Our first ever dog sledding experience on dry land in Icelandic summer and it absolutely did not disappoint 🐾 If you’re a dog lover, this is pure happiness on wheels. The huskies were unbelievably fluffy, sweet, and clearly thrilled to be running. The guides were warm, fun, and generous with stories about the dogs, the landscape, and life in Iceland. The ride itself felt like a little adventure through endless purple lupine fields, alongside a glistening river, with views of Eyjafjallajökull and Katla the distance. Pro tip: bring sunglasses or ski goggles to protect your eyes—dust, sand, and gravel kick up as the dogs sprint ahead! Best of all, we got plenty of time to cuddle, pet, and play with the dogs before and after the ride. An unforgettable, wag-filled Icelandic memory❤️.

This was the highlight of our visit to iceland. The dogs are extreamly well looked after and loved. You can see they enjoy what they do. Beware it's the coldest you will ever feel so wrap up extreamly worm and wear the googles and suits offered.

A fantastic trip very highly recommended, the dogs are so friendly, we visited during summer so on a wheeled sled. So fast, unbelievable to see them drink as they raced through puddles. You can see that Klara loves all her dogs. You also get to see some brilliant countryside. And yes, you really cannot resist giving all the dogs a cuddle and you get loads of time for photos. If in Iceland I would add it to the “must see” list

amazing service, the dogs are so cute! Honestly amazing if you’re coming to Iceland for the first time, you just can’t miss this! There is both in summer and winter, only on weekdays and you just send and email to book a tour, definitely 5 stars.
