This is essentially the same mushing product as our arctic mushing week but without the free day for optional activities and the nights pre and post safari in a local hotel. During this mushing-packed product we sled for five full days, covering from 30km to 40km each day.
All of your meals, suitable snow-suits and boots, expert guiding and the five days of husky dogsledding with your own team of huskies are included in the price, as well as wilderness accommodation in a variety of cabins and huts. At least one night is normally spent in a very basic wilderness hut so that you can have a true arctic experience on the high tundra plateau.
- Five full days of mushing, 30–40km per day, with your own dog team
- All meals, snow-suits, boots and expert guiding included
- Optimum group size of six clients per guide
- One night on the high tundra plateau in a basic wilderness hut
- Generally runs Monday to Friday, January to end of April
- Adults €1875; 4 nights' accommodation with full board
Group size
The optimum group size is six clients with a guide. This lets us move easily through the wilderness without too many stops and take advantage of a wide range of hut options. When we combine would-be mushers to reach this size, most people find the shared experience with like-minded adventurers is part of the fun.
If you would like an exclusive safari for just two, or to book as a slightly larger family group, please consider April.
Accommodation & Board
The first night of the tour returns to the homestead where people have the option to spend the evening relaxing in a cosy kota or joining in fully with farm life — including the feeding of 170 odd dogs. The safari's safety presentation is also given on this evening. The 3 remaining nights of the tour are spent in log cabins, only one of which has electricity and a shower. Full board is included throughout.
Clients are responsible for their own airport transfers, board and hotel nights on either side of the safari. If you want help with transfers or room and board either side, please choose one of our package options.

Client Feedback
"My son and I took part in the five day husky safari... it was tough but one of the great experiences of my life. Owner Pasi and the other guides tried to make it as much five star as possible when you are driving a six dog power sled and staying in basic cabins and having a blizzard one day. The scenery is exceptional, they love the dogs and the dogs love everyone... but this is a once in a lifetime thing to do."
"During those three days you got to know your team well, and saying goodbye was difficult. I can recommend Hetta Huskies for everyone who wants to have an experience on the arctic. If you are bored of all-inclusive package holidays, and you want some action and new experiences, go to Hetta."
