Husky sledding is a great experience

5.00To drive a sled you need some level of upper body strength. It was really fun & visiting the kennels was a highlight with the puppies. All the adult dogs were so friendly too. Loved the experience!
Beautiful

5.00Amazing experience, we went with Kami who was so friendly and informative. This tour is not like the ‘mass tourist’ husky trips you find around Rovaniemi. You will go an hour out to a farm and meet lots of beautiful husky’s taken well care of, the place was clean and the husky’s were very happy and welcoming. The 10km sled ride was excellent, self driven, you just manage the breaks and the husky’s take care of speed and direction, they all seemed happy and well cared for. Highly recommend for those looking for a meaningful sled experience.
Most amazing experience!

5.00This was the most incredible experience and the highlight of our Lapland trip. Staff were all wonderful and the huskies were clearly well loved and cared for. We even got to see the husky puppies which was very special! First, Dimitar arrived to drive us to the kennels. He was kind, polite and easy to talk to. Next we were taught how to drive the sleigh and what to do. We then had a thrilling 10km ride around the forest. It was the most amazing experience and huskies were all beautiful!
Perfect, seamless, professional experience

5.00We had an incredible experience booking our Husky Tour. We had transport directly from our Airbnb to the kennel - Soulmate Kennels - near the Finnish border. The driver was friendly and talkative. The kennel itself was amazing. The dogs looked healthy and the scenery - oh, my, god. Endless taiga forests covered in snow and blue sky above with sunshine peeking through. The husky slushing itself is hard work - I much preferred being in the sleigh! The transport back was flexible and the driver was willing to drop us at Santa’s Village, despite this not expressly being included in the booking. We HIGHLY recommend this tour company.
Really fun and wholesome

Wow!

5.00An unforgettable experience, wow! The huskies are very happy to run, well cared for and energetic. The taiga forest is simply beautiful, and we had a blast riding through it. After the ride it was nice to warm up by the campfire with a warm cup of tea. Many thanks to our great guide, Kristian, who noticed we were not dressed up warm enough and offered us extra (much needed) clothing! Also, he stopped on the way back to show us a beautiful frozen lake. Would 100% recommend.
Amazing experience

5.00This is without doubt one of the best experiences of my life. These husky’s were born to run and they absolutely love it. Initially I was worried about their welfare and how they were treated but my mind was instantly put at ease. It was thrilling, exciting and throughly enjoyable and I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
