About Overnight Aurora Camp and Dog Sledding in Kvaløya from Tromsø.
Everyone at the center was wonderful. The owner is a woman who competes in dog sled races, and we got to learn a bit about her story. All the guides were friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. They come from all over to work here, and I can see why!

Excellent and smooth operation from pick-up/drop-off to the huskies ride to interaction time with the huskies and lunch! Our guide, Lea, was very friendly and does her job with such passion. We felt that the huskies are very well-taken n trained at the centre. Customer-oriented provider with friendly and professional guides! They make our whole experience so enjoyable and memorable.
