Embark on an unforgettable journey into the snowy wilderness of the Arctic, where you’ll encounter a herd of majestic reindeer in their natural habitat. Your adventure begins with a scenic sleigh ride pulled by a snowmobile, gliding through pristine forests and vast Arctic landscapes. Upon reaching the reindeer, you’ll have the chance to observe them up close, learn about their care, and discover the fascinating traditions of local reindeer herding. Led by a local herder, you’ll gain insight into the year-round cycle of reindeer husbandry and its deep cultural significance. During the experience, enjoy a break in a cozy lean-to hut, where you can warm up by the fire while savoring coffee and local snacks.

Return to Harriniva in the afternoon, where a warm sauna is waiting. Dinner and overnight in the hotel.

After a delicious breakfast our experienced guide will give you driving and safety instructions for driving a snowmobile and it is time to start your engines! (2 persons / snowmobile). A snowmobile is surprisingly easy, even for beginners, and soon you will be speeding through the snow covered forests and over the frozen lakes admiring the vast wilderness of Finnish Lapland.

Lunch is prepared by an open fire in the wilderness. Duration of the excursion approx. 5 hours, distance driven 40-60 km. Return to Harriniva for a warm sauna, dinner and overnight in your cosy wilderness style hotel rooms.

After breakfast you will pack your equipment for the 2-day tour and get acquainted with the huskies!

The husky guide will teach you how to handle the sled and you will meet your team of 4-5 dogs that accompany you for the 2 day safari. Each person drives his own sled. Lunch by an open fire en route. Driving distance is about 25 km.

In the afternoon arrival at your wilderness cabin, where you can test your wilderness skills with making fire, feeding the huskies and heating the lakeside sauna. Overnight in the cabin in shared facilities.
