About this experience
Looking for an unforgettable adventure in the winter wonderland of Lapland? Look no further than our Husky Safari Tour!
Our commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences is deeply rooted in our history, as one of the owners proudly represents the 20th generation of their family in Lapland, Finland, with roots stretching back to the 1600s.
Our tour takes you on a thrilling journey through the breathtaking scenery of Finland's arctic wilderness, as you ride a team of friendly and energetic huskies through the snow-covered forests and across frozen lakes. You'll feel the wind on your face and hear the crunch of snow beneath the sled as you glide through the quiet, pristine landscape.
But this isn't just any old sled ride - our huskies are more than just transportation. They're our furry companions and partners in adventure. And with our photographer on hand, you'll have the opportunity to capture stunning images, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
