Types of Husky Safaris in Lapland

From kennel-visit intro rides to 7-day wilderness expeditions: seven safari formats with price ranges, distances, difficulty and who each one suits.

From a quick 2 km introduction to a 7-day wilderness expedition, there is a perfect husky safari for every traveller, every age, and every budget.

The perfect first taste of dog sledding. Meet the huskies, cuddle puppies, then enjoy a short ride as a passenger or on the runners. Ideal for families with very young children or those with limited time.

Families with babies, first-timers, cruise passengers

Drive your own sled through frozen forests and along quiet lakes. Learn the basics of mushing, braking, steering, and reading your dog team. The most popular option for first-time visitors.

Venture deeper into the wilderness. Cross frozen rivers, weave through old-growth forests, and stop for warm drinks by a campfire in a traditional Lappish hut. The bond with your dogs deepens on a longer trail.

Adventure seekers, couples, families with teens

A full day in the Arctic wild. Hot lunch cooked over an open fire in a traditional wilderness hut. Cover vast distances across fells, through spruce forests and frozen marshlands. An unforgettable journey.

Active travellers, photography enthusiasts

The ultimate Arctic adventure. Sleep in wilderness cabins, care for your own team each morning and evening, and travel through untouched landscapes far from civilisation. This is the real Lapland.

Serious adventurers, bucket-list experiences

An evening husky safari combined with aurora hunting. Glide silently through dark forests under a star-filled sky, with headlamps illuminating the trail. If the Northern Lights appear, the experience is magical.

Tailored for photographers with frequent stops at scenic viewpoints, slower pace, and a guide who knows the best light. Morning golden hour and twilight sessions available. Tripod and camera tips included.
