Husky Sled Adventurer

Due to the physical requirements of this tour and the extreme weather conditions in Lapland, we don’t recommend Husky Sled Adventurer for children under the age of fifteen.

Although prior experience of husky sledding is not strictly necessary, a degree of physical mobility and stamina is required. The tour does include a full day’s mushing in the wilderness and so may not be suitable for those with medical or complex needs. For those wanting to try husky sledding for the first time and still enjoy the full-length safari, you may want to consider the Aurora Hunter or Northern Lights holidays, which are also part of our Arctic Spirit collection and include other Lapland activities such as snowmobiling.

To confirm the holiday, the deposit is £200 per person. The final balance is due ten weeks before departure, though these terms may differ if you have booked through a travel agent.

Usually, one person ‘mushes’ the husky team, and one person rides as the passenger in the sled, with the opportunity to changeover halfway through the safari. Where there is an odd number of guests, it may be necessary to share with other members of the group or a guide. To ensure weight and balance are spread evenly across the husky sleds, it may sometimes be necessary to change guests around within groups, as the guide instructs.

The currency in Finland is the Euro; the currency in Sweden is the Krona. Many hotels and establishments in the Nordic countries will not accept cash and only accept card payments (the Davvi Arctic Star hotel only accepts card payments, not cash). All Transun optional excursions are advertised in Sterling; credit and debit cards are accepted as payment for excursions booked in resort.
