Us & the dogs

Espen Prestbakmo - Guide, entrepreneur & manager
Espen is a true mountain man, born and raised in northern Norway, with a lifelong passion for dogs and the Arctic wilderness. For over 35 years, he has bred and worked with Alaskan huskies, guided countless tours, and completed the legendary Finnmarksløpet — Europe’s longest sled dog race — five times. Espen feels most at home in the mountains, exploring the wildest corners of the region, and he has a unique gift for making dogsledding feel safe, easy, and enjoyable for everyone who joins him on the trail.

Delphine Garcin - Guide, entrepreneur & manager
Delphine is a passionate skipper and sailor who once lived in the High Arctic on Spitsbergen. She has crossed the Barents Sea more than a dozen times on all kinds of vessels and feels completely at home at sea. With her experience and love for exploration, you are in good hands as she guides you through the Lyngen, Kvænangen, and Loppa areas — ensuring your Arctic journey is safe, memorable, and truly unique.

Isabella Lorenzen - Guide
Isabella is trained in dogsledding at Pasvik Folkehøgskole in Finnmark. She originally comes from Greenland, where she graduated in Arctic Engineering - and even had her own dog team. No need to say : the arctic, the snow, and the dogs are truly in her DNA! Always smiling and full of energy, Isabella loves sharing the best of winter life with guests — and just like us, you’re sure to love her too!

Wannes Buytaert - Guide
Wannes is originally from Belgium, but Norway — and the huskies — have clearly stolen a piece of his heart. Trained in carpentry, a skill that comes in handy on a northern Norwegian farm, Wannes followed his passion for the outdoors and made the Arctic his second home. He loves guiding guests on dogsledding, snowshoeing, or ice-fishing adventures, always sharing his enthusiasm and ensuring everyone has an unforgettable time — with plenty of laughs along the way!
The real stars of the show : the dogs!

Turbo. Born 2016 - one of our most trustworthy lead-dogs, he is very good looking AND professional - and he knows it!

Viktor. Born 2010 - he is the retired dog walking loose on the farm, living together with the cat, turning 15 this year, ran a few long-distance races, dad and grand-dad to most of our dogs!

Pus. Born 2017 - one of the few dogs that is not born at us, but had a chance to reveal himself and become an amazing, loyal and trustworthy lead-dog. Not the most cuddly dog, but we have big feelings for him!

Sjokkies. Born 2017 - an excellent lead-dog, and a beautiful and cuddly female, she easily catches the heart of many of our visitors!

Kvitnos. Born 2017 - meaning "white nose" in Norwegian, main lead dog, don't tell her she is Delphine's favorite!

Nero. Born 2017 - small and shy male, previous lead-dog currently looking for an adoptive family to give him a well deserved retirement!
