Above our center, located 30 minutes away from Tromsø and the city lights, the night sky is dark and well suited for northern lights watching. While you wait for the lights to appear, your guide will give you some insight into the natural phenomenon Aurora Borealis. You can also cuddle with our 300 huskies and their puppies and learn about the dog sled racing, breeding and animal welfare on a guided tour of our kennel. Our thermal suits and boots will keep you warm in the arctic winter night!
In our cozy Gamme-hut dinner will be served around an open fire. Try Bacalao, a traditional Norwegian fish dish with Portuguese roots made from regional produce (vegetarian option is available upon preliminary request) and a piece of our signature chocolate cake. While you eat, your guide will keep a close eye on the sky and inform you about any Aurora activity!
After dinner there is time to watch the northern lights, take pictures and say goodbye to the dogs, before we head back to Tromsø.

Best part of my trip in Tromsø - I was so excited for this excursion and it didn't disappoint. The bus driver (I think his name is Greg) was so entertaining on the drive up and was telling us interesting facts about tromsø. We arrived and the crew were very attentive giving clear rules on what not to do. I had Alejandro and he was super fun and was able to answer all of my questions. You get given overall and boots upon arrival and even though the weather wasn't great and we didn't get to see the northern lights we had lots of time to see the dogs and learn about their way of life! Tiger and Jan were adorable I got so many pictures. We then got given a hearty fish soup around the fire which was delicious and a big slab of chocolate cake!! Best part of my time in Tromsø and I would 100% recommend you go along and experience it for yourself.

Wonderful 😊 - Wonderful experience. Dogs are very friendly also with child. Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions we never saw northern lights but the location was very beautiful and all the staff professional, kind and pleaseful.
I love fish soup but also cous cous taste good.

A+ Husky Camp - Everything about this experience was so worth it.
The dogs are wonderful and Raph just wanted all the pets.
Dinner was delicious and I didn't realize we were getting chocolate cake and s'mores afterward.
The light show from Mother Nature was beyond compare. The primary goal of our trip to Norway was to see the lights and they did not disappoint.
The hosts ask know their stuff and spent time with everyone after dinner just chatting and having fun with us until it was time to go.

BEST Tour💚🐶 - An experience we will never forget!:-)
After a pleasant and short drive we were warmly welcomed & enlightened at Husky Camp. We had time to meet the Huskies, including the puppies. And then, suddenly, the light goes out! And then they danced in the sky, the Northern Lights💚 After marveling at the Northern Lights we could warm up & there was a good dinner. Anything more than enough. And whenever the lights reappeared, we were informed. THANK YOU for this wonderful experience. We felt very comfortable.

Highly recommended - I can only recommend the Husky Camp. We had a wonderful time there with the huskys and also saw a lot of auroras.
In addition, the staff there are very friendly and accommodating.
On site there is a snowsuit and rubber boots if necessary.

Well worth the visit - Absolutely amazing trip. The ladies running this trip were very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great visit. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights despite the cloudy weather. The weather was very rainy however we were offered suits and boots to make us warmer and comfortable. The husky’s were very well looked after and were a joy to visit.

Interesting experience. - An interesting experience, essentially you can walk around and play with some of the dogs which are all chained up. All of the dogs are very friendly. Some of the younger dogs are in larger shared cages. They provided suits and boots which was good because it was very wet and muddy. Dinner is provided, along with a fire with possible hopes of seeing the northern lights (which we didn’t see). Probably wouldn’t go again but nice to see once!

Dinner & Huskys - Overall I’d say this was a good experience, we did this in the middle of a snow storm so it was a bit difficult to engage with the dogs due to the weather. The staff were very welcoming & the dinner was lovely! the area which you have dinner is very special and sitting around a fire with marshmallows and hot chocolate is a lovely experience.
But I do think there’s a few places which could use a bit of improvement; I would have loved to learn a bit more on the dogs as a whole. How is the sledging done, how do they pick the dogs to work together, maybe even some pictures to show the sledge and all the equipment - I feel like some of the staff were a little new and couldn’t answer my questions. I understand as the snow wasn’t set we couldn’t sledge but essentially we just petted some (not many) dogs and gave them some treats and then went and had dinner. A lot of the dogs weren’t interested and wouldn’t leave there pens (which is fine) but essentially if the dogs are engaged for maybe 20 minutes of the whole experience and then the rest of the hour and a half your kind of just left to your own devices.
All in all a good experience, however i left feeling like I hadn’t really learnt an awful lot so definitely room for a little improvement

Overpriced and underwhelming - It was extremely overpriced, I would recommend to go when dog sledding is available. The activity was going outside to pet some dogs that were tied up and mostly sleeping. Dinner was basic and small portion so no value for money there either. Very basic activity, you could find better things to do in tromso
