Located in the heart of Finnish Lapland near Kittilä, Tundra Huskies offers a hands-on Arctic adventure that’s as authentic as it is exhilarating. Their signature 5KM husky safari invites visitors to take the reins themselves, guiding a team of Siberian huskies across a varied trail that cuts through dense boreal forests and glides over the frozen surface of a nearby lake. The route’s mix of wooded sections and open ice provides an engaging challenge for first-timers and families eager for an active, outdoor experience.
After the thrill of driving your own dog sled, the journey continues at the Tundra Huskies farm, situated just 10 kilometers from the ski resort of Levi. This is where the real magic of Arctic life unfolds: visitors can meet the charismatic Siberian huskies—some still puppies—alongside the farm’s reindeer, hand-feeding these iconic Lapland animals. The farm offers a genuine window into northern culture, with guides sharing stories about husky training and daily life in this extreme environment.
The experience rounds out with time by a crackling campfire inside a traditional Lappish kota, where you can roast sausages over the open flame and warm up with hot berry juice. This combination of high-paced sledding and slow, communal moments creates a rounded adventure ideal for couples and families alike.

More than just a sightseeing tour, it’s a chance to actively engage with a northern way of life few ever get to experience. Whether you’re passing through or settling in Lapland for winter, reserving this safari is a way to connect with the raw beauty and vitality of the Arctic wilderness on your own terms.
