Your tour begins when your driver picks you up from an agreed pickup point in Akureyri and transports you to the meeting point at Glaesibaer, where the huskies live.

The tour is private, so your guide can tailor it to your group's needs. The weather in Iceland can be changeable, so you should dress in warm layers and bring waterproof clothing. Good hiking shoes are also essential.

Before you set off, your guide will take you through the process of dog sledding and give you a short safety briefing.

Dog sledding in Iceland offers a unique way to experience the country's winter landscapes. Tours typically occur in the north, where snow conditions are more reliable.

Siberian and Alaskan huskies lead the sleds, guided by experienced mushers who ensure the dogs' well-being. The tour operator prioritizes the dogs' health, providing proper care and rest.

Dog sledding gives visitors an exciting, hands-on experience while learning about the dogs' training and daily routines.

You'll enjoy the beautiful woodland and scenic surroundings as the dogs pull you through the countryside outside of Akureyri.

During the tour, your musher will tell you how dog sledding works, what their experience is, and more about the dogs' personalities and the breed's traits. You can ask any questions you have, too.

After sledding, you can return to the huskies' home to warm up. You can choose tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. There will be plenty of time to pet and cuddle the dogs as you enjoy your drink.

Huskies are an affectionate and friendly breed that enjoys human interaction, so you can give them belly rubs, too. Each dog has a distinctive personality, so you can get to know them all and have plenty of time to take pictures with them.

At the end of the tour, you will be taken back to Akureyri to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
