Greg M2025-04-27 Easily one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland! The owners were so welcoming and hospitable inviting us into their house and allowing us to spend time and interact with so many adorable, friendly Huskies. This was such an amazing experience and is certainly worth adding to your itinerary if you’re passing by the area. Sarah Smit2025-03-31 Absolutely loved our visit to goHusky!! Gunni and Maria genuinely love what they do and it shows, they have amazing dogs and are so friendly you will feel like part of the family. They have several options of activities with the dogs to suit your preference. They also spin their own wool from the dogs’ fur and have merchandise available for purchase which I loved and was happy to support their business by grabbing a souvenir. Highly recommend! 🐕🤍 Sarah Thrasher2025-03-19 We didn't do the tour in the end with go husky for the winter dog sledding as there wasn't enough snow . But this company went out if his way to book me in with another company a hour away from akureyri . Thanks much appreciated Nathan Rutter2025-03-12 This was such a beautiful experience all around. The guides, María and Gunni, were so great at giving us tons of information and backstory on the dogs and how the tours started. Even in a sunny day with snow melting, they put the effort in to make sure snow was on the track so we could sled. The dogs were so wonderful and will make you feel at home. When we come back to Iceland, this will be on the top of the list to come back and do. Check out this tour, you will not regret it! Beth Lewis2025-02-07 We were unsure what to expect when booking a husky meet and greet, especially on the rainiest and windiest day of the year. However, we were so incredibly happy we did! Despite the weather, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The husband and wife team were lovely, and their passion for the dogs was evident. They keep 29 huskies in their home, and it was clear that these pups are well looked after and loved. Meeting the huskies was an unforgettable experience. They were the best behaved little babies, playful, energetic, and full of personality, which truly brightened our day despite the gloomy weather. We loved learning about their training and the unique traits of each dog. The stories they shared were just the highlight of the whole thing. Overall, this experience exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you so much for having us and welcoming us to your little corner of the world. We highly recommend this to anyone looking to connect with these amazing animals, rain or shine! ❤️ Lui2025-01-29 So süße Hunde, zufällig gesehen. Besitzer waren sehr freundlich 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.

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!
