Most memorable experience of the winter
Husky safari is an unforgettable experience that you will fondly remember for years to come. On a dog sled ride you get to marvel at the gorgeous natural scenery and white snow of Kuusamo and follow the eagerly running huskies.
Hop on a sled and enjoy the thrill of sledding with the huskies!
Experience the joy of driving and relax aboard the sled
The sled team consists of 5 to 6 dogs. There are two people on the sled, one of whom drives and the other sits on the reindeer pelt lined sled. Halfway through the trip we switch drivers, so both passengers get to experience both the joy of driving and relaxing on the sled.
Safe and easy
We provide both driving guidance and safety instructions on all our husky safaris. The guidance makes driving the sled easy, enjoyable and safe. The safari guide drives on a snowmobile in front of the safari and is immediately ready to help should the need arise.
Erä-Susi also provides customers with driving gear such as warm overalls if necessary.
