Just the most amazing experience from being picked up by a very polite gentleman to the ride, meeting the huskies and then the sausages and hot drink in the little hut around a glowing warm fire! I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Wow!! This was INCREDIBLE!!! We absolutely loved this and it was the highlight of our trip. We’re on a budget, but this was still well worth the money spent. The best thing about this ride is that you are truly out in the wilderness, nothing else around. Snow was high, even in April, so you felt like you were driving down a snow tunnel. The guides were great giving info on the dogs and also took amazing photos of us. The length felt just right. You get to drive for half, then swap with your partner and sit in the sleigh. Just as you’re getting cold and the thrill has worn off, it ended. And then you get to cuddle the dogs and go into a little wooden hut for sausage! A few things to note. The ride is maybe 20-40mins? Somewhere around there but feels much longer as you are in the middle of the forest. The dogs are Alaskan huskies, not the big fluffy huskies if you’re set on that type of breed. But it’s actually more ethical to have Alaskan huskies in Finland (than Siberian) and the dogs LOVED a pat afterwards. They are honestly so cute, they looked like Balto!!! It’s also a 45 min drive in the car south, but it went quick and worth it to get the scenery on the dog ride. The other good thing is we never felt rushed. Heaps of time with the dogs, heaps of time in the hut. Even went sledding for a bit. Perfect!! Please book this it’s sooooo good!!!!!

The highlight of our trip. The tour was very enjoyable and the guides were super friendly! Afterwards, we were allowed to cuddle with the dogs and received refreshments in a very cozy Finnish cabin.

It was an AMAZING experience. The trail is just magical, the views are incredible. The ride feels like a bonafide husky sled ride, not like others that take around a track, here you are actually riding fast about an hour through the frozen forest. The only thing I did not like is that compared to other activities the guides did not provide any information about the dogs, the area, or general information about the experience.
It was just instructions on what to wear and how to ride and that’s it. No more. I would still come back.

Eventough we had some pick up problems (no Info email about the time) the rest of the experience was great, beautiful scenery, enough time to enjoy, meet the dogs, eat and get Infos. The dog sledding by yourself is a lot of fun and I would love to do it again :)

It was absolutely amazing!! The driver and all the staff were welcoming and accommodating, making sure everything was ok.
The dogs were so energetic and ready to go as soon as they saw us arrive. We got a quick lesson for the drivers of the cart (yes we get to drive!) and then we were ready to go as well.
During the ride with the team we made our way out of the farm and into the forest. Winding through the trees on a well worn but interesting path, the best moments were when it opened up into an open field. With the falling snow and the dogs rushing and panting in front of you it is magical.
We had a couple of stops to deal with the dogs getting tangled (and someone had a small tumble) but overall it was really smooth and just an incredible journey with the dogs.
Afterwards the team brought us into the kota (hut) and we had some sausages with sauces and some warm berry juice. We all warmed up and talked amongst ourselves for a while, got our license to dog sled, and headed out.
What a perfect day. Thanks so much to the team and especially the dogs that all worked so hard!

Amazing experience, thoroughly recommend. No vegetarian sausages though but it really wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

An amazing experience. The team were all so welcoming and passionate about the husky’s and happy to share the knowledge and experience.

An unbelievable experience that I would recommend to anyone and made even better by the staff. Jose was a superstar with his hospitality and his Finish story telling which gave us a better understanding of Finish history.
