If you are looking for a Husky experience, then Husky Tours Lapland are 100% the only ones to book with!!
I have just come back from a week with Husky Tours Lapland, as part of a charity challenge, and it was absolutely PHENOMENAL!
This is the most authentic tour you will find and as it is across private land, you will not come across any other tours or people!
On arrival we were provided with all the correct gear to go over our own base layers, to stay warm out on the sled. Then we had tea and cinnamon buns around a roaring fire pit so we could all get acquainted.
Jordanna and Kent gave us a full briefing on how to drive our sleds, harness and look after our team of dogs. We then headed out for a couple fo hours to get to grips with our sleds across the winter landscape.
On arrival back to base, we were greeted with a fabulous hearty homemade meal from Jordanna, which we enjoyed around the fire pit. That evening we stayed in a Sami teepee and Jordanna gave us an overview of the Sami culture. Before we settled down for the night, we were “treated” to a show of the magnificant Northern Lights.
The following morning we headed out to the wildness cabin with Kent, where we spent the next few nights.
Each day we drove our sleds on some spectacular routes across various terrains to get the very best out of our challenge. We were fully briefed on what to do if we fell off, ( and I did indeed fall off ) if we couldn’t get back up by ourselves, Kent was always on hand to give up a lift back up. I fell off a few times and never hurt myself, I always felt in safe hands with Kent.
The wilderness cabin was AWESOME and despite no running water or electricity it was comfortable and cosy. We manually drilled down on the frozen lake for our water and candles and a roaring fire kept us cosy and warm. The home cooking from Jordanna was superb and plenty it go round.
The dogs are absolutely incredible, they love attention and cuddles.
The love and passion Jordanna, Kent and the team have for their dogs is obvious, these dogs are very well breed and very looked after. It’s like one big family.
I had the most AMAZING experience and even cried when I had to say goodbye to my gorgeous team of dogs, Rex, Marco,Kiara and Aqua.
I was totally blown away with such an unforgettable magical experience.
I’m already planning my return.
Thank you Jordanna and Kent for being the most amazing hosts.
