Husky and Reindeer Excursions

Classic Lapland adventures led by huskies and reindeer

Husky and Reindeer Safaris Through the Arctic Wilderness

Step into a winter postcard and discover the magic of Finnish winter with our husky and reindeer safaris in Ruka, a region with a long-standing reindeer herding tradition and located on the edge of Lapland. These tours are a classic and authentic way to explore snowy landscapes and experience Arctic culture.

Explore the Wilderness with Energetic Huskies

Our husky experiences let you feel the excitement of leading your own dog team. The Husky Day Tour is perfect for those looking for a full adventure across snow-covered trails. If you prefer a shorter ride, the Husky Safari 2h and Husky Taster are ideal choices. These tours are beginner-friendly and great for families too.

Driving a sled through silent forests offers more than just speed. It’s a deep connection with Arctic nature and tradition. Your guide will show you how to control the sled and care for the dogs, making it a hands-on and memorable activity.


Meet the Reindeer and Experience Local Traditions

For a peaceful experience, join one of our reindeer safaris. The Reindeer Sleigh Ride under the Evening Sky takes you on a quiet journey under stars and snow-covered trees, where the only sounds are hooves and sleigh bells.

Want to discover the daily life of a reindeer herder? The Morning Feeding of Hundreds of Reindeer is a rare chance to see these animals up close during their most active time of day.

If you’d like to combine culture and adventure, join our Snowmobile Safari to the Reindeer Farm. You’ll ride through the frozen wilderness before visiting a traditional farm. There, you’ll hear stories by the fire and learn about reindeer husbandry – a way of life deeply rooted in Ruka and across Lapland.

All tours are guided by locals and include winter clothing and equipment. No prior experience is needed – just bring your sense of adventure.


Whether you’re traveling solo, with your partner, or as a family, our husky and reindeer excursions in Ruka offer a deep and enjoyable way to discover Lapland’s natural beauty.
