Husky Safari (Nellim)

Husky Safari (Nellim)

This is a ‘must do’ experience and the favourite activity of guests. When you arrive, the huskies excitement is contagious as you tether them to your sled. Once set up, they’ll pull you through the beautiful winter scenery across the frozen Lake Inari. As the dogs fall silent, you are left with the soft padding of paws and the swoosh of the sleigh for company. All safaris run so that one guest is mushing while the other rides on the sleigh, with these positions being swapped halfway. 
Aurora Snowmobiling (Nellim)

Aurora Snowmobiling (Nellim)

Depart into the Arctic night by snowmobile and seek out the elusive Northern Lights. Your evening experience begins with a thorough safety briefing and then it's time to rev the engines. Your guide will take you along easy-going trails looking for cloud-free skies and signs of the Northern Lights. Once we reach the perfect viewing spot, we’ll get the campfire going and enjoy some hot drinks in each other's company. You'll share a snowmobile with the chance to switch places. Drivers must be at least 18 years of age, with a driving licence valid in Finland.
