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.”

Review of Rovaniemi’s 4.5-hour snowmobile and ice-fishing tour, with frozen-lake scenery, campfire food, costs, tips, and family advice.
“Very nice "just enough" fun trip. Beautiful landscape, snowmobile and fishing. Fishing and barbeque is about one hour, it was windy on the lake so it was the right amount of time to make a hole in the ice, to catch a fish, to eat a sausage and move while you not too cold or bored ( if you not a fishing fun 😊). Snowmobiling is 45-60 min one way depends on your speed ( it was possible in some parts of the road to go up to 45-50 km/h) . Very nice guide and organization.”
