    Note that sometimes the dogs get very loud when we are about to leave for the Dog sled ride, they just want to run not wait…. 

    We strongly advise to have accommodation close to the Kennel the night before the Dog sledding experience! 

    Coming to Iceland in the winter it can come in handy to have warm clothing good shoes and goggles. 

    Driving in Iceland in Iceland winter is much safer with studded tires and 4×4 cars.
