Drive your own husky sled through snowy Lapland, meet friendly dogs, and warm up with berry drink at Apukka Resort near Rovaniemi.
“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,…”

“The Husky ride was a great experience. We were picked up on time and instructed on driving and travelling the sled. I was not expecting to be driving the dog sled and had so much fun doing this. It was a work out balancing and operating the break. We followed tracks through the trees and across a frozen lake. After the ride we petted our dogs then went inside to a warm room for hot blueberry juice and to learn more about the dogs. The husky farm look after there dogs very well. Highly recommend this trip.”

“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…”

“Wasn’t good like we expected. Quality of sleighs was really poor comparing to others we faced around. Husky ride was in Santa’s Village and was very touristic. We were expecting to have it somewhere close to forrest. They should have chosen another spot for such tour as we could already experience that one during our visit to Santa’s Village. Info abt the huskies was not satisfactory. Only good point was the shuttle driver. He was very helpful, informative and friendly. Overall, I do not recommend this tour.”

“The team was super responsive, Aurora was a fantastic guide. I had my two elderly parents with me and she was very kind about going at a slightly slower pace on the snow for them and making recommendations about everything. The Husky and Reindeer rides might seem "short," but it's the same no matter the company you use and considering our day started at -30°C and warmed up to -21°C they were great lengths. I would recommend talking to the company about renting snowsuits if you don't bring yours. They are reasonably priced. Aurora really made the experience better when we went chasing the northern lights. They pick up from…”

“Wow!! This was INCREDIBLE!!! We absolutely loved this and it was the highlight of our trip. We’re on a budget, but this was still well worth the money spent. The best thing about this ride is that you are truly out in the wilderness, nothing else around. Snow was high, even in April, so you felt like you were driving down a snow tunnel. The guides were great giving info on the dogs and also took amazing photos of us. The length felt just right. You get to drive for half, then swap with your partner and sit in the sleigh. Just as you’re getting cold and the thrill has…”
Pick a fell, a dog team or a hole in the ice.
