We were very much looking forward to a magical experience, gliding over a glacier lead by a team of dogs. Though the landscape was lovely and certainly a unique experience, it was underwelming and so expensive. The team of dog are lead by two drivers on skis along the sled and then another lead on skis ahead of them, and... More

What an amazing experience we have had! I am a dog lover and have always wondered what it would feel like to be sitting or standing on a sled being dragged around by the huge alaskan dogs. The experience was simply unforgetable and it easily topped one of my highlights during my vacation in Iceland. When I visited Iceland with... More

Great dogs, great guides and place. Cant think of any dislike. Must do experience when in Iceland. Book directly from dogsedding.is Drive to their site is cheapest and time efficient. More

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. I went dogsledding last year in Norway and was fortunate enough to do so under a fantastic display of the northern lights. No such luck this year - a very faint streak just but still. When we went, dogsledding.is had moved to a temporary base where there was snow.... More

My partner & I had a wonderful afternoon dogsledding experience with the Dogsledding.is family. The weather was cold but sunny with beautiful skies, the scenery was magnificent & we had a great time. The sleds are small & personal - one sitting & one standing at the back - helping to 'mush' - a must for enay trip to the... More

One of the highlights from our fantastic trip to Iceland. Our guide was fantastic, he was very friendly and helpful. We were all given thermal suits and equipment to make sure we were safe and warm. The dogs were amazing, very friendly with an excellent temperament towards people. The views were excellent and the journey was just the right length.... More

We decided early on in our planning of this trip to go sledding. These guys are the only company offering dog sledding, mainly because dog sledding isn't a tradition here, and the dogs are 'imported' breeds and the lack of snow for the most part of the year on flatter terrains. However we were super super lucky that January 2012... More

We are sure the dog sledding would be marvelous. Was to be the highlight of our trip. Directions from Selfoss are unclear. The weather was very bad with blown snow across the road. We had driven 300 km that day but just 5km from Holmasel, thick snow, stuck, took over 1 hour for local farmers to get us on the... More

My friend and I went dogsledding with Eskimos.is. We had a great day. I contacted Eskimos long before our holiday to Iceland and they informed me shortly before our departure that snow conditions were good and that we could go sledding. The dogs were amazing, so willing and keen to work. The landscape was stunning as were the colors in... More

We arrived in Iceland out of season (October) and therefore it was not possible to do dog sledding up on the glacier so ATV tours are run in the nearby countryside, surrounding the farm. The weather was wet and cool but that did not dampen the dogs, ours or the mushers' enthusiasum. After we were all kitted out with warm... More
