DESCRIPTION

Set away from Rovaniemi, deep in the Lapland wilderness, this family-run kennel offers a truly private and authentic husky experience surrounded by snowy landscapes. After pickup and being dressed in warm gear, you’ll head into the forest where friendly dogs and passionate mushers will welcome you. You’ll receive simple driving instructions before meeting your own husky team.

Then it’s time to set off on a 6–10 km sled ride through the wilderness, lasting around 30–50 minutes depending on the snow and the dogs’ pace. Two people share a sled-one driving, one riding-and you can switch halfway, so both get the full experience.
After the ride, take time to relax with the dogs, they love attention, cuddles, and photos.

You can also warm up by the fire and chat with the mushers, who are happy to share their knowledge and stories. Most sled dogs in Lapland are Alaskan huskies, a mixed breed known for their energy and love of running.
Unlike Siberian huskies, they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors – each one unique, but all equally friendly and eager to go.

The experience is always private and the price applies to the entire group. The minimum age is 4 years old. 

Family rate: this rate applies to a group of up to 4 participants, including at least one adult and one child (aged 4 to 12 years old). It is offered considering that the excursion is carried out in an SUV-type vehicle (5 seats) rather than a minivan.

The mentioned duration of the safari is only indicative; the experience may last longer or shorter, depending on snow conditions or the animal’s good willing.

This tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers, for people with heart conditions or with limited mobility. 

Only adults (18+) are allowed to drive the huskies during the safari. This rule is in place to protect both the participants and the animals involved.
It is ultimately up to the mushers to dispatch the participants in the sleighs to maximize performance and ensure a smooth sled ride. Their decision should be respected and trusted as they know what is best for their dogs.

Meeting Time & Pick up : Note that the pick up time is for information purpose; thus, the exact pick up time will be communicated to you via email the day before the experience. We offer the pick up and drop off service in a 8km range from the city center which includes for example Ounasvaara and Santa Claus Village. For ecological and logistical reasons don’t do pick up and drop off service for accommodations located less than 750 meters from our office in the city center (Jaakonkatu 4-6, 96200 Rovaniemi). Airport transfers or transfers from more than 8km from the city center may be arranged upon request at extra cost.
Preparation before the tour: We recommend that you eat well before the experience, and dress properly according to the weather conditions. In case of any questions, you might find your answer in our FAQ (Click here).

FAQ – HUSKY ADVENTURES

Do not delete
Is it difficult to drive a dog sled, especially for a beginner?

Not at all! Driving the sled is accessible even for beginners. Our guides will provide full instructions and accompany you throughout the ride to ensure your comfort and safety. Usually, there are two people per sled: one driving and one as a passenger. You can (but don’t have to) switch roles halfway through the safari.

Is the husky sled (cart) experience possible in summer?

The husky sled (cart) experience is not available during summer, as it can be too warm for the dogs to run safely.

We usually start husky cart rides from October, or late September if the weather permits, when temperatures are cool enough to ensure the well-being of the huskies. However, during the summer months, you can still visit the husky kennel, meet the dogs, and learn more about their life, care, and training.
