Great Ride - So much fun and a little scary when the dogs start veering off into the snow but as long as you follow instructions and have a tight grip on the sled, you will love it. The dogs are so cute and you get to play with them after the ride. You can choose to be a passenger or driver but you need to weigh enough to be able to stand on the brake to slow the dogs down as they’re always trying to pass the other dogs. After the ride one of the dogs was nuzzling with me and it was a great experience to talk to the owner and ask questions.

Best experience of our Finland trip! - For me, the dog sledding tour was the most beautiful experience of our trip and simply unforgettable! Our guide was very friendly and entertained us well on the way to the farm. There we were surprised a bit by the fact that we were allowed to drive the sled ourselves in turns and then we started: The dogs were very friendly even before the ride and have put on a good gas! It went a beautiful long distance through wonderful winter landscapes, whether snowy forest or snow-glittering vastness. Afterwards the dogs were allowed to pick up their extensive cuddle sessions and we got sausages (also vegan), cookies and warm tea. On the farm there was also the possibility to feed reindeer and enough time for photos.

Great husky sledding experience - A great husky ride at a small husky farm 1.5hrs from Rovaniemi with a sausage lunch at the end in a cabin with a fire. Our driver was great and picked us up from our accommodation. The trip was no more than 8 people as advertised. The route was beautiful (part forest and part lake with amazing water bulges). We booked this trip last minute when another was cancelled due to warm weather/snow. So glad to have been able to do this trip and would recommend based on our experience.

Funny - An unforgettable experience in Rovaniemi! The 3-hour husky sled ride was magical: gliding through snowy landscapes, surrounded by Arctic nature, is a memory I’ll cherish forever. The guides were incredibly kind, passionately explaining the training of the huskies and offering us warm tea and berry juice during a cozy break. The huskies, full of energy and love for their work, made the adventure even more special. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Lapland!

Amazing 8-10km husky experience - We all did the 8-10km husky experience and thought this was spectacular and fantastic value for money from start to finish. When we arrived the lady explained everything about mushing, we then went for our ride through the forest which was amazing and we even saw wild reindeer! When we arrived back we had hot berry juice and a cinnamon cake around an open fire and chatted to the owner about the dogs, finding out some very interesting facts. We also got to meet the puppies and hold them, such a wonderful amazing experience and we would highly recommend this. Thank you

Disappointing, last minute cancellation - Our activity was cancelled at short notice (less than 48h before the start). Due to the last minute cancellation we could not book an alternative anywhere else (all booked up). I would definitely not book with this provider anymore!
