Husky Safari in Wilderness – BBQ & 6–10 km Self-Drive Adventure
Provided by A Day In Lapland
Your journey begins at the pick-up point, where you will meet your guide and join the transfer into the snowy wilderness. After arrival at the husky farm, warm winter clothing will be provided to keep you comfortable throughout the adventure.
Your local guide leads you to the eager huskies, gives clear driving instructions, and introduces you to your own team. Once ready, you’ll set off on a 6–10 km husky safari through pure white landscapes. Two guests share each sled—one drives, one rides—and you can switch halfway. During the short stop there is also time for photos before continuing the ride. The safari lasts around 30–50 minutes, depending on snow conditions and the dogs’ pace.
After the adventure, you’ll have time to meet the huskies more closely—they love attention, cuddles, and photos. Finally, step inside a warm kota by the fire, enjoy hot drinks, grill sausages, and taste festive Christmas cookies while sharing stories with your guide as the dogs rest outside.
This is an authentic small-group experience led by local guides, where the bond between people, dogs, and wilderness creates unforgettable memories.

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.
