Husky sledding is a great experience
To drive a sled you need some level of upper body strength. It was really fun & visiting the kennels was a highlight with the puppies. All the adult dogs were so friendly too. Loved the experience!

Rode out in the forest...
Rode out in the forest and over the lake. Got to meet the dogs and learn about the huskies. Staff was very friendly.

Amazing! Do this tour.
Amazing experience, we went with Kami who was so friendly and informative. This tour is not like the ‘mass tourist’ husky trips you find around Rovaniemi. You will go an hour out to a farm and meet lots of beautiful husky’s taken well care of, the place was clean and the husky’s were very happy and welcoming. The 10km sled ride was excellent, self driven, you just manage the breaks and the husky’s take care of speed and direction, they all seemed happy and well cared for. Highly recommend for those looking for a meaningful sled experience.

Most amazing experience!
This was the most incredible experience and the highlight of our Lapland trip. Staff were all wonderful and the huskies were clearly well loved and cared for. We even got to see the husky puppies which was very special! First, Dimitar arrived to drive us to the kennels. He was kind, polite and easy to talk to. Next we were taught how to drive the sleigh and what to do. We then had a thrilling 10km ride around the forest. It was the most amazing experience and huskies were all beautiful!

Perfect, seamless, professional experience
We had an incredible experience booking our Husky Tour. We had transport directly from our Airbnb to the kennel - Soulmate Kennels - near the Finnish border. The driver was friendly and talkative. The kennel itself was amazing. The dogs looked healthy and the scenery - oh, my, god. Endless taiga forests covered in snow and blue sky above with sunshine peeking through. The husky slushing itself is hard work - I much preferred being in the sleigh! The transport back was flexible and the driver was willing to drop us at Santa’s Village, despite this not expressly being included in the booking. We HIGHLY recommend this tour company.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel cost?
+
Prices start at $271 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 10 km Authentic Husky Safari in the Taiga Forest – Family Kennel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
