Meet magnificent Arctic animals and experience husky and reindeer sledding in Rovaniemi!

Rovaniemi is a city in northern Finland, known as the official hometown of Santa Claus and the capital of Lapland. It is a magical destination home to unique Arctic animals! On this reindeer and dog sled ride excursion in Rovaniemi, you will also visit a reindeer farm and husky kennel.

The husky and reindeer visit in Rovaniemi begins with pick-up from the city centre (please specify your location upon booking). An experienced guide will drive you to the traditional reindeer farm. Along the way, you'll pass through mesmerising Lappish landscapes, with snow-covered fields and thick forests. At the reindeer farm, you'll meet the majestic creatures and receive a safety briefing and instructions from the certified guide.

Then, the self-drive reindeer sledding in Rovaniemi begins! You'll control your own reindeer team on a short 500-metre (1640-feet) ride through the snowy wilderness, passing frozen lakes and dazzling icy rivers. After the reindeer sled ride, you'll receive an international reindeer driving license! Then, you'll travel to the husky kennels, home to over 90 husky dogs and puppies. You'll have some time to play and interact with the dogs, before getting set up for your husky sled ride in Rovaniemi!

After a safety briefing, you'll sit in the sled and the experienced musher will take you on a 2 km (1.2 mi) dog sledding ride in Rovaniemi's Arctic nature. Sit back and relax as you ride through the snowfields of Lapland, taking in the beautiful scenery and capturing photos. After returning to the kennels, you'll warm up with some hot berry juice and cookies around a campfire. The guide will teach you about the husky breed, their habits and care. After the husky kennel visit in Rovaniemi, you'll be driven back to your original starting point in the city.

Embark on the ultimate Lappish experience with a husky and reindeer sled ride in Rovaniemi!
