Step into the warm and welcoming home of a husky-loving family for a one-hour husky petting and photo experience in Akureyri. This small-group tour in North Iceland is perfect for animal lovers seeking a unique opportunity to meet, cuddle, and photograph Iceland’s most lovable sled dogs.
Your Icelandic tour begins when you arrive at the family-run kennel just outside Akureyri. This scenic location is located along the Eyjafjordur fjord and is only a 15-minute drive north of Akureyri’s town center.
For a hassle-free start to your journey, you may instead add the optional pick-up service to your booking at a low cost. The pick-up locations include the Akureyri Harbor for cruise passengers, Hof Cultural and Conference Center, and other central locations in town.
You’ll be greeted by the kennel owners, a friendly couple who share their home with 21 beautiful dogs. The dogs are raised as part of the household, creating a personal and cozy atmosphere.
Unlike traditional husky encounters focusing on sledding, this tour is about bonding with the dogs. You’ll be introduced to the pack members, each with their own unique personality.
For example, there’s Aska, the matriarch and first husky of the family. Dimma is the eternal puppy full of boundless energy, while Klaki is the gentle and reserved companion for those who love a calmer interaction.
As you settle in, be prepared for a wave of husky affection. These dogs love meeting new people and aren’t shy about giving out wet-nosed kisses and asking for belly rubs.
Photos and videos are a big part of this experience. The huskies are natural models with striking blue or brown eyes, thick fur coats, and playful expressions. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to capture stunning close-ups, action shots, and even adorable selfies with your new furry friends.
Throughout the experience, your hosts will share stories about the dogs, their history, and how each member of the pack found their way into the family. You’ll learn about husky behavior and their role in Icelandic sledding adventures during winter.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask the dog owners. They are more than happy to entertain your curiosity.
With its intimate small-group setting, unlimited photo opportunities, and authentic husky interaction, this tour is perfect for dog lovers looking for a personal and joyful experience in North Iceland.
