Overview

Engholm's Husky design Lodge is situated next to Karasjohka river, 6 km outside of Karasjok. The designed log houses here at the lodge were built by Sven himself and has a special charm. Sven has made all the interior furnishing and decoration in order to create a unique and personal atmosphere in each house. Interesting "dogmusher library". The wood heated sauna is cosy, it has separate room for relaxing and our outdoor hot tub is very popular. The ‘Barta' – a special turf covered log house where we gather around the open fire sitting on reindeer furs with special food and good drinks. We are licensed for food and beverage. – and the ‘Barta' is frequently used for  a "different" social events. Our farm consists of 40-50 highly trained sled dogs for long-distance racing and tours. Conditions are very good for fishing salmon, and grayling in Karasjok river (200m). Char, trout  and pike in the lakes nearby.

Come alone or bring your family, friends, partners, your special guests, your board or leader group. a course, seminar, leaders meeting, incentive tour.

STENBUKT FISH LODGE (Stonebay) is located in a remote bay right on the edge of the Arctic Ocean - no trees - no road, - no neighbours. The cosy and charming house makes you feel at home. A place to get away from it all. From the living room there is a fantastic view looking straight north into the midnight sun. Sound and smell of the sea - just birds, whales, seals, otters and lots of fish in the sea and in the lakes around. For fishing is this place a "eldorado", cod fishing at sea, trout fishing in the lakes or salmon fishing in the river near by. There is a motorboat for your disposal.

A beautiful place for all seasons, both summer, autumn and winter. In the summer a good setting for making day excursions in the area, whether it be to Hammerfest, to North Cape or out to explore the nearby islands or just walking in the mountains. In the winter a good setting for making winter activities as skiing, snow shoeing, ice-fishing and dog sledding. There are three bedrooms 7 - 10 beds, large sitting room, sauna and a big terrace around the house.

This winter we are offering tours to Stenbukt by dog team and during summer it is also available for fishing groups. Self service or alternativ with full board and lodge incl. guide / house keeper.

My Husky tours are ideal winter holidays for those who love wild and unspoilt places and adventure. The tour are designed to be suitable for experienced mushers and for first-timers. The safaris vary in their physical demands. On our tours are we depended just upon ourselves, not upon snow machines, ATV or any other remedies. We try to make it as intimate as possible to ride a dogsled.  Our experience is that this is the only way to connect human, dog and nature to one whole.

Most participants are rather adventurous people who relish the chance to learn new skills and like to live life to the fullest. Neither age nor gender are barriers - all have equal qualifications for handling the dogsleds. Technique which will be taught to all participants and not physical fitness is a requirement for enjoying dog mushing. A reasonable level of fitness, concentration and a sense of balance are the key attributes needed.

It is not required to be a passionate dog-lover to gain respect and admiration for these hard working dogs and their qualities. The guides spend time teaching those new to the sport. As all ‘repeaters’ who come back to "mush" the dogs verify; the dogs really do become your best friends.

In addition to the adventures detailed on this website, we design and organize many exclusive adventurous holidays for individual travellers and small groups that matches the client's specification.

Every so often we are asked to design a Special tour or events, which we are happy to do. Typically these safaris are designed for a family who want a trip-of-a-lifetime, or a group of friends with special wishes. We organize many special events such as week-end breaks, corporate teambuilding courses, charity challenges and incentives tours.

If you don't wish to join a group tour on fix date - an option is to go on an private tour, alone, or with friends for an additional fee.  1 pers. + 100%.  2 pers. + 50%.  3 pers. + 20%.  4 or more - same price as group tour on fix date. Private tours are always possible to carry out in addition to our regular program. Just let me know when you like to come. We guarantee departure on all fix date group tours - no minimum number participants.

Nature & Kind Factor

Our Trusted Partner's Responsible and Sustainable Travel Policy

I had a longing within me for untouched nature. Based upon my own feelings for the area - the exotic light, the darkness and the great plateau - I developed a product which is now bearing fruit. I built up to what we have today which has, with the years, become the success I had hoped for when I started.

We give unique nature based experiences founded on knowledge and a gentle and sustainable use of the environment and working hard to reduce the environmental footprint. It is important for us to use the environment on it's own terms. We wish to leave as few traces as possible and as far as possible avoid wearing on the environment we enjoy.

We cater for smaller groups. A small group leaves fewer traces and allowing for more interaction between the client and the guide. We avoid assistance from snow mobiles. All equipment is on the dog sleds. We have a proven passion for serving local and organic food and using our business to make significant contributions to the local sami community.
