For hundreds of years dog sleds have moved people around in the Arctic. Hunters, seal hunters, fishermen and later also the post office, police and border guards used this in means of transportation, since it was reliable also in difficult circumstances. At this summery escapade you get to drive your own husky summer carriage! Our route goes through pristine forests. I bet that after you have met our huskies you will not be surprised why they are one of the most loved animals of the north!
Driving a summer carriage pulled by Siberian Huskies is quite different to sleds! Before the departure, our guide will give you instructions on how to drive the carriage. Pick up and drop off is included to this activity. Are you ready to adventure?
