Hunting Northern Lights with Husky

Very expensive for the 15 minutes in a sled dog piled up with two other people on our sled...... and a lot of waiting for the other members of the group to do the activity. Nevertheless the ride is a nice experience, and the group leaders very nice. But a bit catches tourist in the sense lack of authenticity of the experience

Although the husky dog ride was awesome and the owners of the dogs very nice and enjoyable to talk to (as well as informative!) the tour felt very rushed . No one took us to hunt for northern lights (even though it was a very active night for the lights that night) which was 100% supposed to be included. This tour was nearly $600 for me and my husband and we used other tour companies for MUCH less on this trip who spent over 8 hours hunting with us AND included professional picture in the price (for around $90 a person) . Very disappointed . The price was much too high for the short experience (and the advertising is VERY misleading) Coming from a very experienced traveler, having booked MANY if these type tours, I do NOT recommend.

£191.20 PER PERSON- for a 13 minute husky sleigh ride, followed by being led to a small kuta (hut with a fire place) so the guides could talk along themselves with 2 or 3 groups of people wedged into a small hut. The guides made absolutely no effort to then go and try and see the northern lights, you pay £191.20 per person for a 13 minute sleigh ride, the dogs were great but for a 3.5 hr tour I expected a lot more, so many other guides offer this experience but for a lot better value for money; please do your research before making the same mistake we did. A complete rip off.

very poor service, hardly any information on farm fashion merely brought to the farm made directly the Husky Tour and then back again in the buses. Very dry, hardly worth cooperation for the money.

5km sleigh tour with huskies. Booked and paid before seeing the condition of the dogs on yesterday's excursion, otherwise I would no longer have booked to boycott such an activity. I have to say that this agency gave me a completely different impression already from 'entering the store. The cleanest well-groomed clothing, the smallest clientele. The place we went was beautiful, in the snow-filled forests on a frozen lake. We were welcomed under the traditional tent to sip a warm blueberry juice alas industrial and diluted and ginger biscuits, in Ikea type envelope. From the forest howling dogs, for want to run with the.sled or run away far??? The la.sled ride with lots of musher lasted 25m and it was beautiful but very very cold given that the temperatures that day were below 26 degrees but perceived 34.At the end of the ride we petted and thanked the dogs who were allowed a bowl with water and kibble. I leave my heart to these poor dogs Lapland forced to tow and tow

It’s terrible. Don’t fall for it. DO NOT do both things below : book through Nordic and go for this scamming activity. This was what happened: 1. It was not magical as it described on the website. We were being brought to a “husky farm” after about 40min coach ride. There wasn’t a proper toilet for guests to use before or after the husky ride. 2. There was no proper briefing to tell you what to expect during the ride. No talking to you about the life of the huskies. Most of the dogs don’t look like husky at all. They looked really like mongrels. 3. We were hurried to the sled after some hot berry juice in the tipi. 4. The dogs ran for about 4km to 5km to “chase” the northern lights. Which there were nothing to see although the sky were clear. The guide driving the sled did not stop at any point at all to allow us to see if there are activities in the sky. 5. After the ride, came down from the sled and we were asked to return to the coach. 6. At this point, the co-guide told us that they will bring us to try to catch aurora at a nearby forest area. 7. The bus wanted to turn into the forest area (there were many other tour buses already there), but Massi, the main guide stopped the driver and told him that Nordic office instructed him to return to the office. 8. We then asked Massi why. He gave a few crappy reasons. He said A) We already caught the aurora earlier during the husky ride, so there wasn’t a need to continue the chase. B) the tour we booked is only for 5km distance which already covered by the husky. This was rubbish. C) We paid lower price package. Again it’s rubbish because we paid 189 Euros! Guys, if you are reading this. Please do not fall for the description. We had done top notch Husky ride experience in another city in Finland. This offered by Nordic was the worst experience we had in Finland. Nordic offered us some refunds but offered zero explanation on why they screwed up our tour experience.

The tour guide that brought us to the husky place was good despite we did not manage to catch the northern lights. Special credit to the musher who took us for the husky ride was patient and explained to us on the different characteristics of the dogs and the different role that each dog has. However the owner that greeted us at the husky place is kind of hostile and bad attitude.

We did the husky and northern lights tour. We knew the northern lights might not work out so thought it was best to have one guaranteed successful part. Luckily we had success with both! It seems as long as the skies aren’t cloudy, the northern lights will be likely to show. Dress warmly for the husky tour. My daughter wore runners and her feet froze not she was still happy overall. Great experience!

Both tour guides were good and knowledgeable Fun husky ride Sadly no northern lights as to much cloud cover

The husky ride was amazing, as was meeting the dogs afterwards. The sleigh driver/owner was wonderful and had plenty of time to chat. Driving on the lake at night was also great. For the price though the BBQ was very lacking, although our guides were very friendly.
