Husky Intro by bus

Head out. Be here. Bring home the story.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your day in the north.

The welcome at a husky farm is rarely a quiet one. These dogs have places to go—and they’re very pleased you’ve come along for the ride!

We’ll take you to the farm by bus, where the mushers introduce their teams and explain how the outing works. Then it’s time to head down the trail on an approximately 9 km husky ride. Feel the sled move beneath you as the dogs get to work and the snowy landscape opens up ahead.

Afterwards, we’ll gather for hot drinks and cookies, with time to ask about the huskies and the lives they lead. The bus takes care of the journey home; you can think about which dog stole your heart.
