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!
Everything was perfect and the Huskies was the must do activity in Finland. Pure Lapland were knowledgable and caring about the animals. The close ecounter with these magnificient gentle Huskies is just amazing and can't be missed.
We had such a lovely experience with Pure Lapland and especially with Kati. She explained everything about the huskies so well and you could really feel how much she cares about the dogs. One of the highlights was that we were able to go for a walk with the huskies ourselves, which was such a special and fun experience. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, at the end we even got to cuddle the little huskies — absolutely adorable! Afterwards, we enjoyed some delicious warm tea, which was the perfect ending to such a beautiful experience. Everything felt very personal, relaxed and authentic. A wonderful experience for the whole family and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Lapland. Thank you so much, Kati! We would highly recommend Pure Lapland to anyone visiting Rovaniemi.
It was truly an amazing experience.
Excellent, pure joy watching the dogs run and my kids drive the sleds,, Nikki was a great guide and very entertaining with the meet n greet with the dogs
We did our dog sledding here and we LOVED it!!!!!!!!!! The huskies were so, so, so cute — we’re completely in love with them (Siberian Huskies are my all-time favorite!). The staff were amazing too. We had so much fun and felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the whole experience. Special thanks to Helena (hope I spelled your name correctly!) for being so friendly and wonderful. Definitely a must-visit husky farm!
We were given a briefing about how to drive the sled before being allocated a pack of dogs and a sled. My husband and I are on the chunkier side so although the dogs stopped from time to time, they did well to get us around! I thought we would only go a short distance but we were out for some time with the opportunity to swap driver/rider half-way around. Afterwards we got plenty of time to say hello and pet the dogs before being introduced to some beautiful pups! We then had some hot berry juice and biscuits in a teepee and the opportunity to ask as many questions as we wanted before being returned to our hotel.
Fantastic experience , we were the only ones on the tour so felt very private. Great communication with provider and pick up was seamless. Staff were all fab and you can tell the husky’s were very well cared for and loved running. We both got a turn a driving the sled and spending time with the husky puppies after for the kennel tour was great . 10/10 recommend!
Our pick up was on time. On the 20 min way from city center we had a good chat about Finland and learnt lots of useful info. Our guide explained how to dress up in -36 Celsius. We put another overal on the top of our ski overal and ski jacket, 3 underlayers, 3 socks. 😃 We also used foor warmers, which I strongly recommend. We LOVED the small group tour, it was flexible. For example we preferred spending more time outside with the dogs and 9 week-old pupies, while the other 4 people rather wanted to warm up at the fire. The sliding was wonderful experience!!!! We had a chance to change the driving position with my husband. I strongly recommend this company for a husky tour!
We had a family trip to this husky farm: included a visit, a husky ride (with driving the sled!), after that a tour around the kennels with interesting info and finally some warming fire. It was a marvelous adventure, depsite the extreme cold (-33 C), thus a shorted husky ride for the interest of everyone:)
Wonderful experience husky dog sledding with hot juice by the fire in the tepee after. Our guides Jake and Minty were very knowledgeable. The dogs were gorgeous and friendly- they enjoyed being petted after the run. We stayed at Hotel Metsahirvas which was the perfect location as we were collected and 3 mins drive away from the husky park. The whole experience was around 2.5 hours, so not just a 10 minute run and then over. Although more pricey than the other husky dog sledding experiences from Santa Village, this small group ‘mushing’ was totally worth it. Finally, my husband and I took turns to drive the sled- so we weren’t simply sitting enjoying the ride- we were fully engaged. 10/10 - fabulous experience
We did the Pure Amazing Autumn Husky Safari (Small-Group), and it was amazing! We spent lots of time meeting the huskies, learning about them and ofc a ride on the sled driven by 6 amazing huskies. It was a very smooth experience from pick up to drop off, and it was clear how much the staff cared about the dogs and the experience for us. Would highly recommend!
Don't miss out this amazing experience! It is so much fun and this company made it a great experience all together. Well organized, having access to all the gear needed, the dogs are so happy and friendly and you can get super good videos! It was my preferred activity from all of the trip!
"During our four days in Rovaniemi, we booked several activities with different tour operators, and Pure Lapland was by far the nicest and most professional. The groups were small, and the guides were knowledgeable. The snowmobile safari, the visit to the husky farm, and the ride were all incredibly fun. You can really see how much they care about the dogs and treat them with so much love. I highly recommend them!
Very good , spent lots of time with the dogs and we had a hot drink under the tipi with the guide. We would have liked the ride to last a bit longer though ....
Very nice Husky sleigh ride. Picked up at the hotel on time, visit the husky farm and did a nice journey through the forest. Afterwards we had a juice and some cookies at a fireplace in a tent. Time enough to play with the dogs. Thanks
Amazing husky experience! All went great, from the preparation to the very end! I would recommend 100% as a local activity!
Unfortunately our trip wasn’t as good as we’d hoped. Due to the weather we were only able to have 10 mins being pulled by the Huskies. PureLapland would only refund the price of 1 child despite us all getting less than half the experience. Whilst you’re shown around the kennels and have a warm juice in a tent the main reason you book the excursion is for the husky ride itself. The team are very nice but to spend €400 hrs for 10 mins of husky ride wasn’t a fair price for the experience we had.
We did the Pure Amazing Husky tour on March 4. Our guide Laura, who was incredibly nice and sovereign, picked us up from the Hotel Metsähirvas. Before the departure we were dressed accordingly with snow boots, warm jumpsuit etc. Then we took the van in a max 10 minute drive to the Husky Kennel. We were lucky, the weather was great and the beautiful snow landscape showed its best side. At about -2°C we were able to start after a short briefing. Our team had 6 huskys, as were only three, so my girlfriend and I with a sled and another young woman alone with a team. It went through a 3.5 km long path across the fantastic snowy forest. It was an incredible experience for us, just fantastic. After 3.5 km would be exchanged and the same distance with Musher Nr. 2 (mir:-)) driven. I almost cried with happiness, that was always my dream - to control a husky sled myself. Afterwards we had plenty of time to cuddle with the huskys and....they wanted to cuddle so much:-) Afterwards we went through the Kennel, Laura told us a lot about the Huskys and answered each of our questions in detail. Afterwards we were allowed into the puppy enclosure, there we also spent some time until we finally went to the campfire in the tent with hot tea and pastries. For me, and I think I can also speak for my girlfriend, it was the most wonderful and unforgettable hours of our Scandinavia trip! Everything was well organized, Laura, with whom we also spent a breathtaking time on a snowshoe hike the next day, told us a lot about the country, the people and nature and was there with full joy and dedication. Thanks for these great and unforgettable experiences!!!
It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family. The facility is well maintained and the dogs are in very good condition. I can fully recommend the tour. We were allowed to pet the dogs and play with the puppies. The "self-driving" of the dog sled was really fun. The carriage had to be pushed on the inclines in the running step :) Great experience! Don't think twice, book now!
We had a wonderful experience. In particular, our German speaking guide was able to answer all our questions and contributed to a fantastic tour. There are about 120 huskies on site. There are also a few puppies. You really had the feeling that the employees who take care of the dogs were passionate about their job and the animal welfare was at heart. Thank you so much!
