Husky adventure: Tour Itinerary

Day 1
After arriving at the airport, you will be transferred to your accommodation for the duration of your stay – the hotel Iso-Syöte. Once you have checked in and had a chance to refresh yourself 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 frozen swamps and 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 infected by their 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 all round. 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 is prepared together. There won't be any running water, but you can enjoy a 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 in the night sky.

On the way you will be re-energised with coffee and snacks by the open fire and in the late afternoon, you will arrive at the Husky Farm.
