Description

Meet the Siberian Huskies that pull sleds through the Icelandic snow on this visit to a dog sled kennel in North Iceland, between Akureyri Town and Lake Myvatn. The tour suits animal lovers who want to meet and play with friendly dogs.

You start the tour at the kennel at Vallholt Farm, where an experienced musher and at least 20 sled dogs are waiting to greet you. Toilets are available, and you can borrow extra clothing and gear if you need it.

The dogs are friendly, used to visitors, and love attention. Your musher tells you about each dog, including its personality and family ties, and you have plenty of time to cuddle the huskies and take photos with them.

Siberian Huskies have a gentle nature and are good with children. They are known for their thick fur coats, pricked ears, and intelligent faces.

While you spend time with the dogs, your musher explains the basics of dog sledding and how the dogs are trained, worked with, and cared for, so that they are happy to do their jobs.

Sled dogs have been bred over thousands of years to excel at their work and enjoy it. Huskies have strength, energy, resilience, resistance to the cold, and a strong pack mentality, which make them suited to the job.

Because of these traits, the dogs enjoy being outside and roam the farm freely when the weather allows. They can handle almost any conditions but are brought into the kennels for their comfort during storms.

We had the most amazing time, we will never forget. Beautiful surrounding, so many loving huskies and such a great guide (Símar)! She told us all about the huskies and gave us a lot of time to cuddle with them. Would recommend this tour to everyone, who loves dogs.

We had an absolutely wonderful time meeting and playing with the huskies at Snow Dogs. We had to call about a time change and the dog trainer was understanding and flexible. In all we were able to spend about and hour and a half learning about the dogs and the Snow Dogs kennel. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. I would recommend this tour to any dog lover or any one else for that matter. 10/10 would highly recommend.

We had a truly wonderful time - this was a great experience and i'd recommend it to anyone! My 11 and 9 year old children were thrilled to meet the dogs. We got to play with, stroke and generally love these gorgeous animals. We learned about huskies and sledding, got to help groom a dog, and then had a lovely time playing with the puppies. The host was welcoming, kind and generous with her time. Thank you so much snow dogs!!

This place was amazing. The owner was warmth to us and very kind to her dogs. It was an amazing experience to learn about the dogs, alot of time with them and touch them while understanding their personalities. I highly recommend this if you are a dog lover as you will constantly be surrounded by the huskies :) As for location, good to use google gps to search for exact location as compared to the car's gps.

Great! A kind of dog therapy. For the kids, it was one of the strongest impressions of the trip. Here’s how it works: they dress you in coveralls (I smiled at first, then realized it was the right thing to do—the dogs shed), and take you into an enclosure with 10–12 adult dogs. We pet them and play. Then the lady shows us what she feeds the dogs (dry food, by the way!), and what she rides them in during winter and summer. Then she takes us to an enclosure with the puppies and their parents. The dogs are absolutely peaceful and playful (a puppy costs around 1500 euros). We take photos. We leave, change clothes, and receive a little scarf as a gift with pictures of the dogs we visited. The whole thing takes 50 minutes. We liked it.

Discovering this sled dog kennel was such a lovely moment during our trip. The owner, who is very kind and caring toward her animals, patiently answered all our questions and told us how she looks after them every day. We even got to see a very young litter of puppies. The dogs are absolutely adorable—we loved it!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful experience
