Getting to sled with the dogs is such a cool experience! They are so very excited, they also give you the option to steer the dogs which is a unique experience. Also afterwards you can pet some of the dogs! They told us about some of the dogs as well and even mentioned they had a rescue dog there. She was one of the dogs on my sled and while shy she is very cute!

Full description

Meet and mush with your new howling, furry friends on this safari adventure. Huskies are one of the most beloved animals of the North, and you’ll understand why as soon as you meet the pack. Pet them, pose with them for photos, and listen to stories about their lives.   Then, take a 7- to 10-kilometer long husky sled ride, where you get to be the musher yourself. This means you can control the pack of huskies towing the sled.

The dogs absolutely love pulling loads and running on the trail across the forests. Feel the thrill of the ride and the cool wind on your face as you tear through the forests.   Finish off with a hot drink before saying goodbye to your new friends.

This experience was the highlight of our trip and I couldn't recommend it enough. They clearly take amazing care of the huskies and it was a small group tour which made it easy to chat with the guide. There is plenty of time to hang out with the huskies afterwards
