Dogsled tour | Ilulissat | Disko bay

Experience the ancient Inuit tradition of dog sledding journey to the backcountry near Ilulissat. This tour is a combination of your favourite Meet the dogs and 1 hour dogsledding tour!

Sled dogs have been used for thousands of years by Greenlanders as the primary mode of transportation during Winter. Many hunters still utilize these tough working dogs as they are able to reach places that a snowmobile cannot, and to nurture the special bond that has been formed over centuries of working together.

Your experience begins with a transfer out to an area of “dog town”, where you will be greeted by a symphony of howling dogs and your musher (dogsled driver). Your guide (or musher) will give you a safety briefing and show you how to sit on the sledge correctly before you head off on your dogsled adventure. You will help the musher by putting the harness on the dogs! So you will emerge right into local life!

After we prepare dogs we will sit on the sledge and embark on 1 hour dogsleding tour.

During the tour, the icebergs and spectacular landscape around Ilulissat will provide you with endless photo opportunities, and there will be plenty of time to stop and stretch your legs with a hot drink. The snow conditions and the sledge tracks will determine the exact route for the tour, but no matter where you go, the experience of sledding behind a pack of dogs will be an unforgettable experience.  

After dogsledig we will come back to the dog spot and you will have time to cudle and pet our dogs!
