A hands-on husky safari in Rovaniemi with a 10km sled ride, snowmobile driving practice, and cozy farm snacks in Lapland snow.
“Literally a once in a lifetime dream experience!! 😍 If you’re up in this area, it’s an absolute must. The transport was so easy, the guides were very knowledgable, and the dogs were SO sweet. And the arctic views?? Wow, it truly felt like we were living in a movie! Just be prepared - it WILL be cold! The tour company provided snow suits, which were fantastic. But we still had icicles forming on our eyelashes. 😂 If you’re driving the sled, our hands and fingers went totally numb - so bring the warmest gloves you can find! Also, this is probably not the best activity for young children -…”

“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”
Self-drive a husky sled through Lapland forest near Rovaniemi. 4–5 km ride, hot drink, thermal gear, and plenty of dog time.
“The husky trip was amazing. It was set in a beautiful forest setting, which feels magical and away from the rest of the world. The self drive was amazing and the guides were very nice and helpful. After the ride we got to send time with the husky, who were extremely friendly and loveable (my daughter wanted to take them home). We then went into a little wooden hut where the guide lit a fire and we had a hot Berry drink and gingerbread cookies. Then we had a little free time before going into the cafe for a warm. Two very small negatives were that the wait for the…”
