Upon arrival at the husky farm, you'll be introduced to your very own husky team.

Each team consists of about six dogs, you as the driver, and a passenger comfortably seated in the wooden sledge. During the safari, the driver and passenger can switch places to share the experience. You will also have the opportunity to visit the huskies in their fenced area, where you can see their "homes" and learn more about these amazing animals.
After lunch you will meet the friendly reindeers. Experience the silence of nature in a noiseless reindeer sleigh. Forget your hurries, just relax, observe surrounding forest and enjoy. During the programme you can also feed the reindeer with lichen and take photos. The guide will also tell you how to handle and treat the reindeer and you can try to catch wooden reindeer with Lappish lasso.
