Took my parents and my two crazy teens on the husky/reindeer/snowmobile combo and honestly, it was EPIC! The snowmobiles were a good laugh, though mum nearly bailed at the first bump. Got to cuddle some super fluffy husky pups (they were THE CUTEST, not even exaggerating). Only thing, the reindeer ride is pretty short, blink and you’ll miss it. Staff kept us topped up with hot chocolate and some weird berry cookies, which my dad kept sneaking in his pockets. If you’re big into Instagram, you can’t take pics during the rides but there’s plenty of time after. Would do again!

We loved it! Family trip with our two boys, and both were obsessed with the dogs. The puppy pen is the real highlight (prepare for kids to never want to leave). The reindeer are gentle but looked a little bored tbh. Snowmobiles were loud but fun, and the scenery is just INSANE. We waited around a bit between activities, but they had this cozy hut with a fire so we just chilled. Bring thick socks, I lost feeling in my toes for like an hour.

I went solo and it was…fine? The snowmobiling part was cool, zooming around the forest, but felt a bit rushed tbh. Got paired with another random guy, which was kinda awks. Huskies are v photogenic but you only get like one minute on the sled. Reindeer ride was even shorter lol. Good thing the guides are chatty and make you laugh. Not sure I’d tell my mates to go unless they’re REAAALLY into animals.

Embark on a 6-hour small-group safari that brings together snowmobiling, huskies, and reindeer for the ultimate Lapland experience. With expert guidance, comfortable transfers, and all the gear provided, you’ll enjoy a seamless mix of adventure, culture, and nature.

Getting started

Begin your journey with convenient transfers from Rovaniemi City Center. Meet your guide at the Snowmobile Park City Office or Safari House, check in with your booking voucher, and show your driver’s license if you plan to drive. Once ready, suit up in warm overalls, boots, gloves, a helmet, and a balaclava, then receive a safety briefing before heading into the snowy wilderness.

What to expect

Husky & Reindeer Experience and Snowmobile Ride

A half-day tour in the stunning Arctic backdrop filled with adventure as you head out on a snowmobile ride, meet the native husky at a husky farm, and visit a reindeer farm too.

Features:

Snowmobiling through the Arctic: Feel the thrill of speed as you ride a shared two-person snowmobile for a full hour. Glide across frozen forests and wide-open trails, stopping briefly for photo opportunities and driver swaps. For families and non-drivers, a sledge option is available so everyone can enjoy the ride.

Meeting the reindeer: Visit a traditional reindeer farm and experience the calm beauty of Lapland’s iconic animals. Climb into a sleigh for a 500m ride pulled gently through the snow, and receive a reindeer driving license as a fun keepsake. Learn about reindeer herding practices and the close bond locals share with these Arctic animals.

Husky encounters: At an Alaskan husky farm, meet the energetic dogs whose excitement is contagious. After introductions, set off on a 500m husky-pulled sleigh ride with up to four guests per sled. Feel their strength as they dash through the landscape, and take time to interact with them afterward.

Warming up: Between adventures, enjoy hot berry juice and biscuits served outdoors, a simple but comforting way to warm your hands and recharge before continuing.

What to bring

Bring your valid driver’s license (class B) if you want to drive a snowmobile. Only original, valid licenses recognizable in English are accepted and copies, photos, or provisional licenses are not.

Keep your voucher or booking confirmation handy, as you may need to show it at check-in.

Dress in thermal layers, fleece, or wool, and add thick socks, gloves, and a hat. We’ll provide overalls, boots, and gloves to keep you warm on top.

Bring protective cases for your camera gear and keep it inside your jacket when not in use to prevent battery drain and condensation issues.

Slip sunglasses and lip balm into your bag to stay comfortable in the bright, snowy landscape.

If you need personal medications, take them with you since the tour lasts about six hours outdoors.

What’s not allowed

Alcohol consumption and intoxication are strictly prohibited during the tour.

Participants without a valid driver’s license cannot operate a snowmobile. Guests arriving without one cannot receive a refund, but may join as passengers or in a sledge.

Leave large bags and bulky luggage at your accommodation, as there’s no space on the transfers or during activities.

Avoid smoking in vehicles, during activities, or near animals.

Accessibility

This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as you’ll need to walk on snowy terrain, board sleighs, and ride snowmobiles.

Additional information

Check your email the day before for your exact meeting time to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Arrive on time at your confirmed pick-up point, as missed departures unfortunately mean missing the safari without a refund.

Two adults share one snowmobile. Groups with an odd number of participants will require one person to ride with another participant.

Children under 2 years old are not recommended to join for safety reasons.

Children aged 1 to 13 can ride safely in a sledge pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. For small kids, we recommend a parent sit with them in the sledge.

Children taller than 140 cm may ride as a snowmobile passenger at full adult price, subject to availability.

Infant seats are available upon request for transfers.

If you drive, you’re responsible for damages up to €950 per snowmobile. You can reduce this to €150 by buying extra insurance on site for €15 before the tour starts.

Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.
