A must do experience!!! - Last week we were in Rovaniemi and we booked the Aurora Husky Tour in Apukka. The pickup point in Rovaniemi city center is easy to find and the transfer well organized. They provide all the professional equipment, it’s almost impossible to be cold! It was impossible to see the aurora because of the weather: we didn’t have the chance to change the date because we had flight booked for Helsinki but driving a sleigh during the night with the snow falling was absolutely incredible! An amazing experience even without northern lights. We are so grateful to our young guide for sharing with us tons of information about the dogs. We had such a wonderful time!

Well worth the time and money. - We were picked up right on time in Rovaniemi city center and transported out to the location. Upon arrival we were immediately met by the kindest and helpful dog sled staff. We were fitted with warm weather gear and were on our way. The staff was great, I can't emphasize that enough! I couldn't believe that we were able to drive the sleds ourselves after easy straight forward training. After the adventure we were able to play with the dogs and enjoy sausages and traditional Finnish Glogi. Fun stories were shared by the staff around the fire. Even though it was too cloudy to see any northern lights, the adventure was phenomenal and the highlight of our trip.

Experiencia mágica en la nieve - It was a great experience both as passenger and as driver. The dogs are really friendly. The ride is totally safe and the people working at the place are all the time watching for you. We weren´t lucky about the northern lights (it was cloudy) but anyway the guide was really nice and explained us a lot of interesting things about huskies, mushers and sled dogs. We had a great time.

Great experience - Amazong expérience, even though we didn't see the northern lights, the husky ride was amazing. We got to influence the velocity of the sleigh, after the ride, we could cuddle huskys and also puppies. And guide was very nice, he told us about husky caring and training. You should definitely try it.

You drive the sleigh! - This was a really fun experience. You get to drive your own husky sleigh. This is followed by food at a camp fire in a kota. Although I enjoyed the experience, you didn't get time to meet the huskies and you're so focused on driving the sleigh you wouldn't really have time to see the Aurora if they were out. Also there was no blanket for the passenger in the sleigh which meant we were all freezing by the time we got back in -27° weather. When you arrive back, you're just in a Kota beside the huskies, not really a nice area to view the lights but mushing the huskies was really great fun! Fab experience!
