Your Questions, Our Expert Answers — everything you need to know before the hunt.

Do I need previous experience to drive a husky sled?

You don’t need any previous experience to join this tour. Before the safari begins, your guide will give you clear instructions on how to handle the sled, keep your balance, and communicate with the huskies. Two people share each husky sled—one drives while the other sits comfortably, and you can switch roles halfway. The ride is exciting and fast-paced, but we design it for beginners and families so that everyone can enjoy it safely. Children can sit in the sled, which makes it a memorable adventure for the whole family.

How physically demanding is the tour?

This adventure suits most travelers with a normal level of fitness. Driving a husky sled requires some balance and the ability to stand for about 30–40 minutes, while the reindeer ride offers a calm and relaxing experience. You will only walk short distances, mostly around the farm and between activities. We provide warm winter overalls and boots to keep you comfortable even in colder weather. As with all outdoor Arctic activities, dress in layers underneath the gear we provide to stay warm throughout the day.

What is the cultural aspect of this experience?

Beyond the activities, this tour offers a deeper connection to Lapland’s traditions. The reindeer ride introduces you to a way of travel that has been central to Sámi culture for centuries. Spending time in the teepee, warming up by the fire, and tasting fresh salmon soup is not just a meal but also an opportunity to hear stories about the Arctic lifestyle, reindeer herding, and how huskies became part of Lapland’s modern adventures. It is both an outdoor excursion and a cultural journey, allowing you to leave with new knowledge as well as memories.

What should I bring with me?

While winter clothing and boots are included, we recommend wearing warm base layers, a good pair of wool socks, gloves, and a hat. Bringing your camera is a must, as you’ll want to capture both the fast-paced husky ride and the serene reindeer sleigh journey. A small water bottle and some snacks for children can also be handy. Most importantly, bring an adventurous spirit—this tour is designed to give you the best of both worlds: adrenaline with huskies and serenity with reindeer, all wrapped up in an authentic Lapland experience.

Is food included?

Yes — a soup lunch at the reindeer farm is included. Hot drinks are served at both the husky and reindeer stops.

What if weather conditions change suddenly?

If trail or weather conditions change, we may adjust the route, timing, or order of activities. The safety and enjoyment of guests always come first.

Our guide showed us the northern lights. We drove all the way up in Finland to see them! And it was beautiful!

My girlfriend and I did the snowmobile and ice fishing tour with David. It was one of our highlights of our 7day trip in Lapland. David took his time to brief us on how to drive the snowmobile safely and responsibly, looked and knew the best places for some nice video/photo shots and great views. The ice fishing and campfire...

Jeremias and Erwin were absolutely amazing!! We saw a fantastic green Aurora (it even danced) on a night with very low probability and lots of cloud cover. Fantastic photos, fire and drink and snacks. We only managed to see such an amazing Aurora due to Jepa’s and Erwin’s dedication...

Nature was a bit tough on us — we only caught a brief glimpse of the Aurora after four hours. But huge kudos to the team for their patience and dedication. They made sure everyone was comfortable and still delivered a great experience overall. You won’t regret going with this company...

Sofia led us on the sleigh combo outing. She was very friendly and provided a lot of information on life in Finland. The reindeer sleigh experience was interesting but was not ‘dashing through the snow’. Reindeer were led by walking leads for about 2km, and the guide at the farm shared info on reindeer life and care...

The first tour was cancelled due to the weather, but we were rebooked at no extra expense for the next day. Tour departed on time and, as we were warned, we had to drive a couple of hours north to get away from the cloud. Our driver guide Sofian was engaging and helpful. He also had access to data which helped him predict...
