Great fun with the kids. We did the tour in March when the sun was shining and it was not that cold. Highly recommendable!
Thank you so much for choosing Lapland Royal Adventures! We’re happy to hear you had great fun with the kids and enjoyed the sunny March conditions. Thank you for the recommendation. hope to see you again!
The price remains expensive but it is a real walk of 5kms. Dogs do indeed move very quickly. This allows you to really enjoy the scenery, dogs and musher activity (change along the way possible). We were a group of about twenty people (about 10 sleds) taken in 3 subgroups by a guide on snowmobile which did not give the overtourism feeling that can emerge from the place when one arrives. The staff was very nice and provided explanations clearly. Dogs were for some petting seekers. Staff seem to love what they do and are surrounded by animals. Watch out for the 2nd part of the ride, there is a bit of climbing and sometimes you have to help the dogs, get off and push the sled a little while running in the snow. Nothing impossible but you should know (the guides say it at the beginning of the explanations) so plan rather at the end of the journey someone who will have this ability:) At the end you have the opportunity to pet dogs and take pictures (no one hurries you) and a little moment of explanation/questions with a hot drink is offered to finish the activity.

We absolutely loved the experience. The whole team was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the very beginning. All the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and throughout the entire route we were accompanied by a guide riding a snowmobile in front of us, ensuring everything went smoothly. It was clear that the huskies are very well cared for and in excellent condition. On several occasions, we saw the staff showing them affection and paying close attention to their well-being, which was really reassuring and heartwarming. Overall, we would rate this experience 10/10 and highly recommend it. Kind regards. Martin

Great location appx 10 minute drive from Santas village. Husky's and hounds are clearly loved and looked after. Beautiful setting. Driver picked us up on time and transported us back to Santas village following the trip. Sadly, the tour was extremely understaffed (so they said) had a lack of understanding and customer service. We were picked up at 1pm but didn't set off on our ride until 3pm, so a lot of waiting around in the freezing cold with children. The main two staff who completed the briefing were rude, sharp and inconsiderate. We had flown in to Lapland for the day as a family and had other things booked which we sadly missed due to the delays at royal adventures. The husky ride itself was magical, we were led by Janne who was the only polite member of the team, he clearly saw how disappointed we were and did his best to make our trip special including taking videos, photos and helping with any issues. Hoping we can get in touch with him to get the videos and thank him for making a bad situation slightly more manageable. If you're booking with this company I'd advise you to leave a lot of time to wait around. Next time we'll go elsewhere as for over £450 for the pleasure sadly it wasn't worth it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with Lapland Royal Adventures. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the husky ride itself and the beautiful setting, and that part of the experience was magical. At the same time, we’re truly sorry for the long waiting time and the frustration it caused, especially when traveling with children and having other plans. This is not the level of organization or service we aim to provide. Your comments regarding communication, staffing, and overall customer experience are taken very seriously and will be reviewed internally. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide, who did his best to improve the situation — feedback like this is very important for us. Thank you again for your honest review.
