Itinerary

Your musher, the guide who leads your dog team, welcomes you to Vallholt Kennel, just 5 km (3.1 mi) from the Ring Road between Lake Mývatn and Akureyri. Walk through the kennel, meet the dogs, and discover their different personalities while your musher explains how they’re related.

After a quick safety briefing, the huskies are ready to go, often barking with excitement. As they pick up speed, the cart’s hydraulic brakes and solid suspension help keep the journey smooth. You’ll stop a few times along the trail to take photos.

Return to the kennel for a few final pictures with the dogs before saying goodbye. The full visit takes about 1.5 hours, including 30 to 40 minutes on the cart.
