An arctic nighttime adventure with the huskies!

Duration

2 Hours (From pick up to return)

About

The guide will pick guests up from Kakslauttanen and provide thermal outfits at the husky farm. Then it is time to meet the friendly dogs who are eagerly waiting in front of the sledges. Husky dogs love running and can’t wait to get going! The husky guide will give instructions on how to stop, turn and drive the husky sledge pulled by several dogs. To drive a husky team in dark is already itself an exciting experience. Head torchlight on your head you drive the team further away from the glow of artificial lights to find the magical Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis. The sled is for 2 people unless you wish to have your own sled only for yourself (for an extra cost). The other person is seated in the sleigh, the other is standing and driving in the back, you can swap drivers halfway. You will enjoy riding in the wintery forest as much as the dogs! After arriving at the farm and thanking your dogs for the adventure together it’s time for a hot drink and some husky stories.

Note: In order to drive the sledge, you need to weigh min. 45-50kg.
You are not allowed to drive under the influence of alcohol, according to Finnish law. We cannot allow pregnant guests to join this activity. Pick up time: In the evening, after dusk
