★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 17 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $229

Self-drive a 5 km husky sled through Sea Lapland, then warm up with hot drinks and time to meet Alaskan huskies in Kemi-Tornio.

“This is the one! Stop looking, nothing else will beat this experience. I went with my partner, my parents (65 and 73 years old) and my children (4 and 9 years old) and we all had the most magical experience. Damo is authentic, passionate, kind and informative. The dogs are his children and the love and care he provides them is evident. The husky ride itself was obviously the highlight- the feeling and the view will forever be ingrained in my mind. But it didn’t stop there- the hot drink was a great way to warm up and the hot donuts were enjoyed by all. My son went back out…”

8.Night Safari on Snowmobiles

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 2 hours · from $176

Kemi night snowmobile safari over the frozen Bothnian Bay with warm gear, campfire hot drinks, and a real shot at northern lights.

“Despite the instructor being very friendly and professional throughout the experience, this tour was not what was advertised. We booked this night snowmobile tour because it was described as being partly in the forest and partly on the frozen sea. However, the tour took place almost entirely on the open sea, riding in circles around the same area for most of the time. There was no forest riding at all. The scenery was very monotonous and, being fully exposed at night, it was much colder and windier than it would have been in the forest. When we asked about riding through the trees, we were told it wasn’t possible because…”
