    Excursion was fun and well organized. The husky farm was well maintained and dogs appeared healthy. And to be clear, this is a husky FARM. The dogs are raised to be used on the farm as part of five dog teams to pull the two person sleds. That is the business. The dogs did a great job of pulling us across a beautiful 6km or so loop trail which covered woodland and a lake. My daugher and I really enjoyed it. I do recommend it.

    What a great experience to drive the huskies yourself. What energy these dogs have and how much they like it! You drive a grand tour of a maximum of forty-five minutes. You can switch drivers halfway through. The trip itself took less time than we expected. to an hour. That's a bit of a shame. We had thought and hoped that it would take longer. Nevertheless a great experience!

    It was an amaaazing experience! The farm was far out of Rovaniemi, our guide gave us the lift there. Scenery was magic through the forest and having the sunrise in the horizon! The tutor was friendly and helpful through the ride as we were riding our own sledge! Overall fun and very much recommended!
