9:15am - Husky Safari (2.5 Hours)

After a short drive from town, you’ll arrive at a husky kennel, where friendly huskies will enthusiastically welcome you. Before departing on the safari, you will be instructed how to control the sleds. This safari allows you to experience something unique: the ties between the musher and the dogs formed on a joint expedition into the wilderness. You soon learn that behind its icy-blue gaze, a husky is a friendly canine character who works closely with people. Once you return to the kennel, you can enjoy hot berry juice by an open fire and chat away with the musher about these amazing northern animals.

Afternoon at leisure

OPTIONAL TOUR

09:00pm - Mystery of Aurora Borealis

Embark on a northern lights trip and get out of the city lights. Heading outside Rovaniemi city and following the riverside road north, the ride will get you to the best spot to see Northern Lights but be patient as the Aurora loves playing hide-and-seek; you never know when they will show up! While observing nature’s own theatrical performance you fry sausages and traditional Finnish ‘tikkupulla’ surrounded by the great aroma of the fire. This relaxing escape will definitely satisfy all of your senses.
