Im Polarwinter ist es halt dunkel - daher sieht man von der ansonsten beeindruckenden Landschaft leider nicht so viel. Beim nächsten mal würden wir daher die Tour ab 10:00 Uhr buchen.
Alle Mitarbeiter waren wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wer Hunde liebt wird begeistert sein. Es ist schon überwältigend zu erleben mit welcher Begeisterung und geradezu Gier die Hunde einen Schltten mit vier Personen + Musher durch die Wildniss ziehen können - und das über eine lange Strecke. Selbst Steigungen waren kein Problem - ein Pfiff vom Musher und die Hunde haben beschleunigt.
Die Tour haben wir als insgesamt zu kurz empfunden. Auch der Aufenthalt im "Tippi" mit Kaffee und Zimtschnecke war für mich zu knapp. Allerdings ist das natürlich nur meine persönliche EInschätzung.
Mit der zur Verfügung gestellten Bekleidung (vor allem den Stiefeln) waren die Temperaturen absolut kein Problem.
Trotzdem war es ein gelungener Abend und eine tolle Erfahrung.
Insgesamt empfehlenswert! read less

We had a time with the dogs, and our guide explain us a lot about them, and about the kennel. We even could see a render hanging out in the forest while riding with the dogs! The landscape in Lapland took my breath away.
Thank you to all the staff, and of course, all the dogs! read less

Jordana and her family were very friendly and got us very good explanations during the Kenneltour. We felt very confortable and welcome. The dohs are very cute and social and so we could pet a few of them. Thanks a lot for this opportunity and the great evening 😊 … read less

We were picked up from Kiruna in a car and driven 30 min all the way out to the location. The service was outstanding, and all the personelle were incredible. Once we arrived, we were all given overalls, boots, and gloves and hats if we needed them to keep warm on the sleds. The dogs were amazingly hard workers and quite cute and friendly too. You could tell the dogs loved running and it was great fun. We also got to meet some of the cute puppies at the end, and even hold them! The workers all loved the dogs and you could tell how well the knew all their dogs. They were also happy to talk about the dogs, Sweden, Kiruna, travel, any topic we brought up. The guides with us on the sled were very knowledgeable and definitely added to the experience. It was very easy to communicate with them via email (I booked while still in Australia and it was easy to send an email asking questions and have them respond in a clear, friendly manner rather quickly, accounting for the time difference). We will definitely be coming back next time we visit sweden to do one of the longer, over night tours. read less

They provide everyone with proper winter overalls, gloves and shoes. One thing you might want to bring is some sort of ski-mask/face warmer in case it's really cold the day you go on this tour. We had around -11 Celsius so it was fine, but if it drops to -20 or colder you'll definitely feel it on your fade. read less

Even though we chose a non-busy day (just the 2 of us), the guide took a lot of time to explain us how to drive the sled and how to leash the dogs. After all dogs have been personally introduced, we were ready to start a 1,5 hours trip through a winter wonderland. Back in the camp they welcomed us with warm coffee/tea, a cinnamon bun and a warm, traditional, fire heated tipi. The tour ended with a cuddle tour through most of the kernels and of course with puppies :)
I would recommend this tour to everybody who loves to be outside in the wilderness and the appearance of happy and wonderful dogs. We were not treated like tourists, we have been guests! read less

No matter if you want to mush “drive” your own sled or you want to sit back and ride you will have “The Ride of your life”. The dogs are all amazing and just want to run, they are very well looked after and you can see the care and love they get from all the handlers. It really is a memorable experience. read less

Not only did we have an amazing time driving our own sleigh but also setting up our own team, giving them snacks afterwards, bringing them back to their home and cuddle them. One dog just had puppies that we could visit. All dogs were extremely well behaved. Our tour guide Lisa was amazing and told us so much about the husky farm and their dogs. We would definitely do it again. It is recommendable for everyone, whether for families or for couples. read less

