A wonderful husky safari into the winter wonderland – perfect for families

Experience the magic of the Arctic with this family-friendly 5 km self-drive husky safari just outside Rovaniemi. Ideal for first-timers, families, and anyone who wants a real connection with Lapland’s most iconic animals, this 3,5-hour adventure combines the thrill of mushing with the warmth of traditional hospitality. You’ll drive your own sled—switching driver roles if you like—through snowy forests with guidance from local experts.


While one group is on the trail, the others relax in a cozy kota, enjoying warm drinks, gingerbread, and stories about husky life in the north. After the ride, take time to meet, photograph and bond with the dogs—each one with a name, a story, and a spark of Arctic spirit. With small group sizes and a pace that prioritizes connection over speed, this tour offers a rare and personal slice of Lapland life.


Whether you’re visiting Santa, chasing Northern Lights, or just exploring the north, this husky safari is the perfect way to feel the snow, hear the dogs’ excited howls, and come away with lasting memories.
