Winter activities · Rovaniemi, Finland
This tour is about connection, not performance. With just six sleds per group, we keep things personal: no herding guests through a queue or treating the dogs like photo props.
You will actually get time to talk with the handlers, learn how the dogs are trained, and understand why they work best with their own mushers. Yes, you will drive a sled, but you will also drink something warm in a cozy kota while chatting about life in the north. It is not trying to be a fantasy, it is the real rhythm of a husky morning in Lapland.
Want a longer drive? The Arctic Husky Safari – 10 km gives you twice the distance on the runners.
Just six sleds per group, so you can talk with the handlers, learn how the dogs are trained, and meet the huskies properly.
Drive your own husky team through pristine Arctic wilderness, with a chance to switch drivers halfway.
Enjoy warm drinks, biscuits, and conversation in a cozy traditional Lappish hut.
A friendly, bilingual guide makes the experience easy for English and Spanish-speaking guests.
Please arrive directly at the husky tour meeting point at Korkalonkatu 36, Rovaniemi. No pickup is provided for the husky tour.
At the meeting point, you will receive high-quality winter gear to keep you warm throughout the adventure. This includes boots, insulated jackets and pants, and gloves. You are welcome to wear your own layers underneath for extra comfort.
Sit back and enjoy the Arctic landscapes as we drive to the husky farm. Your guide will share insights about local life, huskies, and what to expect on arrival.
The group is split into two: one half begins with a short sled-driving lesson before heading off on the husky safari (5 km, about 10 to 15 min). Each sled fits two adults and one to two small children, and you can switch drivers at the halfway point. The other half heads into a cozy kota for warm drinks, biscuits, and an introduction to huskies and life with them. After the first group finishes, the groups switch places.
After the rides, everyone gets a chance to meet, pet, and take photos with the friendly huskies. This is a perfect moment to bond with the dogs and capture memories.
Relax during the return transfer to Rovaniemi. Drop-off is available at your accommodation or back at the meeting point, depending on your preference.
At the husky tour meeting point, Korkalonkatu 36 in central Rovaniemi. There is no hotel pickup for this tour, so please make your own way to the meeting point. Drop-off afterwards is at your accommodation or back at the meeting point, as you prefer.
The trail is 5 km, about 10 to 15 minutes of driving, with a driver change at the halfway point. The whole experience lasts about 5 hours including the transfer, dressing up, the warm break in the kota and time with the dogs.
Two adults and one or two small children. Six sleds go out per group, which keeps the safari personal and gives everyone time with the handlers and the huskies.

Departures are between 09:00 and 14:00. The guide speaks English and Spanish.
