goHusky is a small Icelandic family owned company that offers all year around husky tours.
Our adventure started when we had our first Alaskan husky called Aska. We, Gunnar and María, own 21 dogs today and we do all kinds of fun activities with our dogs, Dogsledding, Bikejoring, Canicross and some of the dogs are show dogs as well.
goHusky offers various dog sledding experience with huskies in Akureyri area. You can choose between Dog sledding, Hiking with husky and Husky Petting, private or in a group, what ever suits you best.
In the winter we offer Dog Sledding Tours on snow, right from our doorstep in our home in Glæsibær in North Iceland, in the countryside and surrounding area. We love to take our guests on dogsledding tours in these beautiful landscape.
All year around we offer visit to our home to meet the huskies and have a wonderful time with our lovely dogs. You can take endless pictures while visiting and get a lot of husky kisses.
We also offer hiking with husky, where guests have a waist harness and a pulling dog in front and it is amazing to find the power of the dogs and see how they work with their nature.
EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Renata W2025-05-21 I want a walk, doggos and some cuddles but get much more: Love, happiness and kisses ♥︎ We had a super great hike with the Huskys. The owner is with his dogs with heart and passion. And the huskys are happy to return that to the visitors. They are relaxed, well educated, loving and cuddled. It was a great experience to feel the power and endurance of the dogs, as well as to get to know their diverse characters and visual differences. We felt like we were in heaven and didn't want to leave at all. Alexander Woywodt2025-03-28 Brilliant! We did the Husky petting here in March 2025. This was such a lovely experience - by this time of the holiday we were really missing our own dog. The dogs were very sweet and affectionate and they had puppies too. We really enjoyed this very much - would very much recommend this to everybody who loves dogs. The owners were very helpful too - they picked us up in town and took us back afterwards Allison R2025-03-25 Amazing experience by amazing people! We had an incredible time and couldn’t recommend GoHusky enough! We were originally going to do a dogsled ride, but Gunni contacted us a few days before our visit to share that there wasn’t enough snow for a sled ride. He gave us an option to do a cart ride, a hike, or just puppy petting. We opted for the hike and really enjoyed it! Maria took my husband and I out and taught us about the dogs, their business, and the area. It was a truly magical way to explore the area! After the hike, we were welcomed into Maria and Gunni’s home for some hot chocolate and puppy hang out time. Gunni showed us how he can spin yarn from the fur the dogs shed and Maria knits it into hats and gloves you can buy! Such an amazing family and business, and we hope we can visit again. Cannot recommend GoHusky enough! Tracey E2025-01-23 A wonderful and really memorable experience We had a wonderful time petting the huskies at goHusky. Being surrounded by 29 beautiful, friendly, cuddly huskies for an hour - what more can you ask for? We wanted to sign up for dog sledding but timing didn't allow it and this was such a great alternative. Gunnar and Maria were really friendly and we loved Gunnar's stories - he is quite an inspiration! Kent Tay2024-12-10 Marvelous experience! Definitely should try this experience while in Iceland! We wanted to try the husky sledding but it was not in season in Oct, so we decided to go for the husky hiking experience - which was something we have not done before. It turned out to be just as a wonderful experience, if not more! Gunnar and Maria are very friendly, greeting and welcoming us with big smiles on their faces. Coming from a very warm country and not having much experience with dogs, we got to have up-close and personal interactions with huskies while hiking with them and got to see them in their natural element and being so eager to pull us along. Gunnar was a very passionate and wonderful storyteller, sharing with us about how all of their huskies came about and how they changed his life. It was really inspiring to hear! For the second part of the tour, we were invited into their cozy home and the feeling of being surrounded by so many adorable fluffy huskies was paradise! They shared about their routine and life with the huskies, the many awards and trophies they have won from competitions throughout the years, and we learned so much about huskies! They have made use of the space in their house to efficiently accommodate all 26 huskies and was interesting to see. Maria was also very kind, even offering her jacket so my wife’s light-coloured jacket wouldn’t get dirty when the huskies got over-excited and wanted to hug us when they were first introduced. Thank you Gunnar and Maria for giving us such an unforgettable experience, and being such kind and friendly people, sharing your life stories and home with us, and we can tell that the huskies love you guys a lot! Mark P2024-11-19 Amazing experience Took my daughter to Gohusky for her 18th birthday as see loves Huskies. Gunnar and Maria are really lovely and welcoming and the dogs are just adorable . They are very calm and friendly and all have their own personalities. If you are in and around Akureyri I highly recommend a visit. Thank you Gunnar and Maria for being such fantastic hosts. Hopefully see you again next time Elif Coban2024-11-04 Incredible Experience An incredible experience that brought so much joy to our trip. The husky’s are stunning and so well cared for. It was really fascinating to learn how Go Husky run and we were warmly welcomed. We would highly recommend visiting this lovely family! Thank you to Go Husky for allowing us time with your amazing dogs and for providing us with a beautiful experience. Silke H2024-10-09 In Hushy Paradise Huskys are such balanced, wonderful dogs who love to be petted. It's great to sit in the middle of the group to cuddle everyone. Gunnar and Maria are two loving dog parents who answer all your questions and to whom you notice the love for the dogs.I would strongly recommend anyone who loves dogs and is near Akureyri to stop there, no matter what Things to do. It's an experience that you won't forget so soon and probably won't be allowed to experience again so soon. GRZ2024-09-01 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 Cindy N2024-08-26 Don’t pass up a chance to do this if you can! This was an awesome experience! The dogs are really well trained and easy to spend time with. The walk was a brisk 45 minutes and very well-organized. This man loves his dogs! And the puppies! So lovely to have a chance to spend time with 9-week-old puppies too. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend!
