An unforgettable stay with an amazing team! Highly recommended and can't wait to return! - We had an unforgettable experience that we would recommend to anyone. The husky tour was amazing - helping to harness the dogs and then taking a ride through stunning scenery in the evening sun. Naomi, our fantastic guide, shared many insights into the huskies and dog sledding. After the tour we enjoyed a delicious meal together with the whole team which rounded off the tour perfectly.
Naomi, Ben and the whole team are incredibly warm and kind, and their love and care for the dogs really stood out. In the evening we had the chance to relax in a beautiful sauna with an incredible view of the frozen lake. David, one of the helpers, took great care of us—he lit the fire in the sauna and explained everything with a smile.
After the sauna we stayed in our camper for the night and immediately felt super safe, comfortable and welcome. When the heater in our camper broke down during the night, the team took great care of us and allowed us to sleep in a warm and cosy cabin.
We were also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, which made our stay even more magical. Before we left we were given fantastic recommendations for our following travel route.
Every moment has been wonderful. Staying at Oatfields Huskies was the absolute highlight of our trip and we can't wait to return. Thanks for the amazing time!
Highly recommended!

Memorable memories with family - Superb excursion with my children of 2 and 4 years and my godson! Ben Naomi and his team as well as their dogs were very caring for everyone ... we will keep incredible memories in the middle of a dantesque nature. And what about the moment shared together around the fire and delicious stews

Super family husky sleigh ride 🫶 - A mega beautiful and impressive experience. The dogs are super trusting and are obviously treated lovingly. The mood is super relaxed and you learn a lot about the dogs if you want to. A very clear recommendation! Good luck with the next race 🍀

Had a great tour! - We had a fantastic Husky Sledding Tour. Ben, Naomi and of course the rest of the help at Oatfield Huskies are very enthusiastic and talk about the dogs with great pleasure during the tour so you immediately notice that they only want the very best for the huskies. Afterwards delicious hot food and drinks received in the grill hut. Super experience had, definitely come back for other activities if we are ever around again!

An unforgettable adventure in Lapland – perfect down to the smallest detail! - Our husky sleigh tour with Naomi was simply magical – an experience we will never forget! From the first minute we felt welcome and in good hands.
Top equipment for icy temperatures
Already on arrival we were equipped with first-class equipment that kept us warm even in crisp -16°C. The snowshoes were the softest and warmest we have ever worn – like walking on clouds! In addition, there was a high-quality snowsuit that completely protected us from the cold, as well as XXL gloves that you could put on your own gloves. Thanks to this perfect preparation, we didn’t have to freeze once during the entire tour – even though we were out for several hours in the breathtaking winter landscape.
Personal contact & individual experiences
Even before the tour we had the opportunity to talk to Naomi and Ben, which immediately created a familiar atmosphere. The two really take time for their guests and are passionate about it. If you want to make the experience even more intense, you can stay directly on site in one of their four huts. The accommodations are super modern and offer the perfect retreat in the middle of the wintry wilderness.
In addition, you can also book a snowmobile tour with Naomi and Ben – and the best part: Here the snowmobiles are not throttled, so you can experience the full power! For those who like it a little more relaxed, there’s also the opportunity to go ice fishing for free – a unique experience not to be missed.
The dogs – the heart of the experience
After the warm welcome we went to the true stars of the tour: the Huskys! We were allowed to get to know them, pet them and even help put them in the dishes ourselves. It was wonderful to see how much love and dedication Naomi and Ben provide for their dogs. The animals are not only extremely well trained, but also incredibly trusting and cuddly.
The tour – freedom on skids
After a short but precise briefing, it finally started – and what a feeling it was! Gliding through the snowy landscape, accompanied only by the soft crunch of snow and the rhythmic trotting of the dogs, was simply breathtaking. Throughout the ride, Naomi provided us with exciting information about the huskys, the surroundings and life in Lapland. We didn’t feel like participants in a tour, but like friends who are allowed to participate in their everyday lives.
Ben rode with another group during the tour, which shows how professional and individual the tours are organized.
Family atmosphere & perfect conclusion
After the tour we were allowed to feed the dogs and were even lucky enough to spend some time with a white husky puppy – a real highlight! Finally, we went to a cosy wooden cabin, where a crackling campfire provided pleasant warmth. Over hot coffee and an incredibly delicious stew, we reviewed the experience and once again felt that Naomi and Ben are there with all their passion.
Conclusion
This tour wasn’t just a husky sleigh ride – it was an all-round experience full of warmth, nature and unforgettable moments. The personal attention, the love for the animals and the possibility to customize your stay make this place very special.
Those in Lapland should not miss this adventure! A thousand thanks to Naomi and Ben for this unique experience!

Wonderful experience thanks to the Oatfield Huskies team - We would like to thank the whole team of Oatfield Huskies for a wonderful husky sleigh ride , where you could not only admire the beautiful scenery but also see how great the dogs were treated and how much fun the dogs had pulling our 4-sled. We were allowed to help to clamp the dogs , were able to pet them and at the end were eaten with a great soup in the kata. The atmosphere and the team have and liked so much that we booked a Moror sleigh tour for the next day , which was also a lot of fun and a great experience.

Definitely recommended - Warm welcome from Naomi and her team. She told us a lot about the animals and you can tell that they do it with a lot of passion. We were able to put the harness on the dogs and each dog was introduced to us. Of course, petting was not to be missed. The sleigh ride was an experience and the food in the barbecue hut delicious and sociable.

Great disenchantment - Were not allowed to ride the sled. Wasn't mentioned in their website at all. That's why we didn't start. After numerous wonderful experiences in many other places, this was a very great disappointment
Never experienced it.
