A husky safari is one of the most iconic and memorable activities you can experience during your holiday in Lapland. Imagine gliding through snowy forests and across frozen lakes, guided by a team of eager huskies and the quiet rhythm of the sled on snow. Whether you’re visiting with your family, partner, or friends, this adventure offers both excitement and deep connection with Arctic nature.

What is a husky safari?

A husky safari is a dog sledding experience where a team of huskies pulls a sled through the winter landscape. Most tours allow guests to take turns as the musher (driver), while others ride comfortably in the sled. It’s a traditional mode of transport in Arctic regions, and today it has become a beloved winter activity for travelers.

What to expect

Your adventure begins with meeting the huskies – friendly, energetic, and eager to run. You’ll receive instructions on how to handle the sled, and once ready, your team of dogs will take you on a journey through the snow-covered wilderness. The route winds through forests, over frozen lakes, and past scenic viewpoints.

After the ride, you’ll have the chance to thank your husky team with pets and photos. Many safaris end with warm drinks and snacks by the fire, where you can chat with the mushers and learn about the life and care of these incredible working dogs.

Suitable for everyone

Husky safaris are ideal for couples seeking a romantic winter memory, families with children, and small groups of friends. Most safaris are designed to be accessible to beginners, and safety is always a top priority. Children usually ride as passengers in the sled, making it safe and enjoyable for all ages.
