Must do in Akureyri ..GoHusky Trekking
goHusky trekking is located on the northern outskirts of Akureyri and spending time with them was a real treat. I had a car do drive but they offer pickup too. What a great operation Gunnar and Marìa have with this business. The huskies gave me a very boisterous welcome upon arrival. Apparently they launch into this singing, as they are pleased to see visitors. Simple commands and they quieten down very quickly. The owners start training their huskies with obedience commands from the get go, showing dedication and patience, more evident throughout my visit. All the huskies were introduced to me. Who were excited, not sure if it was just seeing me or they knew it meant a walk when visitors arrived, it was their way of saying ‘pick me, pick me’ mentality! by the huskies! Marìa gave me a background talk on ‘why and how’ this business was started Then we got ready for the husky hike. The huskey’s age/ temperament matched to me. Which was great. We went on a local trail and it was great having one on one time with the husky and Marìa. To questions about the husky way of life. We were fortunate with the weather, late in the afternoon made it a delightful experience. Upon return I was introduced to the husky’s environment, which included the house as the husky’s are members of the family. I got to see the newest members of the family, the puppies. They were adorable.

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!

What an amazing experience! The huskies are more loved and cared for than any dogs I’ve met. The tour guide was so kind and sweet. We loved our tour!!

The best, dogledding. GoHusky!
What a wonderful experience to take a ride on a dogsled through fresh snow in the forest, by the fjord, under the mountains. Better, you don't know anything about dog sledding until you spend a couple of up close and personal hours with a champion! And the huskies are not just mind bendingy cute, but friendly as! Loved it, highly recommended. No special skills required. Thanks Gunnar, it was brilliant.

A wonderful excursion for dog lovers! Especially if you are missing your dog(s) while you are on vacation.
The owners communicated with our travel agent and us about what the snow conditions would allow for us to do and gave us options based on weather forecast and conditions. Given the way the weather can change quickly there, their excellent communication helped us plan for this activity. From the moment we pulled up, we all were in love with all the dogs and this activity. We honestly could have just had dog snuggle time for hours! That said, we took turns on a private dog sledding run that made core memories for us the parents and our teens. One teen even had a brief turn driving the sled. This area is beautiful and the perspective on the sled was a memorable one. The dogs’ personalities and their obvious love of sledding made us all have permanent smiles. After the sledding we returned for hot chocolate, coffee, dog snuggles and learned about the innovative way dog hair is being reused. I had to buy an ear warmer made from husky hair. A favorite and functional souvenir. We have one dog ( German Shep/lab/husky mix) and one teen is already wondering about making something useful from all his excess hair. We heard about their hikes when snow melts and if we were here in the summer we would absolutely try that.

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!!

An amazing morning at GoHusky
Well this was an amazing morning. We were met at our hotel in Akureyri and driven 15 minutes to site. Great conversation about the town and people. On arrival we were met by a chorus of husky dogs. The noise was deafening. Our host gave us a great insight into how they are cared for and we spent a good amount of time playing with the dogs. We then went on an amazing ride through the woods. The dogs were really excited to be running and were well controlled. On our return, we were allowed into the house to see how they live and talk to the owner for quite some time about life living with 20+ huskies. This is a truly fantastic experience. Don't hesitate to try GoHusky.

Just a perfect day.
One of the best days I have ever spent. From the friendly pick up and communication, to the dog sledding and to Gunni sharing his love of their dogs, it was a perfect day. My wife had to drag me back to the hotel!

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.
