Take the reins on an unforgettable Arctic adventure with our Arctic Afternoon Husky Safari in Rovaniemi. Over four exhilarating hours, you’ll don premium thermal winter gear before a scenic transfer through snow-blanketed forests to our husky farm. After a fun, hands-on sledding lesson, guide your own team of eager huskies along a thrilling 10 km loop—then swap driver roles midway for double the excitement.
While half the group embarks on the ride, the other half cozies up in a traditional Lappish kota, sipping hot berry juice and gingerbread as you learn the secrets of husky care from our friendly local guides. Once everyone’s back behind the sleds, reunite for a meet-and-greet session where you can pet, photograph and hear heartwarming stories about each dog.
Ideal for families (ages 3+), couples or solo explorers, this small-group experience combines pulse-quickening fun with authentic Arctic hospitality. Whether you’re hunting the Northern Lights or simply craving pure winter magic, this safari promises memories (and photos!) you’ll cherish long after the snow has melted.
