Poorvi Srivastava2025-01-04 This was best stop we made in Iceland. So much so, we came again the next morning cause we couldn't get enough! We went for a petting experience and that did not disappoint at all! It really was such a joyful experience for me and my hubby! The dogs are wonderful! Just plain wonderful! Super playful yet they understand and listen to everything. You'd think it would be difficult to do so with 26 dogs. But nope. Each and everyone of them has a lovely personality and we loved getting to know them! We were lucky to find the pups and play with them in our laps 😅 since we hadn't had a pup in quite sometime. On top of all this, the owners are amazing people. Gunnar and Maria are just so passionate and honestly just happy to the core to be doing this with their babies, they made me wanna leave my job and start a Gohusky 🙈 thanks a lot you guys! Recommend this place 100/10. Don't miss out! Viola Di Veroli2025-01-03 We absolutely loved our experience with GoHusky! From the moment we arrived, we could feel the excitement building, but nothing prepared us for just how incredible the day would be. Dogsledding had always been on our bucket list, and this experience far exceeded our expectations. Gunnar and Maria are such a lovely couple, and it’s immediately clear how much they love and care for their huskies. It felt like stepping into one big, happy family where the dogs are truly the stars. The dogsledding itself was absolutely crazy—in the best way! The energy of the dogs, their excitement, and the stunning Icelandic scenery made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The dogs were so happy, and their joy was contagious. After the sledding adventure, we were warmly welcomed with hot chocolate, and we got to hear Gunnar and Maria’s story, which made the experience even more personal. Spending time with the dogs afterward was such a treat, as we got to know each of their unique personalities better. If you’re in Akureyri, this is an absolute must-do. It truly elevates your entire Iceland trip and leaves you with memories to cherish forever! Kathleen Grove2024-12-29 One of the best times of my l life.

Highly recommend. ageofpaddsmar2024-11-19 Took my daughter for her 18th birthday. We had a fantastic time. Gunnar and Maria are lovely people and very welcoming. The dogs are super adorable and ver affectionate. I would recommend this to anyone if you're in Akureyri. Thank you Gunnar and Maria for such a lovely experience Pepijn Broekers2024-11-05 Wonderfull people! I was to early for a sledging tour, but the walking tour is also very nice! The huskies are really nice amd playfull! Even my girlfrend, she is scared of dogs, could come in to cuddle with them. The tour is full of information, and every question I asked was answered. Tierza Van Dam2024-10-03 26 dogs, and every one of them have manners, even the puppies!!! You can truly tell these furbabies are loved. We went just to pet them, can you blame us!? The owners are also very sweet and welcoming 🙏 Rod Demeny2024-10-01 We had an amazing time playing with and learning about the 26 huskies. The dogs are incredibly sweet, calm, soft, friendly, and wonderful to spend time with. Their owners Gunnar and Maria are such loving parents and take great care of their dogs. Be sure to have the dogs sing for you! They are as excited to meet you as you are to enjoy them. Pick-up and drop off near our cruise ship made everything easy. Cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Laura Thomas2024-09-28 Me and my partner came here today for the Husky Petting experience while visiting Akureyri on a cruise, and we cannot recommend it enough! Easily the best thing to do whilst in Akureyri itself. The company offers transfers to and from their location from several spots in town (including the Port) and are a short 10 min drive away. The dogs are absolutely beautiful and incredibly well cared for and friendly. Thanks to this experience we are looking to get a Husky ourselves in the near future! We are also looking to return in the coming months for their dog sledding that runs through the Winter months. This company is a family run business and truly care for their guests & their pups! Muthu K.2024-09-27 I had such a wonderful experience with Gunnar and Maria. They are very welcoming, kind and willing to share so much about their lovely huskies. They have so much of passion, love, patience & care for their pets and have created such a wonderful home for them to live in. This truly blew me away. I had a chance to go for a walk with Maria and one of their huskies and learnt so much about Husky breeds and their personalities, features, diet, lifestyle etc. If I ever had a chance to go back to Akureryi, I will definitely go for this tour again. It is really worth the time and money! C. Nicholas Rowbatham2024-09-10 This was so fun. The couple who runs it is so personable. Did the summertime hike and the dogs pull you so you never got tired. They show you how they take care of the dogs and go above and beyond.Load more
EXCELLENT Based on 74 reviews 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. 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! Todd L2024-08-17 Husky Heaven Gunnar and Maria's dogs are great. So much fun! The hike was incredible.The dogs are so sweet and are friendly and affectionate to strangers czminn2024-08-04 Ten stars out of five! This was the highlight of my trip to Iceland. The family picked us up downtown and drove us to their beautiful place on the water. We were greeted by 21 huskies and got to pet them for a while, then were given a harness and paired with a dog and went on a beautiful hike in the woods. The dogs each have their own personalities and are so funny. When we finished the hike we had more time to pet the dogs and see the house where they all live. The family is warm and generous, and they are geniuses for creating this experience. There were surprises at the end too — I don’t want to spoil them. If you love dogs, I highly recommend this!!! SMF2024-07-18 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. Quest294531379052024-06-10 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!
