2.Husky Sled Ride and Farm Visit

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 266 reviews · 2 hours · from $117Best value

Spend two hours visiting a Rovaniemi husky farm, including hotel transfers, an 800-meter sled ride, dog time, and a warm hut stop with hot drinks and cookies. The ride is guided rather than self-driven, and farm time lasts about one hour. Guides such as Egor and Paula have been praised for friendly service.

“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”

6.Rovaniemi Santa Claus Village Husky Reindeer Farm Arctic Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 84 reviews · from $298

English guides lead the day, with French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese available on request. Start at the city-center office, not your hotel.

“Amazing day out. We were collected from our accommodation and taken up to a peak to look out over the town and then on to Santas park. First up was meeting Santa, then we had a buffet lunch that was really nice. After lunch we went to see the huskies and after that the reindeer. The guides were great and spoke a variety of languages. The walk up to the peak was a nice stroll and the incline isn’t very steep. It was a great relaxed day trip.”
