Husky adventure: Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
After arriving at the airport, you will be transferred to your accommodation for the duration of your stay – the beautiful hotel Iso-Syöte. Once you have checked in and had a chance to freshen up after your journey, you will be able to tuck into a delicious dinner. Then, turn in early for a good night of sleep in your cosy double room, so you are ready for your safari into the wilderness tomorrow.

Day 2: Your dog sled adventure begins!
After a delicious breakfast, your exciting dog sledding adventure begins in the pristine, beautiful landscapes of Finnish Lapland. From icy swamps and frozen lakes to deep, snow-capped forests — a breathtaking scenery waits to be explored! You will be taken to the Husky Farm to meet your entire dog sled team, and the dogs will be delighted to see you! Let yourself be won over by their infectious enthusiasm and eager anticipation! Your guide will give you all the necessary instructions that you will need to keep your dogs happy and safe, making for a better sled ride experience. Then climb on the slopes of your sled and head out on your adventure!
Glide through the wilderness, listening to the skids of the sled and the paws of the dogs crunching on the pristine snow underfoot. On the way, there will be breaks for coffee and snacks by an open fire. Once you arrive at the traditional wilderness hut, you will experience a true community feeling, with the whole group working together to get everything ready for the evening. The campfire will be kindled and the food prepared together as a team. There won't be any running water, but you can enjoy a traditional sauna and share your favorite memories of the day with each other across the burning campfire. With a little luck, you may see the Northern Lights dancing across the night sky.

Day 3: On the sled through Lapland
Strengthen yourself with a hearty breakfast, ready for the fun-filled day ahead! Your huskies will already be looking forward to the spending the day with you and cannot wait to set out into the wild again. Climb onto the slopes of your sled and enjoy the fantastic view as your faithful huskies pull you along. Today's tour takes you through snow-covered forests and over frozen lakes back to your hotel. On the way, you will be re-energised with coffee and snacks by an open fire. In the late afternoon, you will arrive back at the Husky Farm. Then it will sadly be time to say goodbye to your Huskies, whom you will surely remember fondly. End the day relaxing at the hotel and let yourself be enchanted by the fantastic view.


Day 4: Departure
Sadly, all good things must come to an end! Your short break with us is over. After a delicious breakfast, you will head back to the airport, ready for your onward journey. We will be sad to see you go, but we can guarantee that you will leave feeling re-energised and refreshed; taking many indescribable memories with you as you board the plane.
