Drive your own husky sled through snowy Lapland, meet friendly dogs, and warm up with berry drink on a two-hour Apukka adventure.
“It was the most magical experience I've ever had. The family that owns the husky farm was very welcoming and professional. They introduced themselves and their dogs to us in detail throughout the entire event, and they were constantly keeping an eye on us to ensure the safety of the dogs and us. Their guidance was very reassuring. The dogs were very well-groomed and happy. The hot berry-juice they served in the tent after sledding was very good. There is no need to worry about the cold, the overalls distributed before the event are very sufficient. apukka resort is a very beautiful place and the whole team is very friendly.…”
Rovaniemi’s half-day Arctic combo pairs husky and reindeer sleigh rides with a one-hour snowmobile safari.
“There was 4 of us that booked all 3 activities with the option of private pick up, 2 people in our group were elderly. Pick up worked well for us as we stayed just outside city centre. The 2 tour guides were excellent, chatting & putting us at ease. Making sure our experience felt special & informed us of what to expect throughout the morning. No matter what price you pay, if the staff are helpful it goes along way, so we really appreciated that, thanks boys. The activities were long enough for us, got to experience everything hassle free.”

“Our pick up driver did not inform us we’d be dropped off at the office in town first which would have been nice to know. The office was pretty small and crowded and was hard to know who your guide was and where to go. Once on the tour bus we had to wait for a family who was running late but then it all went smoothly after that. The actual husky farm was a great experience - first we had instructions on how to drive the sleds then we headed out on a 10km long sled ride which was definitely the highlight of our 4day trip to Lapland. Then…”

“This was the most exhilarating and sensational experience that left me feeling so contented. The guide and pre ride training was excellent and the dogs were brilliant. It was great to see the puppies and have time to ask questions to the really knowledgeable staff. An experience I’ll never forget. I removed 1 star regarding the transport because we were waiting for 30 mins outside before we got picked up. That’s they only negative we had but it happens and was prob a one off.”

“The bus broke down on the way there but this was quickly replaced. The reindeer ride was not very enjoyable as the animals were being dragged at times by the sleigh in front.
