Day 2-5: Exhilarating Husky Sledding Tours
After an introduction to driving a dog sled, you will start your first husky tour through the beautiful landscape that is unique in both its originality and diversity. In the following days, you will undertake 3 more husky safaris with your guide, who will lead you through the vastness of the country. Experience the most diverse corners of the Paljakka Nature Reserve, one of the last primeval forests in Europe. The tours run in a star shape into the snow-covered wilderness, where the endless beauty of nature and the feeling of freedom on your dog sled will give you unforgettable moments every day. Try snowshoe hiking and spend an afternoon at the lake in a waterfront sauna, do the same as the Finns and then go for an ice bath, catch your fish ice fishing for an evening barbecue around the campfire. The meals are prepared for you according to traditional Finnish cuisine. During the day tours, your food will be prepared in a wilderness hut or outdoors, giving you an authentic experience of life in the far north. Mainly natural foods are used.
Husky safaris into the surrounding wilderness are mostly scheduled for the morning. In the afternoon there is the possibility for guided and non-guided skiing or snowshoeing. Snowshoes, pedal sledges, forest skis, cross-country skis (classic and skating) and toboggans are available for this purpose.
Day 6: Snowshoe hike to lake
On the sixth day, a joint snowshoe hike to Lake Iso Särkijärvi is scheduled to take place. There we will have a barbecue around the campfire and then enjoy a typical Finnish sauna. A refreshing ice bath is also possible, as well as cosy ice fishing. On this day you will once again enjoy the breathtaking nature to the fullest.
Day 7: Departure
After a hearty breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to your faithful four-legged companions and head to the airport for your onward journey. Leave Finland with a lot of new experiences to share with your loved ones and remember forever.
Although sightings cannot be guaranteed, there may even be the opportunity to spot one of the world’s most beautiful natural phenomenons – the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights. On Saturday you will be transferred back to Kajaani airport where you will continue on your journey home, taking with you many amazing memories of your adventures on husky safaris in Finland.
Accommodation:
Nature Point Palijakka is a small, traditional Finnish guesthouse. It is situated on the edge of the stunning Paljakka nature reserve in the heart of the Lappish wilderness. Accommodation is in comfortable double rooms (some have space for additional beds so that families can share) and all have private bathroom facilities, running water, and electricity. A cosy natural stone fireplace and traditional wooden furnishings mean that you can have an authentic Lappish experience while still enjoying all the creature comforts of home. A sauna is also available. Single rooms may be available at a supplement – please enquire first. Activities at our beach resort are by the lake, located in beautiful Iso Sarkijarvi, 3.5 km from the main house.
Your Meals:
In addition to traditional Finnish cuisine, you will enjoy a very hearty and healthy diet that is prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This will provide you with a balanced and nutritious diet for the duration of your stay and give you the strength and energy you will need to make the most of this incredible experience! During the day, lunches will be prepared and served over an open fire (weather permitting), or in authentic wilderness huts. Your 3-course evening meal will be served to you back at Nature Point.
Husky Safari Important Information:
This tour is recommended for participants aged 15 years and over. Younger children may travel, but are not permitted to drive their own husky team and will instead travel in the sled with one of the guides.Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
