Your dog sledding adventure near Reykjavik is led by an experienced musher who shares both knowledge and passion for the sport. They will ensure you feel safe and engaged throughout the ride.
Getting to the starting point is simple, too. If you prefer flexibility, you can drive yourself because Mosfellsbaer is only 35 minutes from Reykjavik and easily reached by car. For those who would rather skip driving, optional round-trip transportation from Reykjavik is available.
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by your professional musher and, of course, the star of the show: the huskies. These dogs live for running and will let you know just how excited they are to hit the trail.
Before the ride, your musher will introduce you to your team and explain the basics of dog sledding. Then, as the dogs are harnessed, you’ll feel the energy build until it’s time to set off.
This Iceland dog sledding tour lasts 60 to 90 minutes in total, including about 35 to 45 minutes of ride time. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy the dogs in action and also to spend time with them before and after the run.
Each sled is powered by at least five strong, eager huskies, and the excitement is contagious the moment they’re harnessed and ready to go. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to team up with real sled dogs, this experience brings that dream to life.
On this dog sledding tour, you’ll travel along a scenic mountain road that winds through peaceful nature. Halfway through, you’ll stop for a short break, giving you the chance to cuddle with the dogs, take photos, and enjoy the moment.
Your musher will share stories along the way. You’ll come away not only with great memories but also with a deeper appreciation of this Arctic tradition.
This dog sledding tour in Iceland runs year-round, giving you flexible options no matter the season of your trip. In winter, you’ll ride on snow with a sled, but if conditions are dry like during summer, the experience continues on specially designed carts for dry land.
Both options are equally exhilarating, and everyone even gets the chance to try riding at the back with the musher for a hands-on taste of dog sledding.
As your tour wraps up, say goodbye to your team of huskies and get ready for the drive back to Reykjavik.
With breathtaking scenery, expert guides, and plenty of time to connect with the dogs, this dog sledding tour in Iceland is one of the most joyful and adventurous activities you can do near Reykjavik. Check availability now by choosing a date.
