Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We’ve just had a amazing 4 day trip away with this company in the wilderness.

Led by Gaynor, 6 of us with our very own four dog teams travelled out into the Swedish artic circle landscape through forests and across frozen lakes.

These adventures are designed to be as interactive or as lazy as you like. However, for me the more you muck in the more fun there is to be had. The dogs are so well cared for and therefore are just so loving and easy to handle.

Accommodation was in lodges, the first two nights was a small warm and very comfortable cabin. Where we made a fire and cooked on a simple stove. The last night we were spoilt, with a catered lodge and a 3 course meal.

The weather was kind to us, although cold the outdoor gear that the company supplies keeps you snuggly warm.

We were so lucky to experience the Northern Lights two nights in a row. Just magical, when seen in dark sky’s of the Swedish wilderness.

I highly recommend this trip.

We just had a fantastic three night/four day dog sledding experience with this sledding outfit. The trip was tailor-made for us by one of the owners, Gaynor, and she made sure we had a wonderful time. We were three couples and each of us had our own dog sled. We traveled from cabin to cabin, and she made sure everything ran smoothly (from the actual sledding to providing meals as well) even in -25 degree temperatures! Also, you’ll not meet friendlier nor better cared for dogs. This company and the experiences they offer are of the highest quality; highly recommend.

The tour was fantastic. We were picked up from Camp Ripan And taken to the kennel where we met many cuteee dogs who were super excited to meet us.
They gave us warm clothes to keep us comfortable in the extreme cold weather and also took care of all our requirements. The sledge was very comfortable but the best part of the experience was seeing these incredible dogs run and enjoy while doing so.
The dogs ran through this amazing forest with so much excitement and never even missing a turn. We took a break after 30 minutes and were given warm tea which homemade cakes. Here we got a chance to meet all the dogs and play with them. This was the best experience we could have hoped for in Kiruna.

My friend and I booked a snowmobile private tour just the day before the activity (planned for Sunday).
It was really amazing, the weather was super and we enjoyed a lot riding the snowmobile through the forest and on the lake and the river in Kiruna.
We were two in a single motorbike (paying 2700 sek for both), switching the positions and being the driver and the passenger time by time.
At the half of the track, we sat in a typical tipi (the Sami tent) to warm us up a bit and have a cup of coffee and a delicious slice of homemade cake.
Thanks for everything, you are the best!!!

Three adults had a very enjoyable evening dogsled ride through the forest, across a river, to a Sami hut in search of seeing the aurora. The 11-dog team was ably driven by Julie, whose love of the dogs was evident. Though the aurora was not seen, the moon and stars were bright. The fire warmed our hands and the hot tea and homemade cake warmed our insides for the return trip.
We highly recommend this activity. Wear warm clothes and take advantage of the offered snow suits, boots, and mittens. Enjoy!

This was on my dreams for years and when you have such high and long time expectations, it can get tricky.
These people secured that our experience was just according to our dreams, or better!!
Pick up at the hotel (thanks for masks in the van) and a 10 minutes drive brought us to a fantastic Swedish Lapland environment. There you are offered warm clothes (well, warmer than what you probably already have). Everyone got a jacket, you can borrow sky pants, artic boots and mittens. Clothes look new and really make the difference.
Then they finish the dogs preparation for the two sleds. Every sled host 4 people and is pulled by 14 enthusiastic dogs.
The ride brings you on a defined 12 km path, both in the forest and on the frozen river, with a stop in a tend for some warm coffee and a muffin. It is exciting, magic, emotional all in one.
We didn’t suffer any cold, our son (10) was in the front of the sled and loved every second of it, plus he could cuddle every single dog :-)
The crew is professional and extremely nice. They take care of their 50 dogs, including a race team. Can’t imagine how much work goes behind the scenes!
Thank you for once in a lifetime experience!

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had and we cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
Every detail is taken care of by an incredible team. Gaynor and Milos go out of their way to ensure guests are as comfortable as they can be and nothing is too much trouble. The lodge is just stunning with everything you need for a more than comfortable stay. Everything was provided from all warm weather gear to delicious meals served in the lodge. We felt truly spoilt! We chose to drive our own sledges, an absolutely incredible experience! The dogs are in their element and it’s clear that Gaynor and Milos genuinely love each and every one of their dogs. We visited the ice hotel which was fantastic and joined the morning coffee sled ride, another chance to see these wonderful snow dogs doing what they do best - run! Another highlight was the Sauna, heaven after a long ride.
A truly magical experience, something that we will never forget, we were just sad we couldn’t stay longer.
Thank you to Gaynor, Milos and your wonderful team, we will return!

Passion for what they do, dedication to their guests and genuine approach, is truly what these people are about. The 3 of us had a week’s holiday we will never forget with Milos & Gaynor!
They’re super experienced, well organised with brilliant and well looked after dogs and provide top notch equipment. Their lodge is of a very high standard, very comfortable and tastefully decorated.
A special thanks to Milos who guided us into the wilderness for several days: He was unassumingly mega efficient to ensure everything worked as planned with a smile on his face. He was a fabulous coach to the 3 Artic rookies we were and, to top it all cooked us great food. What a guy!
And of course, we were hugely grateful and felt privileged to be pulled by these incredibly powerful dogs across huge distances in stunning scenery. A connection with nature and the elements that none of us experienced before with such intensity - Priceless
A Major Thank You

Gaynor and Milosh are wonderful!!
They planed us special activities to fit our requirements- very patiently and professionally.
We had two days safari on snowmobiles and two days with dogsledding, both to remote locations and overnight in isolated cabins.
We also spent 4 nights in their home cabin.
All was organised perfectly! We had an amazing time!!!
All cabins are located far from the City with an option to watch the northern lights from the spot. We were lucky to witness it for three long nights!
Many thanks for an absolutely awesome vacation!!! 😘

This was our third holiday with Gaynor and Milos. We have had three unbeatable holidays with them and their wonderful dogs. They run the most friendly and highly professional dog sledding business, I can’t recommend them highly enough. We have been so well looked after over our five day trip and had the best time in this magical place.
