Day 2: First husky tour in Scandinavia
Now your winter adventure really begins! Enjoy a hearty breakfast and get ready for this eventful day! At the nearby husky farm, you will be greeted by the excited huskies who will already be eagerly awaiting you. After an introduction to leading a team of dogs, you will be shown how to use the sled safely. The initial excitement quickly turns into silence, which is interrupted only by the paws of the huskies crunching on the untouched snow. Enjoy the tranquillity and beautiful views on a 6 km long husky tour through the wilderness of Finland. After the tour, you will have enough time to get to know the animals better and to warm up with a hot drink. Hot drinks are included and the duration of the excursion is 2,5 hours with transfers. End this eventful day in the sauna or in the outdoor pool.
Day 3: Snowmobile Safari
After a tasty breakfast, you will start today’s excursion, which will be the perfect activity for a winter vacation! On this day, a snowmobile tour is planned through the breathtaking nature of Vuokatti. Your local guide will lead the way, as we drive safely into the winter wonderland by snowmobiles. You will drive this safari with new Touring model snowmobiles – due to new technology they’re safer and more environmentally friendly as they produce lower emissions. On your way bac, you’ll stop for a break and enjoy hot drinks and sweet snacks. This safari suits well for beginners, too. The route length is about 20 km and the duration of the excursion is 2,5-3 hours with transfers. This tour is driven with 2 persons per snowmobile.

Day 5: Northern Lights Husky Adventure
In the morning and during the day time, you will have leisure time to do as you please. If you like, you can try some tobogganing or just relax at Katinkulta Spa. In the evening, it is time to hunt the Northern lights with huskies. Embrace the romance and beauty of the Arctic night! Powerful headlights cut through the darkness of the enchanted winter forest. As the forest gives way to the open frozen lake, on a clear night the heavens open up before your eyes hopefully offering up the spectacular scenery of the Northern Lights. Relax by the warmth of the fire in the traditional Mongolian Yurt as your guide serves up a traditional and delicious picnic dinner, then step outside for another spectacular view of the night sky. The driving distance today is 20 km and the duration of the excursion around 4 hours with transfers.

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.

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).
