About tour

Hiking with huskies in Iceland means joining a routine the dogs already have. These furry companions at the family-run farm outside Reykjavík race competitively and stay fit year-round on foot. No sled, no cart, just a trail and a team of dogs on home ground.

They lead and you follow, which is more like being taken somewhere than going for a walk. There's no minimum age and no fitness requirement, and the farm is 20 minutes from downtown Reykjavík, so it fits into a day rather than taking up the whole one.

Itinerary

Your visit starts at the farm in Mosfellsbær, which you drive to yourself. The dogs come first, so you have time to spend with them, get to know a few, and hear how they're raised and trained throughout the year.

A short safety briefing follows. Your guide covers how the hike works, what the ground underfoot is like, and how to be around the huskies while they're working. It's practical rather than a formality, so if anyone in your group is uneasy around large dogs, this is the point to say so.

From there, you're out on the trail for 45 to 60 minutes. The exact route depends on the day's conditions and the guide's call. Someone stays with the group throughout to keep everyone together and talk you through the surroundings. You’ll finish back at the farm, where the heated hut is the easiest place to warm up with snacks before the drive back.

PLEASE NOTE

Bookings require a minimum of 2 participants.
Transportation to and from the farm is not included, so you'll need your own transport to get there and back.
The huskies are friendly and used to visitors, but they're large, powerful animals, and you'll be in close contact with them the whole time, so mention any dog allergy when you book.
Your guide sets the pace to suit the group, so younger children and slower walkers won't be left trying to keep up.
Weather in Iceland changes quickly, and this tour is outdoors from start to finish, so dress for the day’s conditions rather than the season.

MEET ON LOCATION

You'll make your own way to the farm in Mosfellsbær, a 20-minute drive from downtown Reykjavík. The road there is maintained in all weather. Parking is on-site, with space for RVs as well as cars, so there's no walk from a separate lot with children or gear in tow.
