Wilderness Tour Husky Safari – A Week Exploring Lapland’s Arctic Wilderness

Join our most popular husky safari and spend an unforgettable week exploring Lapland’s untouched winter wilderness. Drive your own sled dog team, embrace the silence of snow-covered forests, and share the experience with a small group of like-minded adventurers (max. 7 guests).

This multi-day husky safari of 7 nights is designed for dog lovers and outdoor enthusiasts who value meaningful adventure, ethical animal treatment, and a deep connection with nature.

In a small group of up to 7 guests, you’ll mush your own team of huskies through the remote mountains and forests of Western Lapland. This is not a passive ride – it’s a true wilderness journey.

What to Expect on Your Husky Safari

Saturday arrivals: Introduction day on Sunday and return to our husky village mid-week.
Wednesday arrivals: Start directly into the wilderness on Thursday.
3–4 nights in simple wilderness cabins (no electricity or running water). You’ll mush up to 60 km per day through fells, frozen swamps and lakes, and deep forests – up to 8 hours daily with your dogs
Take part in team activities: caring for the dogs, chopping wood, cooking, and enjoying the camaraderie of your group.

After returning to the husky village, relax with a warm shower and celebrate your week over dinner with your guide and fellow adventurers.

On your final day, enjoy Lapland at your own pace: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, a snowmobile tour, or simply relaxing by the fire.

Ethical Husky Travel – Our Promise

Äkäskero is not a tourist machine. Our huskies live in family groups, never on chains. They receive lifetime care – we do not retire dogs with a one-way ticket. You may even meet some of our beloved seniors during your stay.

By choosing us, you support a truly ethical husky safari. One where the wellbeing of the dogs comes first. You can read more about philosophy on our brochure.

Physical Requirements – Read Before You Book

To ensure a safe and fulfilling experience for both guests and huskies, participants must meet the following conditions:

Fitness: You must be able to walk and push the sled in deep snow and up hills. Regular physical activity is essential – this is a physically demanding tour, especially in freezing temperatures (down to -40°C).
Age: 16–70 years. Over 70s only by special request.
Weight: 50–100 kg. Too light? Dogs may be hard to control. Too heavy? The burden for the dogs is too hard. We reserve the right to confirm weights on-site.
