The experience was great - really enjoyed the husky ride. Everything was well organised (bus transfers on time, etc) and our guide was very friendly and providing good guidance. We drove 7 km and it felt short because it was so much fun!

It was great. Very cold which was expected but the suits, boots and gloves we were given saved us. Great guides, really taking the time to explain things. Great dogs too, very friendly. Would absolutly do it again

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.

An absolutely amazing experience, myself and my mum loved every second in February and didn’t want the ride or cuddles with the husky’s to ever end! Highly Recommend. The 2nd best part is how much love the staff have for these animals.
