DAY 1

9:30 REINDEER & HUSKY SUMMER EXPERIENCE (4 hours)

This summer combo will offer you a great insight into reindeer and huskies, two iconic Arctic animals. Your guide will first drive you to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Lapland, located on the lovely shores of a peaceful lake next to Rovaniemi. As you will be taken into the surroundings, you will learn about the reindeer from the herders and will be given a chance to feed them their favourite food. After this great time with the reindeer, your guide will take you to the husky kennel to meet the excited dogs. The mushers will greet you at their farm, and so will the barking of their lovely huskies. The mushers will take time to share their lifestyle, explain to you what the job of a musher consists of, how they train their dogs and answer all your questions. All the dogs are very photo enthusiasts, so do not forget to bring your camera with you! Hot beverages and cookies included (not lunch).

21:00 WILDERNESS SURVIVAL TOUR (3 hours)

Hike with your outdoor guide in the Taïga forest under the colours of a never-setting sun and learn about wildlife, the plants and their properties, how to make a fire, and some basic survival skills. Special attention will be given to the warm colours offered by the Midnight Sun and the special atmosphere of an evening hike in the Taiga forest. This tour is indeed a perfect opportunity for all those of you who are nature lovers and photo enthusiasts! BBQ snack included.