We chanced on Husky Tours Lapland and chose it because it was affordable and had competitive pricing. We got picked up at the Tourist Centre, Lisa helped us dress up in a warm coverall and Addy/Aggy(?) was our guide. Everyone was super SUPER friendly. It didn’t feel like a tour or anything distant like that. Felt like we were hanging out with some friends who were very patiently teaching us how to handle the dogs. During the ride we were lucky to get to see a moose! We loved that we even got to feed the huskies after our ride and got to learn how to unharness them. I would also like to say that I really really loved Reina (one of the huskies on our team). She’s an absolute sweetheart. Throughout the run, she kept turning her head back to check on us. You could tell she loved running because after the run, when she was put back into her doghouse, she stood by the door and looked at us forlornly. I truly will miss her!! After the tour, our guide even gave us a tour of the kennel and we got to meet and play with the newborn puppies!! Would thoroughly recommend this tour!! Thanks Husky Tours Lapland’s team and to all the lovely huskies too!! read less

Everything was very well organized, all the people from the Husky farm were very friendly and we got a lot of information about the dogs, their training, the sledges and racings! It was all very interesting!!! The sledge tour was great and we also were really lucky with the weather! ☀️
At the end we were allowed to cuddle with some puppies! 😍 🐕Thanks a lot Husky Tour Lapland Team!!! We learned a lot and had great fun!!! 🙂 read less

The dogs were brilliant and gave us the trip of a lifetime. The company runs a smooth operation with pick up in Kiruna, dressing us warmly at the camp and then providing a cup of tea and cinnamon scroll at a tipee, where we stopped to enjoy the very best nature can provide. The dogs are well looked after and loved by all at the company , don’t miss out on this amazing experience when in Kiruna. read less

I have just come back from a week with Husky Tours Lapland, as part of a charity challenge, and it was absolutely PHENOMENAL!

This is the most authentic tour you will find and as it is across private land, you will not come across any other tours or people!

On arrival we were provided with all the correct gear to go over our own base layers, to stay warm out on the sled. Then we had tea and cinnamon buns around a roaring fire pit so we could all get acquainted.

Jordanna and Kent gave us a full briefing on how to drive our sleds, harness and look after our team of dogs. We then headed out for a couple fo hours to get to grips with our sleds across the winter landscape.

On arrival back to base, we were greeted with a fabulous hearty homemade meal from Jordanna, which we enjoyed around the fire pit. That evening we stayed in a Sami teepee and Jordanna gave us an overview of the Sami culture. Before we settled down for the night, we were “treated” to a show of the magnificant Northern Lights.

The following morning we headed out to the wildness cabin with Kent, where we spent the next few nights.

Each day we drove our sleds on some spectacular routes across various terrains to get the very best out of our challenge. We were fully briefed on what to do if we fell off, ( and I did indeed fall off ) if we couldn’t get back up by ourselves, Kent was always on hand to give up a lift back up. I fell off a few times and never hurt myself, I always felt in safe hands with Kent.

The wilderness cabin was AWESOME and despite no running water or electricity it was comfortable and cosy. We manually drilled down on the frozen lake for our water and candles and a roaring fire kept us cosy and warm. The home cooking from Jordanna was superb and plenty it go round.

The dogs are absolutely incredible, they love attention and cuddles.
The love and passion Jordanna, Kent and the team have for their dogs is obvious, these dogs are very well breed and very looked after. It’s like one big family.

I had the most AMAZING experience and even cried when I had to say goodbye to my gorgeous team of dogs, Rex, Marco,Kiara and Aqua.

I was totally blown away with such an unforgettable magical experience.
I’m already planning my return.

Thank you Jordanna and Kent for being the most amazing hosts. read less

So much fun being the passenger and half way we stopped to swap and I then became the driver. Even more fun. We stopped for lunch in a small wooden hut. We had a delicious soup and Swedish bread and cheese.
We then went snowshoe walking and our guide talked us through the wild life which was very informative.
A brilliant trip and one to be recommended!!! read less
