HUSKY SAFARI 8-10 km

ABOUT Husky safari and our farm

Feel the speed of cheerful and strong huskies from our kennel in Veskoniemi! After you’ve had a lesson in the basics of mushing your own dog team, you are ready for an adrenaline-filled safari into the beautiful arctic wilderness. The overall distance of this activity is 8-10 km in a two-person sledge: one is sitting as a passenger while the other is driving the sledge. In the middle places are switched. In the end, you can cuddle with the dogs and take pictures of your unstoppable husky team!

Who is it for?

Our safaris are for everyone. The thing to remember - you will be driving the sled yourself and this is a great experience. Safety and driving instructions are provided and after this most people feel comfortable trying to be a masher. If you have any doubts and would prefer to be only a passenger, please, address the guide at the farm. Children older than 2 y.o. can be taken on board the sled with parental supervision. The age from which the child can drive the sled varies and the decision is made by the husky guide but children younger than 12 y.o.are always participating as passengers.

HOW TO BE PREPARED?

  • Make sure you have proper warm outdoor clothing to enjoy the sledge ride. We provide overalls upon request made in advance. For the boots, mittens, and other items we can recommend the rental place.

  • Cameras to take photos
