Lapland, a vast expanse of Arctic wilderness stretching across northern Finland, offers some of the most authentic winter adventures on the planet. In Sirkka, a village at the heart of Lapland’s snow-covered forests and frozen lakes, Polar Lights Tours invites visitors to step into a unique dogsledding experience with their Arctic Husky Circle - Husky Safari. This 2-hour journey is an immersive introduction to the traditional Nordic way of winter travel, designed for pairs to share the joy and challenge of steering a husky team across pristine, snow-blanketed trails.
The adventure begins at Polar Lights Tours' husky farm, where guests receive clear, hands-on training on handling the sled, making it accessible even for first-timers. As the team sets out, there’s a rhythm to the ride — the steady pull of the huskies, the crunch of snow beneath runners, and the expansive silence broken only by the dogs’ eager breaths. Halfway through, drivers swap places, ensuring both get to experience the thrill of guiding the pack through sprawling boreal forests and open tundra.
What makes this trip stand out is the deep connection to local culture and nature. Between sledding, guests warm up with hot juice and cookies while learning about the life of the huskies and the region’s long history of sled dog travel. This isn’t just a scenic ride; it’s an educational glimpse into Lapland’s Arctic heritage.
Polar Lights Tours plays a vital role in the local outdoor recreation scene, offering sustainable and intimate excursions that celebrate Lapland’s winter landscape without overwhelming it.
