Wilderness Sled Dog Tour Finland: The itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
Upon arrival at Kajaani Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to the hotel. Check in to your cosy room and then explore the area. Let this day end comfortably, relax, and look forward to the upcoming adventures!
Day 2: Your First Sled Dog Tour
Start the day with a hearty breakfast and plenty of energy! Today, you will meet the excited huskies who are eager to start the adventure. A transfer will take you to the husky farm, where the sled dogs will be waiting for you. Your guide will discuss the programme for the next few days and you will be given warm clothes appropriate for polar temperatures. Afterwards, meet your husky team and learn the basics of driving a sled. As soon as you are ready, you can start a fantastic tour through the wilderness of Finland. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty and magic of this remote place. This is a dog sled tour that takes you through a stunning snow-covered landscape where you can enjoy the silence and solitude, which is interrupted only by the paws of your huskies crunching on the untouched snow. Upon your return to the husky farm, the transfer will take you back to the hotel. Use the evening for a relaxing sauna session and unwind in the spa area.
Day 3: Leisure and Northern Lights Tour
After breakfast, use your free time to explore the area or take advantage of Vuokatti's wide range of activities. Later on in the day, you will start your unforgettable hunt for the Northern Lights! The huskies in your dog sled dog team will find it hard to contain their excitement and are more than ready to take you out again through the wilderness of Finland. Today's tour takes you some 20 km through forests and fields and over frozen lakes. Headlamps will illuminate your path as you approach your rest area as the sun goes down. Enjoy a meal in a traditional Mongolian yurt, which is the traditional abode of the nomadic shepherds. The cosy atmosphere makes this break on your sled dog tour a very special experience. Listen to the guides' stories and warm yourself up in the oven-heated yurt. With a little luck, you may even see the magical auroras dancing over the night sky above you. After this unique time out in the wild, you will return to the husky farm on a dog sled. A transfer will then take you back to your accommodation, where you can spend the evening in the comfort of your hotel.
Day 4: Another Husky Adventure in Scandinavia
On this day you can look forward to a 30 km long dog sled tour through the wide and wild landscape! Today you will head out with your own husky team, which will greet you with anticipation. Enjoy the silence and fantastic views throughout the trip, before taking a break in a traditional yurt and then heading back to the husky farm. Use the evening to relax in the spa area or end the day with drinks at the hotel bar.

Important information:
The safety of our guests is our priority. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow our routes as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of the safaris, and the duration of the excursions if necessary.
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.
Note: We recommend booking additional categories and guided activities directly with the tour package (several weeks or months before arrival), as these may be fully booked at the time of travel. Some activities are only available on certain dates and not for the entire season.

18-23.02.23 - Traumurlaub
So eine Reise war schon immer unser Traum. Nun haben wir Sie gemacht und sind begeistert. Es war alles sehr gut organisiert. Auch das Flieger und Zug Verspätung hatten, war alles kein Problem. Die Kommunikation mit dem Hotel hat super funktioniert. Auch das unsere Koffer den Sprung von Helsinki nach Kajaani nicht geschafft hatten, war für die Mitarbeiter des Hotels kein Problem. Noch in der gleichen Nacht haben sie den Kontakt zu Finair hergestellt und sm nächsten Tag standen sie denn an der Information des Hotels.
Das Hotel ist nett, liegt traumhaft. Die Zimmer sind gross genug und sauber. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls gut. Eine Abwechslung im Aufschnitt und Käse wäre wünschenswert. Der Service, wie schon erwähnt, einfach nur großartig und spitzenmässig.
Die Huskytouren haben uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Gut war die kleine Gruppe, so bekam man Kontakt zu den Hundeführern und Fahrerinnen. Wir haben uns jederzeit aufgehoben und sicher gefühlt. Die Betreuung auch während der Fahrten war außergewöhnlich. Das die Landschaft atemberaubend ist, muss ich wahrscheinlich nicht erwähnen. An dieser Stelle nochmals vielen Dank an alle. Ich kann verstehen, daß die Finnen die glücklichsten Menschen der Welt sind!
