What to expect

We gather together to get the warm outfits, wooden socks, boots and cloves if needed. Guide will drive you to the kennel to meet the Siberian huskies. They wait in the teams and are barking eagerly to go to run in front of the sledges. The sledges are for 2-3 persons. Our tour is self driven, meaning one adult will sit in the sledge and the other one will be mushing the team according to the guidance given by the guide before the start of the husky ride. Depending on the weather conditions the ride itself will be about 40-50 min including the instructions. After the ride you can thank your team and cuddle the huskies. Guides will answer your questions about the dogs. Then it is time to walk around the kennel and have nice chat with the guide in the kota. A small snack will be provided. When it is time to say goodbye you will be driven back to meeting point and will return the outdoor clothes. It is time to say goodbye until we meet again!
