Moa Hundseid Expedition

A family-run kennel on Kvaløya whose premium self-drive bundles meal, winter clothing and hotel pickup — show up in normal clothes, everything else is handled.

Moa Hundseid Expedition is the newest name in our comparison and the top of its price ladder (~€367) — and the price buys completeness rather than just a ride: a warm meal at the kennel, full winter clothing on loan (thermal suit and boots) and pickup at the Radisson Blu in central Tromsø are all included. The family operation runs its kennel on Kvaløya, about 40 minutes from town, so roughly 3 of the 4.5 tour hours are actually spent with the dogs. Rated 4.7 ★ across more than 500 reviews.

About this tour

The top-priced self-drive tour in this comparison, and the price buys completeness: Moa Hundseid Expedition includes a warm meal, full winter clothing on loan and hotel pickup in central Tromsø — you show up in normal winter clothes and everything else is handled. The kennel sits on Kvaløya, about 40 minutes from town, so roughly 3 of the 4.5 hours are actually spent with the dogs.

The operator does not publish an official sledding time; recent reviewers describe roughly 45 to 60 minutes on the sled — which, if it holds for your departure, is among the longer rides in Tromsø. Treat it as a review impression, not a guarantee.

What's included

  • Warm meal at the kennel
  • Full winter clothing on loan (thermal suit, boots)
  • Hotel pickup in central Tromsø (Radisson Blu, Sjøgata 7)

What “all-inclusive” means here

Most Tromsø husky tours include thermal outer gear and a transfer; this one goes further. The loaned kit is full winter clothing — thermal suit and boots — so you arrive in normal winter clothes rather than packing expedition layers. The meal is a warm one at the kennel, with vegetarian and vegan options selectable at booking. And the pickup is at a fixed central point, outside the Radisson Blu at Sjøgata 7. For travellers arriving without winter kit, the bundle can be worth more than the roughly €50 gap to the next tour down.

The ride, according to reviewers

The operator publishes no official sledding time — the one gap in an otherwise complete listing. Recent reviewers consistently describe 45 to 60 minutes on the sled, with stops to swap driver and passenger — which, if it holds for your departure, is among the longer rides in Tromsø, behind only the 70–80-minute Arctic Adventure Tours run. Treat it as a review impression, not a guarantee. Reviewers also mention two practicalities worth knowing: small groups (one March visitor was one of just three guests), and short uphill stretches where you run beside the sled and push — a basic level of fitness helps.

For whom Moa Hundseid is the right choice

Good fit if…

  • You want one price that covers everything — meal, full winter clothing, central hotel pickup
  • You value the small-scale, family-run character reviewers keep describing
  • You want long kennel time: about 3 hours at the camp is the most in this comparison
  • A longer ride matters and 45–60 reviewer-reported minutes is close enough

Not ideal if…

  • You have an animal allergy — the listing excludes exactly that
  • You need a guaranteed ride length in writing → the 70–80 minutes at Arctic Adventure Tours is official
  • Budget leads your decision — Breivikeidet does self-drive plus meal for about €115 less → prices explained
  • You are booking for young children: the listing states no minimum age, so ask the operator first

The practical details

  • Format: self-drive with a guide, swapping driver and passenger during the ride
  • Included: warm meal (vegetarian/vegan options at booking), thermal suit and boots on loan, pickup outside the Radisson Blu at Sjøgata 7
  • Languages: Norwegian and English
  • Wildlife: the trail crosses terrain where moose and reindeer sightings are possible — a bonus, not a promise
  • Restrictions: not suitable for travellers with animal allergies; no minimum age published — ask before booking with children

What travellers at this kennel say

The recurring themes: a family operation that feels personal, dogs in visibly good shape — and the practical notes on ride length and fitness that the listing itself leaves out.

“The minibus picks you up from the centre of Tromso, and takes around 45 minutes. You then are able to borrow snow gear at the camp … The dog sled experience itself was wonderful, and last around 45 minutes, with a number of stops to let you swap driving/passenger. Be warned: you do need a level of fitness as there is a short period of running uphill whilst pushing the sled!”
Ciaran · United Kingdom · March 2026 Premium Self-Drive + Meal · Moa Hundseid Expedition
“… you semi drive the dogs but with a guide, 10/12 dogs, my son did the driving and i was the passenger, the time on the sleigh was perfect for us, around 1 hour … lots of time after to hang out with the dogs, have a lovely soup and a chat.”

FAQ

What is included in the Moa Hundseid tour price?

A warm meal at the kennel (vegetarian and vegan options selectable at booking), full winter clothing on loan — thermal suit and boots — and pickup at the Radisson Blu, Sjøgata 7, in central Tromsø. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

How long is the sled ride?

The operator publishes no official figure. Recent reviewers consistently describe 45 to 60 minutes on the sled with driver swaps — among the longer rides in Tromsø if it holds for your departure, but a review impression rather than a guarantee.

Where is the kennel?

On Kvaløya, about 40 minutes from central Tromsø. With 40 minutes of transfer each way, roughly 3 of the 4.5 tour hours are spent at the camp — the most kennel time in our comparison.

Is the tour physically demanding?

Mostly no — but reviewers flag short uphill stretches where you hop off and push the sled while running beside it. A basic level of fitness makes those moments fun instead of miserable.

Can children join, and what about allergies?

The listing states no minimum age — ask the operator before booking with children. It does explicitly exclude travellers with animal allergies: three hours at a working kennel is the wrong place for one.
