O'Nordic operates from Keminmaa in Lappi, offering guided dog-focused experiences and nature-based stays in Finnish Lapland. The company runs farm visits where guests spend 90 minutes with friendly Nordic dogs and hens, plus short cani-hikes and longer guided treks around Kirintövaara.
O'Nordic's program includes 45-minute cani-hikes, 2.5-hour family treks, 5-hour guided hikes with lakeside grilling, and multi-day bivouac trips under the midnight sun in a national park. Visitors can drive their own sled across Kitka Lake on several sledding tours and the Kitka zen tour, or join a discovery run with family-focused sled rides. Special experiences highlight retired dogs with both gentle 2.5-hour cani-randonnées and longer 8–10 km forest hikes, combining animal welfare and outdoor activity. Seasonal options include winter kennel visits, ski-pulka journeys with an overnight trapper's cabin, and half-day dog sled driving with full sled teams. A private Nordic brunch package pairs a farm visit and a 45-minute cani-hike with a brunch made from over 90% local ingredients.
Most activities are guided; some bivouac and private tours are offered as dedicated experiences. O'Nordic focuses on hands-on interaction with animals, immersive nature routes around Kitka Lake and Kirintövaara, and practical outdoor hospitality like lakeside grilling and kota gatherings. The provider is presented on The Adventure Collective and serves travelers seeking authentic Lapland dog adventures in and around Keminmaa, Lappi. Many experiences are suitable for families and friends, and several tours include time for bonding with dogs, fireside meals, and opportunities to observe local flora and animal tracks and memories.
