Kemi: Visit a Husky Farm and All Day Safari

If you’re looking for the ultimate husky experience, this all-day safari in Kemi offers just that. The adventure begins at a traditional husky farm, where the eager barks of the dogs signal the excitement ahead. You’ll meet the friendly huskies, learn how they are trained and cared for, and discover the vital role they have played in Arctic culture for centuries. The knowledgeable handlers will show you how to harness the dogs and give you detailed instructions on steering the sled. Soon, you’ll be ready to set off on an extraordinary journey into the wild.

The all-day husky safari covers a longer distance than standard tours, allowing you to explore the vast variety of Lapland’s landscapes. Your team of huskies will pull you through snowy forests, over frozen lakes, and across rolling Arctic plains, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Once the dogs begin running, the air fills with silence and the sound of paws crunching the snow — a magical, peaceful rhythm that only a husky safari can offer.

Throughout the journey, you’ll have the chance to switch between sitting comfortably in the sled and mushing — guiding and driving the husky team yourself. This hands-on experience gives you a deeper appreciation for the dogs’ incredible teamwork and stamina, as well as your own connection to them.

Midway through the day, the group will stop at a traditional wilderness camp, where a warm fire awaits. Your guide will prepare a hearty Lappish meal — often featuring local ingredients such as salmon, reindeer, or vegetable stew — served with hot drinks to warm you from within. This break offers time to rest, chat with your fellow adventurers, and of course, give the huskies plenty of affection and encouragement.

After lunch, the safari continues deeper into the wilderness, covering more ground and giving you the chance to experience different terrains and panoramic views. As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to the farm, where the huskies are rewarded with rest and affection. The bond you’ve built with these energetic animals, along with the memories of the Arctic landscapes, will stay with you long after the sled ride ends.

This all-day husky safari is ideal for adventurous travelers who want more than just a taste of Lapland — it’s a full immersion into the Arctic way of life.
