Husky Safari (3.5 hours)

Starting with the pick-up from the hotel, you’ll head to the local husky kennels where you will find out all about these amazing animals. After receiving instructions you will be taken to the dog sled team, ready to take you on an exciting 10km ride through amazing landscapes of the Finnish wilderness. Driving in pairs, one as a musher and one as a passenger in the sled, changing drivers along the route, feel the excitement as you speed through the winter wonderland, a once in a lifetime moment. After the journey, warm yourself up with hot drinks and snacks, while listening to stories about the huskies and dog sledding.

This small group tour takes you away from any light pollution to a remote location in the magical forest. The professional photographer will assist you with setting up your camera correctly, ready for taking pictures. You’ll sit around a campfire and enjoy a traditional reindeer snack with hot blueberry juice while the guide explains about the northern lights and about traditional legends from the Sami and Lappish cultures.

Snowmobile Safari (2.5 hours)

Get ready for some adrenaline-fuelled snowmobiling action. This is a fantastic tour for those seeking some adventure while exploring the beautiful natural surroundings.

First, you will be collected from the hotel and taken to the snowmobile base where you’ll receive a short briefing on how to drive the machines and provided with necessary safety equipment. Then prepare for some speed as you find yourself whizzing through the wilderness along forest trails and across frozen lakes, with stops made for a rest and to change drivers along the way, before heading back to basecamp for hot drinks and snacks. You are then transferred back to the hotel.

Please note, you will ride the snowmobiles in pairs and a full driving licence is required.
