Detailed itinerary
1
A guide will pick you up from your accommodation in the morning. At first, you will get all the winter equipment like overalls, shoes and gloves from the office to make you feel comfortable when outside. After that, you will take a drive to the husky farm, where you will meet more than 100 Alaskan huskies! At the farm, the guide will first tell you all about driving the husky sledge – you will be the driver by yourself! Sharing a sledge with your partner, one of you will be the driver and other will be a passenger. During the tour you will make stops to take some pictures and at the same time you can also switch drivers. This tour is suitable also for families with children but be aware that young children can’t be alone as a passenger at the sledge. Total driving distance is between 15 and 18 kilometres. When you are back from your unforgettable ride, it is time to thank your husky team and then the guide will drive you back to your accommodation.
