Set deep within the pristine wilderness of Inari, Lapland, Extreme Huskysafaris Oy invites adventurers to command their own team on a 6-hour husky safari that blends raw nature with authentic Finnish tradition. This immersive journey begins at the kennel, home to around 100 Alaskan Huskies ranging from lively puppies to seasoned competitors. Here, you’ll meet dedicated mushers who’ve devoted their lives to training these remarkable dogs and learn the ropes of sled driving in a hands-on lesson.

Once suited up with provided winter gear, you and a partner share a sled, swapping roles halfway to experience the thrill and skill of mushing firsthand. Guided by an expert through ancient boreal forests and across a frozen lake, the route offers a dynamic scenery of snow-dusted pines and frozen waterways, punctuated by thoughtful stops to capture the surroundings.

Midway, the safari pivots to a unique activity: ice fishing or snowshoeing, extending your connection to the landscape and local culture. Then, retreat to a Lappish hut where a traditional Finnish lunch awaits beside an open fire. Here, stories about huskies and the Arctic lifestyle enrich the meal, providing insight into the bond between musher and dog.

Returning through the same backcountry trails, the journey closes with a chance to snap final photos and share heartfelt moments with the dogs before heading back to your accommodations.
