The Eyjafjörður fjord is the longest fjord in north-central Iceland. It is bordered by high mountains, some of which reach heights of over 1,000 metres. On the shore of the Eyjafjörður fjord, you'll find Iceland's 2nd largest city: Akureyri. It's in this town with its subarctic climate that Gunnar and María's huskies are waiting for you for your dog-sledding excursion in the Eyjafjörður fjord.

For this activity, your instructor will welcome you to his kennel, where you will meet the huskies. He will then take you along the region's trails, offering magnificent views of the Eyjafjörður fjord. Dog sledding in Akureyri is a great way to experience the natural landscape of the fjord in an authentic way.

While you admire the beauty of the landscape and the strength of the huskies pulling you through the wilderness, your musher will tell you all you need to know about dog sledding, how it works, his experience as a musher, the dogs' personalities, all the while answering your questions about huskies and Iceland!

After the dog sledding excursion, you will be welcomed into your guide's home, where the huskies live. These friendly dogs love to meet new people and, of course, expect belly rubs and attention. You can then enjoy a relaxing moment with them and savour a hot drink to round off this magical winter experience.
