Day-length, multi-day & aurora husky safaris

First decide between a 'single-day' or a 'multi-day' safari. The single-day category includes our 'core' safaris, available at short notice on tracks we keep open all winter. All other products need some pre-booking, so we have time to prepare the wilderness cabins we visit and the food we serve.

Husky homestead visits

If you simply wish to visit the homestead, learn about the life of sled dogs and guides and meet the dogs, you are welcome to drop by any time of year. The dogs (especially the pups) are friendly and sociable, and love optional extras like a training walk, an agility course session or a GEE HAW maze challenge.

Warm-weather activities

In addition to farm visits, summer visitors may like to take part in our multi-activity adventure days, canoe journeys or husky hikes.

Aurora chasing in autumn & winter

Our week-long northern lights multi-activity packages run in autumn, alongside our husky guide school, Lappish bushcraft courses and husky-training camps. Autumn is our main dog-training season, and would-be mushers are welcome to join our conditioning camps.

Husky-guide training

We have a range of training schemes available to those of you who have been fully bitten by the husky / mushing bug. You can join us for anything from one day (for a taster experience) to a year (for gap-year placements) if you are interested in the 'behind-the-scenes' life of a husky guide.
