Husky Safari into the Arctic Wilderness
Leave the busy city behind and experience the peaceful wilderness of Lapland on an authentic husky safari through snow-covered forests and quiet countryside.
Your adventure begins with a transfer to our safari house, located away from the crowds in the peaceful countryside of Lapland. Upon arrival, you will be provided with warm winter clothing before your guide introduces you to the huskies and prepares you for the adventure ahead.
Then it is time to head into the wilderness. Enjoy approximately 45–60 minutes of husky sledding through snow-covered forests and beautiful Arctic landscapes. With small groups and peaceful surroundings, you can experience the nature of Lapland without the crowds of mass tourism.
Around halfway through the husky safari, we stop at a traditional Finnish kota surrounded by nature. Warm up by the fire while enjoying a hot drink and a small snack before continuing the journey with the huskies.
After the break, the huskies take you through the snowy landscape back to our safari house.
Once you return, there is still more to experience. Meet our friendly reindeer and have the opportunity to feed them before getting ready for the journey back.
This experience is more than just a husky ride. It combines huskies, reindeer, peaceful countryside and the true Arctic wilderness into one authentic Lapland adventure, experienced in a small group far away from the crowds.

Frequently asked questions
Need more help? Check these FAQs or contact us via, email or phone.
Contact usWill we see the northern lights?
Nature decides. We monitor forecasts and take you far from light pollution to improve the odds. The night tour is magical even without aurora.
Can we get photos with Santa?
Our guide can help with your phone photos; professional photos are available on request (included on the private tour).
Can our 3-year-old join the sleigh tour?
Yes. Sleigh tours are calm and cozy with reindeer hides; little ones can sit on a parent’s lap.
Can we book a private tour?
Absolutely. Any tour can be made private, and we offer a dedicated Private Evening with Santa experience.
What is the Electric Reindeer?
Electric Reindeer is our name for an electric sled (model e-Scort Comfort, made by eDream, Finland). It’s near-silent and fume-free — you drive it on guide-led trails.
Do I need a driver’s license to drive the Electric Reindeer?
No license is required. The minimum age to drive is 15 on our guided trails. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. For safety, the guide may decide that a guest rides in the sleigh instead. Under-15s are welcome on our sleigh rides.
