What to do in Kirkenes

Our female musher is very considerate and has excellent dogsledding skills. She told us when there's a sharp turn on the right side, a steep down hill road and etc. So we were able to prepare for them, and keep ourselves sitting on the sledge when they happened. I asked her a lot of questions such as the training of Husky for dogsledding, Norwegian culture. She was very patient to answer all the questions asked. So I have some knowledge about Norwegian culture, Husky dogsledding, and husky characteristics. The weather was very good for a scenic dog sledge trip in a beautiful landscape. I enjoyed the ride and nature. It's my first time to drink warm juice during the break. It's yummy. Now I know it's a Norwegian outdoor drink. I really appreciate that the female musher have done for me during the entire dogsledding ride. I have a wonderful time, and experience. I forgot her name though.

The dog sled experience was a lot of fun. We did the night time version and were out for 2 hours, stopped in the middle for a fire pit and warm juice. Dogs were excited and eager to run and the guide was knowledgeable with great stories to tell.

This activity was great. Everyone at SnowHotel is super friendly and everything is very well organized

We were originally booked for the Northern Lights Safari, but changed to the afternoon trip. As our trip was in January, it was still dark, but too cloudy for any lights. We still had a lot of fun!

The activity was underwhelming for the cost. Sled ride out to spot. We did not interact with the process other than taking pictures. The meal was excellent of course. But roughly $900 USD for a meal for 3 is very expensive. We expected the process to be more than a few minutes and back to dinner. Event was not as advertised.
