Question 2

How many other participants will be on the tour?

Accepted Answer

This is a private experience for groups of up to 8 participants, so the guide will be dedicated exclusively to your party.

At Nordic Odyssey, we deliberately keep our groups small and stay away from mass tourism. Even during peak season, we do not increase group sizes beyond our small-group philosophy.

Outside the busiest periods, the group may be smaller than the stated maximum. In some cases, your party may even be the only participants, making the experience effectively private.

A small tour group does not necessarily mean that every place visited will be private. Farms, museums and other public attractions may also welcome other visitors, especially during peak season.

If your party is larger than 8 participants, please contact us. We may be able to arrange a private option for a larger group.

Question 6

Is the husky safari ethical, and how is animal welfare protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nordic Odyssey works with a local kennel partner experienced in caring for and training working sled dogs. Most are Alaskan huskies—athletic dogs with a strong natural motivation to run, for whom regular exercise is an important part of their well-being. After the safari, you can meet the huskies and speak directly with the mushers about their training, individual personalities and everyday care.

Question 7

Is driving a husky sled difficult for a beginner?

Accepted Answer

No previous experience is required. Before the safari, the mushers provide complete driving and safety instructions and introduce you to your dog team. A guide accompanies the experience, and participants can choose whether to switch between driving and travelling as a passenger during the safari.

Question 8

Can children participate in the husky safari?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children aged four and older may participate when accompanied by an adult. Only adults aged 18 and over may drive the husky sled , while children travel as passengers.
