Life on our farm enjoys a special atmosphere with the seasonal changes experienced on the Arctic Circle. Every day our lives revolve around reindeer, even if they freely roam the wilds for some parts of the year.

Arctic Circle Husky Park has operated next to Santa Claus Village for several decades. At the moment there are about 100 huskies in the park. And once in a while we’ll get puppies, so there is usually puppies or at least youngsters in the park.

This can be seen for example in fencing placing, which is unusual in this kind of operations, and also in dog feeding.

A great family tour - This was a much anticipated tour for our family of four, including our two teenage children. We had high expectations due to the price tag and it did not disappoint. Pedro, our tour guide was lovely and it was a small group so we got around easily. The husky ride was the highlight although we also loved meeting Santa and the reindeer ride. The only disappointment was around 2 hours of free time in the middle of the day. This was a little long with it being so cold.

Great experience ! - The reinders farm visit was very interesting both by the interactions with the reinders and by all the explanations about the life at the farm and the life of the reinders provided by the family that own the farm. The experience with husky was entertaining too. We were a small group (7 persons) so our guide Alex takes time to explain us about the life in Lapland, he was kind and disponible.

Reindeer and Husky Safari - The two parks are separated, we firstly visited the Reindeer farm (which was around 15mins from city center), we fed them and experienced the reindeer ride for about 1km, it was very interesting, fun and worthy. Afterwards, we were given some food and drinks, set by the fireplace in a nice wooden house, where the guide shared many stories and facts about the reindeers and wild animals in the forest. On the other hand, the husky farm was located in the Santa Clause village, and we can see small houses for huskies in the husky farm. The husky ride was about 10-15 minutes which was quite different from the reindeer ride, the road trip was longer and the huskies ran a bit faster. It was amazing to sit on a sled and see the beautiful snow view of forest. Also our driver Alex is so nice and we had a great chat with him.

Reindeers and huskies safari - Unforgettable experience ! We were met by Alex our "personnel" guide for the day as it was only the two of us for the activities. Both the reindeers farm and the huskies ride were amazing. We felt very welcomed, had the time to take pictures, ask questions, we also had drinks and biscuits etc ... Alex, our guide, was very nice and friendly and had answers to all our questions ! I would really recommend doing it as it is a once in a lifetime experience ! And the team at Nordic Adventures is really good.

Once in a lifetime experience with support from an exceptional team - Excellent customer service from booking to delivery. Robin from the Nordic Adventures team was exceptionally helpful answering questions from my over-excited 8 year old throughout the morning. I was so pleased to discover this was a private trip on arrival. Tina, the guide at the Reindeer Farm was lovely, kind, interesting, full of knowledge about her animals. The reindeer ride was exhilarating and the sled with husky's an absolute once in a lifetime experience which shouldn't be missed. Highly recommended. Worth every penny!
