Your tour begins in the city center where you will meet guide and get a transfer to the dogsled tracks, just outside of town, where you will be met by a local Iluliarmiut (a person from Ilulissat) musher.

Before embarking on this exciting adventure, the musher will introduce you to his dogs. The Greenlandic sled dog is one of a kind, it is the purest dog race, due to its isolation from other dog races – which makes it quite unique. The dogs are raised as work dogs, and therefore it is not safe to approach the dogs on your own. The musher will show which dogs, that are safe to pet.

Once you have gotten comfortable on the sled, the musher will steer the dogs into the backcountry of Ilulissat. Enjoy the pure silence, only disturbed by howling dogs and soaring eagles!

    We are happy we got to try dogsledding!
    We came to Ilulissat with our small kids so it was a prefect solution for us to try dogsledding together with our little ones. The tour was short so we weren’t afraid they will get cold. Of course we dress them in many layers to make sure they are warm.
    Staff and dogs were very friendly!
