Wow!! This was INCREDIBLE!!! We absolutely loved this and it was the highlight of our trip. We’re on a budget, but this was still well worth the money spent. The best thing about this ride is that you are truly out in the wilderness, nothing else around. Snow was high, even in April, so you felt like you were driving down a snow tunnel. The guides were great giving info on the dogs and also took amazing photos of us. The length felt just right. You get to drive for half, then swap with your partner and sit in the sleigh. Just as you’re getting cold and the thrill has worn off, it ended. And then you get to cuddle the dogs and go into a little wooden hut for sausage! A few things to note. The ride is maybe 20-40mins? Somewhere around there but feels much longer as you are in the middle of the forest. The dogs are Alaskan huskies, not the big fluffy huskies if you’re set on that type of breed. But it’s actually more ethical to have Alaskan huskies in Finland (than Siberian) and the dogs LOVED a pat afterwards. They are honestly so cute, they looked like Balto!!! It’s also a 45 min drive in the car south, but it went quick and worth it to get the scenery on the dog ride. The other good thing is we never felt rushed. Heaps of time with the dogs, heaps of time in the hut. Even went sledding for a bit. Perfect!! Please book this it’s sooooo good!!!!!
