Arctic Quest

Husky rides have come to the UK at Croft Farm, Tewkesbury

Now you don’t have to travel to Alaska to enjoy the thrills of working with these amazing sled dogs. Situated in the river Avon valley, enjoy the picturesque trails on the ride of a lifetime. Arctic Quest offers one of the most exciting, exhilarating and memorable animal experiences possible.

To fully capitalise on your experience you can choose to stay in our traditional Sami Tipi or Herder’s Hut, which comes complete with campfire, hides, furs and beds and is the perfect way to top off your adventure. And for the real hardcore out there – you can stay in winter too. Please check out the Tipi/Herder’s Hut page for full details and booking forms.

This is not a sit on look at the scenery type of ride, we train you to run the dogs yourselves, we are the only company in the UK, which will let you ride a racing rig with a team of huskies as your lead. You will be expected to get fully invloved with the dogs and spend as much hands on time with them as you like. Even when relaxing over the campfire with a brew the team will still expect some attention and cuddles.

Please be aware we do get very busy especially at weekends. Try and plan your adventure well in advance to make sure we can fit you in. Please call or email to check availablity and make a booking. We can’t always take your calls as we may be out working the team, but leave us a message and we will get back to you. Alternatively you can catch all the latest about the team on facebook or give us a tweet on twitter.

We don’t think there’s a much more environmentally way to travel than dog sledding, but we still like to do our bit.Our campfires are made using recyled sawdust briquettes, which are a 100% renewable biomass fuel, and are carbon neutral to the atmosphere, and paper bricks, which we make ourselves from old shredded newspapers.

We recycle glass, paper, cans, plastic, cardboard and used printer cartridges

To reduce packaging waste, we buy in bulk and use refills when possible

Where appropriate, we purchase recycled products

We conduct our business by e-mail and telephone as much as we can to minimise paper use.

We get meat off cuts for the dogs from our local supermarket and our campfire  meals are from sustainably farmed small holdings.

Did you know dog waste goes to land fill? So we’ve invested in a dog poo converter (worm farm) complete with around 1500 worms. These wiggly guys will munch through the waste and eventually turn it into garden manure- cool heh! That is a committment to recycling!!
