Lapland · HUSKY SAFARIS
The number that matters is kilometres, and the second is whether you drive. A two-kilometre passenger ride and a ten-kilometre self-drive team are different afternoons at similar prices. These 15 husky safaris are sorted by distance, price and how much of the sled is actually yours.

Rovaniemi Husky Adventure with Apukka Resort: meet friendly huskies, drive your own sled, 7-10 km ride, hot drink and winter gear.
“This was one of the most amazing experiences ever (I might be subjective as I adore dogs)! The organization and logistics were impeccable, on time, very structured and clear. The husky farm is amazing, people working there are really serious about their job and taking good care of the dogs, which is most important. The dog sledding experience was absolutely fantastic! The guides are happy to tell you all about the husky training and life (we asked a lot of questions) and are very kind and professional. The cherry on top was being able to cuddle the husky puppies and spend some time with them (cuteness overload). All in all,…”
Rovaniemi half-day Arctic combo with a 1-hour snowmobile safari, husky and reindeer sleigh rides, hot drinks, and a driving certificate.
“Leah and Georgina were fantastic guides and really tried hard to keep the tour on track. Our first stop was to the husky farm which gave us plenty on time to see the huskies in their kennels before a short ride. It only lasted about 5 minutes but great opportunity to do it if you don’t want to pay for the longer trips costing more money. The reindeer farm was next which is right next door and we had ample opportunity to feed the reindeer as well as a slow 10 minute (but great) sleigh ride. We then travelled about 15 minutes to get to the snow mobile park and…”

“Amazing day trip! Great to tick all the bucket list activities off in one day. The reviews said lots of waiting around but we didn’t find it too bad. Great to do the reindeer and husky’s away from Santa’s village at the actual reindeer and husky farm too it felt much more authentic than doing it at the village.”

“It was amazing. My children (3 and 5) loved it! The rides were magical and sitting by the fire was a nice warmer afterwards. A bit short perhaps but good for that age. The queuing for Santa took so long that we couldn’t do our transfer back, but got a bus easily enough.”

“Awesome!!! Since I' m 78, I was a little skeptical, but it was so much fun!! When I needed assistance exiting the sled, the guides were right there. Sitting around the fire to warm up and enjoying the BBQ in the teepee was and added bonus. Our guide was fantastic. Highlight of our trip.”
A short husky sled ride from Rovaniemi, plus time at a Lapland husky farm and a warm hut with hot drinks and cookies.
“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”
Rovaniemi husky farm visit with a cozy kennel hug session and a 1 km husky sleigh ride, plus pickup and winter gear included.
“The activity was ok, just the schedule has not been respected we had to wait for an extra hour and a half until everyone comes and we went by bus to the husky tour. The dogs are not all husky half of them are some mutations if not all of them and for the price paying it’s not worth it. If you decide to have a sledge ride is better to go for the reindeer ride which is in the santa claus village and costs only 140euros and the husky was 350 euros for not even a 5 min ride.”

Reindeer farm exam and 500m sleigh ride, then a 2 km husky sled in Rovaniemi, with hotel pickup and hot drinks.
“It was just ok. No reindeer rides because it is too early in the season, and I think this was common knowledge. I wish the advertising had been more accurate. The huskies were the highlight. They are the rides at the Santa village so you can do that yourself when you visit Santa. The driver/tour guide was friendly and very accommodating.”

Small-group husky mushing in Rovaniemi, with pickup, your own sled team to steer, a forest run, and a cozy kota snack after.
“Our husky sledding adventure was the highlight of our trip. The driver was punctual and delightful, ensuring a pleasant 45-minute journey from the city center to the farm. Upon arrival, we were provided with overalls to those who needed it; however, it’s essential to bring your own hats, scarves, face coverings, (we even had bought our ski goggles which was optional but useful). The huskies were incredibly friendly and energetic. First you ride with them for 30-40 mins (including a picture stop in between) then you get time to pet them after you get back. Operating the sleigh requires some physical strength, as the dogs are eager to run and…”
Every kind of Arctic day out, and the best of each.
