Amazing from the beginning to the end - We were a family of 5 and couldn’t wait for this activity. Myself and hubby did the self drive in Norway years ago and now it was time for the kids to feel it. We were taken from the city centre by a shuttle bus to Apukka resort. Then clothing and boots were provided. Then the guides took us to the husky farm and gave us instructions how to lead the dogs and the sleigh . The huskies were so excited to run. The ride took an hour in a private forest land. After that we were able to pet the dogs and then they took us to a tent near the fire and gave us a local juice from berries and apple and biscuits. After that we were taken to see the puppies, they were adorable. While we were at the dressing house to change our clothes, I peaked into the reception area and found the restaurant there was offering a buffet. So we took advantage of it and had lunch there. We explored the area with the live cam, the swing, kids were playing with the snow and sledding and we peaked into the reindeer farm too. After a few hours we took the shuttle back to the city centre. All I all was an absolutely great experience. We all enjoyed it. The people were lovely and you can take whichever shuttle you want, there is a timetable.

super afternoon exeprience - manic about animal welfare, i was delighted to see how fit and well cared for the dogs seemed . People seem to confuse real animals with Disney ones in their reviews and expect automatons . the ride was a super length and to see the puppies after was very special treat - loved the big black lab, who belongs to the owner who gets everyone to play with him too an experience so enchanting you forget to feel the cold ......

Brilliant - So much fun , definitely recommend this tour , very friendly staff and knowledgeable. The huskey ride was amazing !

Nice husky ride - The husky ride tour guide is very good and nice person... She guide us all along the husky ride journey... The husky ride is very fun and I will definitely recommend to my friend 😍

Making memories - My 1st dog sledding and it did not disappoint. Beautiful resort with a nice adventure center. Easy to follow instructions on driving the sleigh. After the trip we were offered hot juice and cookies by a fire. I wish o had booked other excursions with this tour operator. Lifetime memories were made to hold and cherish for a lifetime.

Great! - Thanks to Fanny at the front desk we were able to register at the last minute. It was autumn so no snow but what was good!!! I forgot the name of our guide but she was really passionate and an invaluable source of information. The dogs are beautiful, we had a long visit afterwards where we learned a lot. It was very interesting.

Fantastic Husky sleigh ride - Fantastic! Everything went smoothly, the bus transfer from Roveneimi city, all the cold weather gear you need is supplied, the sleigh was ready for us, the huskies are very well cared for and clearly love their job. Not cheap but absolutely worth the money.

Good dogs, horrible pickup and customer service - The husky experience itself was positive, albeit a bit short for the cost. We met the guide, learned how to use the sled, and drove the sled for 45 minutes or so, and then got to pet and take photos with the dogs, who were adorable. However, beware of the pickup and customer service! We were waiting indoors on a -15 degree day, with clear sightlines to the outdoor bus stop in Santa's village where the bus was supposed to pick us up. We were there 5 minutes early, and the bus had not arrived yet. Even though we got out to the bus stop right on time, and the bus had already left!! The customer support was rude and offered no help, saying if we don't find our own way to the resort within the next few minutes, our experience was forfeit. I've never seen a pickup service leave immediately upon arrival, without even checking for missing passengers. If we hadn't immediately found transportation, we would've lost over 300 euros on the spot. Book at your own risk!

Questioning - Very careless staff with tourists and animals. Several dogs are obviously too agitated for inexperienced tourists to control and staff do not try to calm them down or replace those that do not seem safe. During the wait before the departure, several dogs were fighting among themselves and the staff was only shouting at them. The person behind us could not control the dogs from his sled, extremely agitated before the departure. He passed us en route, hitting us - our sled was pushed slightly off the trail. The lady who accompanied us began to mutter in an unkind manner. After this incident, the dogs of the same sled started shooting in a disorganized way, each in its own way - the sled was no longer advancing. The lady didn't even intervene to help them. For us, everything went well, but it was worrying to see the lack of support for the people who seemed to be struggling behind us. The scenery was beautiful, the dogs endearing and very eager for affectionate interactions, but one can enjoy it by avoiding encouraging this type of catch-and-see activity that seems so unethical - unfortunately, I realized it after having this experience...

Extremely Disorganized and Concerning Treatment of Dogs - I’m very disappointed with this husky sledding experience in Lapland. From start to finish, the activity was poorly organized and deeply concerning from an ethical standpoint. We were left waiting around 20–30 minutes before the activity even began because the guides couldn’t get the dogs under control. The dogs were extremely agitated and fighting each other, and the team had to repeatedly swap them around before setting off. This made the entire experience feel chaotic and unprofessional. Once the ride finally started, it was disrupted again because one of the female dogs stopped running — the guide mentioned she was too young and it was her first time pulling a sled. The team eventually had to stop the sled midway, remove the dog, and carry her away, which I’ve attached a photo of as evidence. This incident clearly shows how disorganized and unprofessional the activity was. I want to note that I am genuinely worried about the welfare of that dog. I hope that the attached photo is not used in any way that results in the dog being punished or mistreated. My concern is solely to highlight how poorly managed and unethical the experience was — not to cause any harm to the animals involved. What was most upsetting was the guides’ indifference toward the dogs. You would expect people who work so closely with these animals to show care and affection, but instead they seemed detached and unconcerned. It was uncomfortable and sad to watch. At the end of the experience, we were offered tea and biscuits — however, the biscuits were stale and unappetizing, which added to the overall sense of neglect and low quality. This experience was marketed as ethical and animal-friendly, but what I witnessed suggested otherwise. The lack of organization, the use of untrained or too-young dogs, and the disregard for animal welfare made the entire activity distressing and unacceptable. I do not wish to support or contribute financially to this kind of unethical operation in Lapland.
