Details

Your 2-day dog-mushing experience will normally start at 11am on the first day. (We can pick you up from a down-town Hetta hotel if you ask us in advance). We will issue you with arctic-suitable kit and clothing and then introduce you to the farm and dogs before giving you detailed instructions in how to drive a sleigh.

Once you are ready, we will teach you how to set up your own dog team. You will learn about the size of harness each dog needs, why your particular group of dogs has been selected for you, their individual characters, and where they each need to be positioned in the running line. You will also be shown where to put your personal equipment within the sleighs - and then we are off.

You will transition seamlessly from open marshland to lake, river and forest glen during your 2-day journey through Europe’s most remote landscape. And, you will not only discover many hidden gems in the terrain but will also experience the changing light of the Arctic days.

The soft light of mid-morning gives way to the mystical twilight colours and spectacular sunsets of the afternoons and then, for those who are lucky, you will run with the dogs under a star-filled Arctic sky guided by northern lights in the heavens above.

Most of our 2-day safaris return to the homestead at night and guests sleep on the farm in the middle of the dogs in a traditional kota (a circular round-wood cabin with a central fireplace). This gives you a unique chance to participate in the evening routines around the farm and to have a true 'glimpse behind the scenes' of life on a working husky farm. You can obviously opt out of doing anything and everything and just relax in the kota but most guests enjoy feeding, brushing dogs or walking old retired dogs and pups. There is a big benefit to the dogs of coming home overnight since they can relax into their own well-insulated kennels.

On the following morning, we will get ready, together, before exploring a new landscape. You will be back at the farm around 4 pm on the second day and you are, of course, welcome to stay and help with the evening farm feed (although few still seem to have energy enough to take us up on this offer).
