2.Husky Sled Ride and Farm Visit

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

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…”

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.”

“An excellent experience run by experts. Extremely well organised. Despite the extreme cold, the activity continued as planned when I had had another activity provider cancel due to the weather conditions. We felt completely safe and kept warm at all times. The time out side for all activities was just enough with -24 temperature. It was fantastic to interact with the huskies and learn about them and also the reindeer. The snowmobile ride was great fun and at one hour long enough for our teenagers riding on the back as they did feel a bit cold at this point. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.”
