs. And then to see them run with such joy and passion is just amazing.

Cool first experience; nice ride in amazing landscape. Cool team who knows a lot about dogs, loves their husky’s and share their passion.

Had a great time, everything was provided for, lots of respect for the team and all who participate in taking care of the dogs.

Tromso Wilderness Center

Very professional and so knowledgeable

Anna was great, passionate and adaptive to everyone's physical condition. We stopped for photos when the group decided, and she explained us many things about taking care of the huskies. 3 teenage huskies went with us during the activity, which was also great, and maybe different from other kind of snowshoeing stroll.

Our instructor was really nice and careful to make sure everyone did well during the sled ride.

Super nice, explained everything. So caring.

He was a kiwi, whats not to like about him. Chris was great.

Der Musher war eine Profifahrerin, die uns viele Informationen geben und von ihrer Erfahrung erzählen konnte.

Les organisateurs sont accueillants et humains.

Great trip on a very scenic route; the tour guides were knowledge and approachable. The dogs were friendly and playful and the fish soup afterwards was fantastic.

He teached us to enjoy at 100% this experiencie

All the crew were very helpful and friendly - on the bus,giving out the clothing and serving coffee and stew in the hut. Our musher was great and told us about his team of dogs which was very interesting.

These guys really know their trade. With both the handling of the dog teams and their knowledge of the mountains. There appeared a very good awareness of the physical and mental limits of us novice handlers which was very much appreciated.
