What a BLAST! - Gunnar and Maria are such positive people and they treat all their doggies like a family, you can sense it from the moment you enter their house - it's such a positive experience! The doggies of course are amazing, they were chilling during our visit which made the experience even more magical - we have visited another place in Iceland in 2022 where we also interacted with the doggies, also amazing experience, yet I preferred it here better, it felt more peaceful as it's mostly inside a house, as opposed to being outside where the doggies would otherwise run wild (they of course have a tone of energy since they normally do sledding and other type of runs. We booked the petting tour - which is absolutely perfect, of course you can do dogsledding in the winter or other type of sledding in summer, but if you are like us, loving fluffy huskies then petting tour is an absolute must while in Iceland - come and enjoy the company and the stories behind these amazing creates and their parents, Gunnar and Maria - higgggggghly recommended! BTW did I mention we bumped into 6 puppies during our visit? :) a cherry on the top of the husky cake haha

It filled our hearts! - The Huskies were a joy to experience, but then when we got to play with the puppies, our hearts were overflowing. The owners are very kind and knowledgeable.

A Must Do Experience in Akureyi! - This is an excellent experience. Gunnar and Maria are so welcoming. The dogs are so incredibly well cared for and live so well. It was not just a neat experience but a once in a lifetime opportunity to be welcomed into someone's home and hobby. If you love dogs, this is a must do. If you don't do petting do the hike or the sledding but don't miss the chance to meet this family!

An experience of a lifetime. You MUST book. - Unbelievable that this has only 1 review - my wife found Maria and Gunni's experience via 'Visit Akureyri' and it is one of the best experiences of my and our life. If you love animals, I challenge you to think of a better experience than this once you've done it! I don't want to ruin any surprise, just book it and have the time of your life :-D We did the petting but it was anything but. Fully immersive and lots of fun!! Thank you guys!!

21 bundles of furry fun! - Met 21 bundles of furry fun and what an experience this was! The dogs are gorgeous and inquisitive and all want to be petted. Gunnar & Maria were so informative about life with their pack and they offer some really fun experiences. The views from their house are absolutely incredible too - I can't recommend this enough.
