This was possibly the best holiday we’ve ever been on. Before I left I had two concerns: (1) The dogs would be unfriendly/worked too hard (2) The accommodation might be poor value for money Those were, emphatically, disproved. The dogs were AMAZING. Super friendly, and they loved to run. The best part is on the expedition you get to know your dogs. You look after them (nothing too strenuous), and even from the back of the sled you get to know their personalities - which are very distinct! I almost had to be dragged out of the lodge at the end I was so sad saying goodbye… Secondly, the accommodation was fantastic. The food was really good and culturally authentic. We had a full 12 people on the expedition and we still got our own room in the cabin we mushed to. The base lodging was really comfortable too. I’d say a much more luxurious experience than I was expecting. I also got engaged to my fiancée on the trip. So another reason why we’ll never forget this trip. Oh, and lastly, Phil and Luis (the guides) were great. Really fun, knowledgeable and incredibly patient!

This trip is everything you want Norway to be! Dog sledding is extremely fun and not physically demanding. The cabin, lodge, and teepees where we stayed were all comfortable, warm, and cozy. The winter landscape was gorgeous, and we saw the Northern Lights multiple times. The food was amazing, the company of others delightful, and adventure was unforgettable. If you're a dog lover, there is lots of extra time to spend with the dogs, too!

This is a properly awesome bucket list trip. Our guides (Phil & Marko) were brilliant and taught us how to look after the dogs, how to fix them up to the sled and home them in the evening, and how to drive them across the plateau. Sledding through real wilderness is an amazing experience, even in -31 degrees c (it's really cold - take the kit list seriously). The dogs are really happy and well cared for, and insanely powerful and keen to run all day. The food was amazing, and beers with our fellow travellers in the evenings by a warm fire topped it off.

The trip was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. The biggest surprise was the fact that the we were able to spend so much time with the dogs when they weren't pulling. I had imagined that because they were working dogs that they would be off limits but I have just spent 3 days petting the most affectionate dogs ever. Each with their individual personalities. The sledding was phenomenal - with scenery to die for. And the accommodation and food was excellent. The team were fantastic, particularly Marco and Phil who we spent the most time with. They quite obviously love what they do, love the dogs and had unlimited patience with us as a group. And we even got to see the Northen Lights on our first night. Absolute trip of a lifetime that I would repeat tomorrow!

What can I say… if you’re looking at this and thinking about booking, just do it. Our hosts Phil and Marco (and the rest of the team) were simply incredible. The lodge and the accommodation was much higher quality than anyone on the trip I went could have imagined. You’re in good hands with the team and will have an experience you will never forget! Simply amazing.

The most amazing trip, truly awesome. I was astounded by how friendly the huskies were and how much we were able to get involved with caring for the dogs. Phil, our host guide was absolutely brilliant and made the trip what it was, he was tireless in his enthusiasm and all the hard work he put in. All the staff obviously cared very much for the dogs and their welfare. I’ll never forget this fantastic experience!

A really memorable trip to experience the unspoilt wilderness of northern Norway with little impact from human civilisation. The trip was extremely well executed from the moment we arrived and overdelivered on many aspects. We were very well looked after, the food was delicious, tipis are fabulous and facilities were above expectation. The guides knew every single dog personally by look and personality (so impressed by this) and the dogs were well cared for, extremely friendly and well mannered. You are invited to get involved with their feeding and care if you wish, which was lovely. By the end of the trip everyone had a ‘favourite’. Good mix of people including singles, friends, couples and family which worked well at communal meal times. Sledding was straightforward. The twilight trip through the woods on the first evening was magical and good to get a feel of the sleds and dogs before setting out the next day. Phil was a really attentive, personable guide . We had snow, sun, northern lights (lucky with the weather) and enjoyed every aspect of the trip. My personal favourite element was that it felt “off the beaten (tourist) track”. We will be looking to book more Much Better Adventures in future.

A stunning step into the Arctic circle, where nothing, especially the weather, should be taken for granted. But when the sun shined, it was one of the most awe inspiring wildernesses I have ever journeyed through. Great hosts who struck the perfect balance between down to earth easygoingness and unwavering enthusiasm and professionalism. In short, a trip of a lifetime!!

What a fantastic experience this was. To travel through the Arctic Tundra on a sledge being pulled by the most enthusiastic and incredible dogs was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done. It’s hard to find words to describe the sheer beauty of it all. The dogs are absolutely gorgeous and well trained, so friendly, cuddly and affectionate, you can tell that their wellbeing is a top priority to all members of staff. I loved how they let us get involved with the huskies, feeding them and getting them ready. Everyone of us developed a special bond with at least one dog. The accommodation (a cosy, warm tippy) food and hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional and the gear they supplied was excellent for the cold conditions. We even got to see the Northern Lights on a couple of nights which made it even more special. But what really made this a fantastic trip was our guides, Philip and Luís, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves dogs and nature. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Holmen Huskies for your warm hospitality and a special thanks to Philip for all your enthusiasm, kindness, reassurance and good spirits.

An amazing experience, but could have done with more time sledding.
