“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,…”

Review of Rovaniemi’s 10km husky safari, with sled-driving tips, costs, cold-weather advice, farm details, and honest pros and cons.
“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…”
