Premium Husky Safari in Rovaniemi

Book Your Experience

Begin your husky safari with a warm welcome at the kennel and an introduction to the dogs. After learning the essentials of safe sled handling, set off on an 8–10 km self-drive journey through snow-covered forests and peaceful Arctic landscapes. Each sled is shared by a driver and either another adult, an adult and a child, or children. The ride lasts approximately 40–45 minutes. Guests over 16 can take turns driving, switching halfway through the safari. Meet the huskies, take photographs, and enjoy the kennel visit. First-time mushers and families are welcome. Afterwards, gather by the fire for hot drinks and traditional grilled sausages. Warm winter overalls, snow boots, and return transfers are included for a comfortable day outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I drive the husky sled myself?

Yes. After a safety briefing and sled-handling instruction you drive your own sled for 8–10 km through snow-covered forest. Guests over 16 take turns driving and switch halfway, so both people in a pair get time on the runners.

How long is the husky sled ride?

The ride lasts approximately 40–45 minutes. The kennel visit, instruction and campfire are arranged around it, and return transfers from Rovaniemi are included.

Can children join a husky safari?

Yes. Each sled carries a driver together with another adult, an adult and a child, or children. Guests must be over 16 to drive, so younger children ride in the sled while an adult steers.

What should I wear on a husky safari?

Warm winter overalls and snow boots are included, so bring your own base layers, hat and gloves. Rovaniemi’s winter temperatures commonly sit between about −5 °C and −25 °C, and a moving sled makes wind the real factor, so thin warm layers underneath matter more than one heavy coat.

What happens at the kennel?

You meet the dogs, see how a team is harnessed and have time to photograph them. Afterwards everyone gathers by the fire for hot drinks and traditional grilled sausages.

Is this suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. First-time mushers and families are welcome, and the safety briefing and sled-handling instruction come before you take the reins.

Plan the rest of your trip

Most guests pair a husky safari with a reindeer farm visit and an evening Northern Lights tour. If you would rather have the whole stay planned around you, our tailor-made Lapland holidays bring the excursions, accommodation and private transfers into one itinerary.
