Two guests and the musher will share a cart pulled by 9 to 14 Siberian Husky dogs. You’ll travel on a 2.5 km trail, exploring the amazing scenery of North Iceland. The approximately 15-20 minute ride is slightly bumpy but will provide an unforgettable journey surrounded by the region’s natural beauty.

Dog sledding is a great physical and mental exercise for the Huskies. It encourages them to work as part of a team, allows them to stretch their legs and gives them that feeling of freedom. It also increases their energy level and stamina, helping them become fitter. In fact, the repetitive act of running can improve their body awareness and help decrease their stress levels. 

For us humans, dog cart rides on dry land are incredibly fun and the perfect activity for the entire family. The sound of trotting paws, the fresh air, and the stunning views make it an unforgettable addition to your holiday in North Iceland.
