Dog Sledding Adventure in Tamokdalen
Advanced Dog Sledding Tour at Camp Tamok
The Tamokdalen day is mostly travel and camp time around one sled run: 95 minutes on the bus each way, then the group splits at the camp — one half sleds while the other visits the dog yard and eats, then you swap. Two departures run, 09:30–16:00 and 13:30–20:00.
Destination Tromsø's tours use two bases in the valley: Camp Tamok (Tamokveien 1374, Øverbygd), where the advanced, night and combo tours go, and Tamokhuset, where the easy day goes. Inland valleys are colder than the coast, which is why operators come here for snow; no public temperature figure for the valley is quoted here.
The advanced dog sledding tour at Camp Tamok is for fit adults: the trail can have fresh snow or uphill sections where you get off and help push, both partners must meet the fitness requirement because you swap halfway, and the guides may refuse a driver or passenger on the day. In return you get more trail; one guest reports that "the sledding lasted about 1.5 hours".
The day otherwise mirrors the easy one: a 90-minute bus ride each way from Prostneset, a 09:30 departure, thermal gear, toilets at the camp, and warm stew and drinks in a lavvu after the run. It takes guests from 16 and up to 120 kg. The calendar has dates from December to March, on 24–26 days a month from January.
The bookable price we found is higher than the "from" price GetYourGuide advertises; we show the bookable one.
Book the easy day instead: same valley, age 7+.

Book the easy Tamokdalen day unless both of you are fit adults who want a harder, longer trail. The easy day takes children from 7, offers two departures a day and holds ★4.9 from 1,534 reviews; the advanced tour starts at 16, asks you to help push uphill and costs more.
Our verdict · Under 16 in the group, or not sure about pushing a sled uphill → easy day. Two fit adults who want more trail → advanced.

Camp Tamok also hosts three tours where the dogs are one part of a bigger day or night: an evening with a sled run, a snowmobile chase and dinner; a morning combo with reindeer; and a day that continues by snowmobile to the three-country border. Each has its own comparison page.

Guests praise the dogs' condition, the guides and the food at the Tamok camps; the easy day holds ★4.9 from 1,534 reviews and the advanced tour ★4.7 from 774. The one reservation in the quotes we hold is about the night combo, where the sled part can feel short for the price.

the sled part feeling short on the night combo for its price
“Absolutely the best thing we did when in Tromso. So much fun! Highly recommended!!”
“The dogs are extremely well cared for and happy. The food was excellent.”
“The sledding lasted about 1.5 hours, and we switched places halfway through.”
“The dog sleighing part was amazing but a bit short to my taste especially considering the price of the whole experience.”
Quotes from verified GetYourGuide reviews · Nov 2026
The Tamok valley is right if you have a full day and want inland trails, a hot meal at the camp and, on the advanced tour, a harder run. If you have only a morning, a half day on Kvaløya or in Breivikeidet spends far less time on the bus; if you want reindeer or a snowmobile too, take a combo.
And want the inland valley: the Tamokdalen sled day.
Kvaløya is 25–35 minutes away: self-drive half days.
Same day, one booking: dog sledding and reindeer combos.
About 90 minutes each way by bus to Camp Tamok and about 95 minutes to Tamokhuset, both in the Tamok valley near Øverbygd. Every Tamok tour here includes the bus from central Tromsø.
Yes: the Tamokdalen day and the advanced tour both list toilets at the camp among their inclusions.
Yes on all of them, in different forms: a hot meal on the easy day, warm stew on the advanced tour, a 2-course dinner on the night combo, a snack on the Arctic Combo, and a sandwich lunch plus dinner on the border tour.
Colder than in the city, because the valley is inland; we have no reliable figure for the camp itself. Tromsø city averages −5.3 °C to −1.0 °C in January. Thermal suits, boots and mittens are lent on every Tamok tour.
Fit enough to help push the sled through fresh snow and up hills, and both partners must manage it, because you swap halfway. The guides may refuse participation for health and safety reasons. The easy day asks only that you can drive in pairs.
Yes, from 7 on the Tamokdalen day and on the Arctic Combo, and from 12 on the border tour. The advanced tour and the night combo are 16+.
For Camp Tamok Tromso dog sledding, book the Tamokdalen sled day: drive your own sled in the inland valley, hot meal included, departures at 09:30 or 13:30, children from 7, from $359 per person, with free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead. Check dates for our pick ↑
