This was amazing. Words can't evenedescribe it. The woman who owned the dogs was fantastic and we got to drive our own sleds. The guides were great as well and were super helpful and friendly. Beautiful country further north of Rovaniemi. This is a must do.

Fun!

Alyssa_B, Apr 2023

We absolutely loved this tour! It was probably our favorite thing we did on our trip. We had a blast and we’re able to drive the husky sled! So much fun!

An unforgettable experience!

Kostis_K, Mar 2023

We loved everything regarding this tour..! I also want to thank the lovely mrs. onwer of Ratola, who treated us to juice and cookies afterwards and taught us a lot about huskies!

Nice huskies but not the best tour

linda_v, Mar 2023

Nice experience to meet the huskies. Had a nice ride but it feels it was a bit short and chaotic. I almost fainted during the ride because my hands were hurting because of the cold. More people had the same problem. It would have been nice if the booking agency provided proper handgloves. Also it is a bit touristy with a large group. But the travel guide was nice and provided good information about the huskies.

Great activity to start your day

Dolim_L, Mar 2023

This husky sledding was perfect length. Max two people per sled and each had a chance to drive. The views were beautiful as well. Pick up and drop off were well organized. We did the first run in the morning, and I wouod highly recommend that as dogs are very eager to go out and hit the ground.

Fun ride

Jozua_A, Mar 2023

Enjoyed the ride. But being in a large group made it feel like a sausage factory. The dogs personalities were also enjoyable to see and relate to our own dogs.

A most enjoyable experience

Merja_A, Mar 2023

The huskies and being able to stroke them . Loved driving the husky sleigh.Beautiful scenery.The only downside was that we had to wait an hour to leave for our excursion.

Amazing

Jasser_M, Feb 2023

Was really entertaining nice experience great tour guides. Only one thing make sure you are wearing clothes that keep you warm specially gloves

Must-do Lapland experience

Alice_P, Feb 2023

Husky tours are super popular and touristy in Lapland, so it was no surprise that this experience involved a lot of other people, some waiting around, and quite a bit of coordination on the part of the tour company. It’s also why it’s so remarkable that everyone involved worked hard to make us and the experience feel special. They took the time to ensure we understood the safety rules, were safe and taken care of during the journey, and had all of our questions answered at the end. Everyone was friendly and knowledgable and the husky ride itself was long and beautiful. The dogs appeared well cared for, and the facilities inviting. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lapland

Wonderland

Isabelle_A, Feb 2023

Wonderful experience. I was with my daughter and we just loved it. The dogs, the landscape, the guides all perfect. You cannot go to Lapland without doing it!

Must mush must

simon_D, Feb 2023

This experience was really fun actually and had some good level of challenge, physical and mental. Lovely people interesting dogs were lovely and so happy. We wanted to go again or for longer although this length was a perfect introduction. We have now given it all up to become professional dog sled racers. Not really But I wish.

Wonderful life-long memories

Elise_D, Feb 2023

It was just so wonderful. It’s an experience you will never forget. Our husky farm guide, I think her name is Eilja, was very kind and told very interesting facts about the huskys. We would definitely do it again. Just loved it.

Difficult to deal with

Steve_J, Feb 2023

Despite canceling more than 24 hours in advance, this tour operator denied our request for a refund. I’m trying to now work through Viator to secure the refund as ultimately it is Viator’s responsibility to ensure a tour operator fulfills their responsibility. This will determine Viator’s credibility.

Great, cold Husky ride

Martins_J, Feb 2023

The ride was long enough to enjoy the experience. Be aware you need to be dressed very warm, as it’s very calm ride. Also best to go when it’s really cold -15 and more then dogs run faster. The dogs are amazing.

We loved this experience!

Celeste_K, Jan 2023

This was one of our favourite experiences in Lapland. We loved the dogs and the ride. We also really liked our guide Mimi. She made the trip great.

Amazing Experience

Mark_T, Jan 2023

An amazing experience highly recommended. Paula was excellent as our guide, this is definitely something everyone should do in their lifetime.

Too short for a 4hrs description

Clarita_C, Jan 2023

We we’re pick up 8:30 in the morning, it was a little bit disastrous. There’s was no organization and it was still a little bit early so our guide apologized to us for our list time and propose to go to the lake. Then we went to the farm waiting for other people. Lost time again then finally we went to do the husky ride. In the description it was written about 4 hrs. But I think about 11:30 we were at our hotel. So I ask where are some of the hrs. left? It’s confusing for the guest. But it was great with the husky ride. I will still recommend it

A lifetime experience not to miss

Bonman, Jan 2023

This was fabulous, the company is fantastic and Marno and Daniel made it spectacular! Learning about these 180 dogs was educational and the ride was beautiful. Can’t say enough!

Excellent husky Farm n the guide but the nordique tourniperator is worth less

Annamalai_R, Dec 2022

The husky farm owner was pretty good so the experience was good but the tour operator Nordique is not a good one. If you can avoid them I highly recommend doing so. Their customer service is horrible

Everything was amazing at...

Mohamed_S, Dec 2022
