We collaborate solely with local, zealous mushers who regard their dog teams as part of their family. You’ll get to grasp the essence of this exciting sport during your hour-long journey through the frosty woods. You’ll experience a traditional dogsled ride, either sitting or standing, as the eight-canine team guides you and your companion at a pace that’s both relaxing and exciting. You’ll also get the opportunity to visit the dog kennels and a representation of a dog-sled race checkpoint, the point where competitive mushers pause for energy replenishment and respite during their strenuous wintertime races.
During your reindeer tour, our knowledgeable reindeer caretakers will familiarise you with the reindeer herd at Borealis Basecamp, and you’ll enjoy a pleasant short stroll through the woods with these extraordinary creatures. The tour concludes at the reindeer enclosure, where you’ll get a chance to feed the reindeer their cherished snacks and take some memorable pictures!
