Kemi: Visit a Husky Farm and Husky Safari

The husky is one of Lapland’s most iconic animals — loyal, hardworking, and full of spirit. Visiting a husky farm in Kemi offers the perfect opportunity to meet these incredible dogs up close and experience the thrill of a traditional husky safari.

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at the husky farm, where the cheerful barks of excited dogs will greet you. Knowledgeable handlers will introduce you to the huskies, explain how they are trained and cared for, and share fascinating insights into the tradition of dog sledding in the Arctic. You’ll have the chance to pet the dogs, take photos, and learn about the role they’ve played in Arctic travel and culture for centuries.

After the introduction, it’s time to experience the highlight of the day — the husky safari. Once the team is harnessed and ready, the huskies will eagerly set off, pulling your sled across frozen lakes, snowy forests, and open Arctic plains. The moment the dogs start running, the farmyard’s noise is replaced by silence, broken only by the crunch of sled runners on snow and the steady rhythm of paws moving swiftly across the landscape. The safari gives you the unique sensation of working in harmony with nature, with the dogs’ enthusiasm driving the experience.

Depending on the length of the ride, there will be opportunities to switch between sitting comfortably in the sled and trying your hand at “mushing” — guiding the sled alongside the huskies. Along the way, your guide will make scenic stops, allowing you to take photos and admire the breathtaking Lapland wilderness.

After the safari, you’ll return to the farm for a well-deserved break. Warm drinks and traditional Finnish snacks will be served in a cozy hut, and you’ll have more time to interact with the huskies. Whether you want to ask questions, cuddle the friendliest dogs, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, the husky farm visit ensures memories that last a lifetime.

This combined husky farm visit and safari is suitable for families, couples, and groups, providing the perfect blend of cultural insight, outdoor adventure, and unforgettable animal encounters.
