Real fun experience driving a sledge pulled by huskies - You travel about 45 mins from Riga city centre to a forest where you will be met on arrival by the howling of the huskies as they are keen to get sledging The huskies are very friendly to humans but not to other dogs being walked nearby !! You get a chance to both sit in the sledge being pulled by the huskies and also standing on the runners at the back The huskies basically know what they are doing - so you don’t have to worry about steering along the track - you can swap over between driver and rider at half way point Total ride is about 6-7 mins long Was a very different and great experience

Husky Sledding - An amazing experience, pick up from hotel and drop off. Time spent with the huskies. They are so affectionate. Sledding was brilliant. Well organised and the team are all very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing! Book it! - If you are a dog person, which i very much am, this is a must do! What a great activity! Picked up by Gints who was very friendly anf he informed us about different parts of the city and things we passed on the way. We were also talking about the working dogs and his own digs on the way and he is very much a dog lover, and we got to meet his own king charles spaniel 😁 We were taken to the forest where the dogs were all ready and waiting and we were talked through some of the different dogs stories. All but one of the dogs was super friendly (some of them are rescues, so please dont judge that one, theyre allowed to be wary of strangers), and all of the others were very much willing to play and have cuddles and some are absolute posers for photos! Theyre working dogs and you can tell they are looked after very well, and they get so excited when a team is being put tigether and they are all howling to be picked. They clearly love what they do 🥰 They have little magnets and keyring and things of each of the dogs and we have a holiday memory box so we got a magnet of "Honda" as they were on of our favourites (most of the dogs have their name on their harness). Also absolutely loved one of the endurance race dogs who was just full of personality, tried not to pick favourites, but he was absolute mischief and I found him hilarious 😁 "Gerda" and "Blackey" were amazing too 😍 they all were, but im digressing from the activity. We took a little walk to the lookout tower whilst other people were taking their turn on the cart/sled and as someone scared if heights i challenged myself to go up it! I got 3 sets of steps up and my legs went like Bambi so I failed, but I gave it a go 😅 see if you can go to the top! Hot drinks and gingerbread cookies are provided to keep warm and fed whilst we take our turn and they fully explain how to steer and speak to the dogs during. They also explain each dog's job and how they pick teams that can work together as not every dog can work with every dog and different dogs work better with others ("Iron" was an absolute little powerhouse, love him ❤️). I was a bit nervous about getting something wrong tbh (not that I would show it), but the staff are all really friendly and informative and I had nothing to worry about at all it was quite easy and it was just fun 😁. You have the opportunity to switch steering at the other end of the trail if you want, but my Mrs didn't want to drive so I did it the whole way. Gints also took videos of each of us arriving back to the start/finish line, which he kindly sent us! We finished off with a black balsam and we were taken back to our hotels. We got an unbelievable amount of photos, we had an amazing morning, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs!

Highly highly recommend! :) - What an amazing experience! Our expert guide Tomass made it such an enjoyable trip, with an informative drive to the forest, plenty of time to get to know the dogs and give them cuddles, with local drinks to try, and of course the main event was a very exciting ride with the huskies!! Afterwards we even went for a walk to a viewpoint to see the sights from very high up- all wonderful extras that we didn’t expect- it really was above and beyond!! The trip was so easy, with pickup right from our hotel, guidance with information and advice about places to visit and eat nearby, and Tomass made sure to take lots of photos and videos of us on our adventure to remember it all! Thank you!!

Riga dog sledding - We were collected by Gints from our accommodation in Riga. The journey time was a leisurely 40 minutes into the countryside, where we met up with the dogs. They were really friendly, well looked after, ready and eager to be harnessed up to the sleds. Being Spring, the snow had gone, so the sleds had wheels on, like an elongated trike! We took turns in being the Musher and the passenger. Great fun and afterwards had a walk out to a fire watch tower. Fantastic views from the top. The trip was well organised, fun and we got to see the beautiful forests.

Lovely experience - Took part in this activity for my birthday, which made it extra special. Tomass picked us up on time and gave us lots of history on Latvia, which was fab. The huskies are so well looked after, and were excited to see you and have cuddles. There was no rush and could take lots of pictures too. The recordings sent to us were so nice and was a memorable experience. Highly recommend this trip to fellow dog lovers ❤️.
