"This is something you really need to do during your stay in Finland. Nice guides and healthy dogs that really seemed to enjoy running."

"We did a Husky sleigh ride with Extreme Huskies in the middle of March 2019. You get to meet all the dogs up close before the safari starts and you can immediately feel their energy."

" I felt that the guide was really passionate bout the dogs. The group we went on a safari with was comparably small (three sleds + guide) and not overly touristic. Riding a dogsled is a truly unique experience that I can only recommend doing!"
– Emma S. | TripAdvisor
"Landscapes were incredible. You need to focus when you are driving the sleights, but sensations are fantastic. Don’t hesitate, he has so much to tell about where and how he raise and trains the dogs, and he is very friendly."
