Funny - An unforgettable experience in Rovaniemi! The 3-hour husky sled ride was magical: gliding through snowy landscapes, surrounded by Arctic nature, is a memory I’ll cherish forever. The guides were incredibly kind, passionately explaining the training of the huskies and offering us warm tea and berry juice during a cozy break. The huskies, full of energy and love for their work, made the adventure even more special. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Lapland!

Amazing 8-10km husky experience - We all did the 8-10km husky experience and thought this was spectacular and fantastic value for money from start to finish. When we arrived the lady explained everything about mushing, we then went for our ride through the forest which was amazing and we even saw wild reindeer! When we arrived back we had hot berry juice and a cinnamon cake around an open fire and chatted to the owner about the dogs, finding out some very interesting facts. We also got to meet the puppies and hold them, such a wonderful amazing experience and we would highly recommend this. Thank you

Great Experience - The huskies are so adorable and they did a good job to pull the sled. The pickup and drop off service is great. Also the workers know their dogs well! It’s a pleasant journey.

Unforgettable Husky Tour with Artiktopia! - From the very start, the communication with Artiktopia was excellent. They promptly answered all of my questions, which made planning the trip easy. When we were picked up from our hotel, our driver, Dimitr (apologies if I’ve misspelled that), was incredibly kind and helpful. During the drive, we had to stop briefly as my daughter was feeling a little car sick, and nothing was too much trouble for Dimitr. He was also very knowledgeable, and the scenic drive to the husky farm was a real pleasure — we even saw plenty of reindeer crossing the roads! Upon arriving at the husky farm, we were immediately enchanted by the place. The dogs, especially the puppies, were absolutely adorable. The lady running the farm gave us clear instructions about what to expect during the husky ride, which made us feel confident and excited for the adventure ahead. The ride itself was incredible — a magical experience through the forest that I still can’t quite believe we had the opportunity to do. After the ride, we were treated to a cozy hut where we toasted marshmallows and enjoyed warm berry juice with the other guests. It was a perfect way to wind down and also a great chance to ask questions and meet the puppies. When choosing a husky sled ride, it’s crucial to support companies that treat their dogs well. Artiktopia clearly values the care of their animals, which was evident throughout the experience. On the drive back, Dimitr even stopped so we could grab a hot dog, adding that extra personal touch. He was so friendly that we decided to book a Northern Lights hunt with him that evening. A huge thank you to everyone at Artiktopia for making our trip to Rovaniemi so memorable and special. We can’t wait to come back! Jo, Mason, and Snoe

Highlight of our Lapland trip - Fantastic experience with our 3 boys, ages 9, 7 and 5. It was everyone's favourite Lapland activity. Snow was a bit doubtful for us at one point prior to the trip (late Nov) but luckily it worked out for us

Disappointing, last minute cancellation - Our activity was cancelled at short notice (less than 48h before the start). Due to the last minute cancellation we could not book an alternative anywhere else (all booked up). I would definitely not book with this provider anymore!
