Private Husky Petting Experience in Akureyri with Photos & Refreshments

Enjoy the most heartwarming experience with a lovable pack of huskies on this private one-hour husky petting tour near Akureyri in North Iceland. Perfect for families, friends, and dog lovers, this experience offers a rare opportunity to meet friendly huskies in their home environment, play with them, and hear their unique stories from their caring owners.

Your adventure begins when you arrive at the cozy family-run kennel just outside Akureyri. The husky home nestles along the scenic Eyjafjordur fjord and is a 15-minute drive from the center of Akureyri.

For more convenience, you can also add a pick-up service from Akureyri for an extra cost. Pick-up locations include Akureyri Harbor, Hof Cultural and Conference Center, and central accommodations in town.

At the kennel, you’ll be welcomed by the owners, a kind couple who live with their 21 huskies, including Aska, the matriarch and the family’s very first dog. The couple will introduce you to their four-legged family members, share stories of their lives, and explain how these beautiful dogs became part of their home.

Huskies are a remarkable breed with a rich history. Their thick double coats, strong legs, and bushy tails help them withstand extreme cold, making them ideal for life in the Icelandic winters.

Some of these very dogs participate in dog-sledding tours during the winter months, showcasing their natural strength and agility while enjoying running across snowy landscapes with joy and speed.

One of the best parts of this tour is that you’ll meet huskies raised as family members, not just working dogs. They live inside the family home, which creates an incredibly personal and cozy atmosphere during your visit. 

You'll have the chance to pet, hug, and play with the dogs both indoors and outdoors, capturing as many photos and videos as you like.

Whether you are a seasoned dog lover or new to the breed, the playful nature of the huskies will immediately win you over. 

Throughout your visit, the owners will share insights into husky behavior, their care routines, and their love for these amazing animals. Children especially enjoy this tour, as the huskies are gentle, patient, and playful, making it a perfect experience for families.

To make your experience even more enjoyable, you’ll be treated to a warm cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, adding a relaxing touch to your time with the dogs. 

As a private tour, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted quality time with the husky dogs. There will be no other crowds apart from you and your family or friends. You can ask as many questions as you like, take videos, and have as much petting time as you wish.
