Amazing Experience - The tour organized by Nordic Adventures Oy was really satisfying. We were promptly picked up by Mr. Jaco, who accompanied us first to the reindeer farm and then to the husky farm. Both experiences were fantastic and, if you have children, I highly recommend them. All were very friendly, kind and helpful to provide any kind of explanation. Special praise goes to our driver Jaco, who waited for us with great patience, told us many details about the tour and the places visited, and brought us back to the hotel on time.

Really lovely day out. - Unfortunately the husky part of this trip was cancelled due to the weather but we were lucky enough to attend the reindeer adventure. It was a really magical day, we got to experience a sled ride and to feed the reindeers. The day ended with some tea/ coffee and lovely biscuits next to an incredible fire.

Artic Animal Combo Safari - Thank you Alex ! Alex was an amazing tour guide. Alex is warm and welcoming to all. The reindeer farm was magical. The reindeer sleigh ride, feeding the reindeers and learning about them. The Husky Farm was good too. Going on a Husky ride then getting to pat some of the dogs and learning about them. Alex gave a good recommendation for a place to eat lunch at Santa's Village.

Up close with the animals - Really good to see how the animals weee treated. The huskies really do get excited when they are ready to run The talk from Hemi on the Huskies was really informative and delivered in a really nice way

Wonderful guide - We had great communication and our guide was fantastic. He had us everywhere we needed to be, on time, and was very well organized. He also answered a lot of our questions about Finland. Our only demerit is the experiences we had were a little short for the price so the value seemed off. However, it’s a very tourist heavy place so I understand that it’s not all within their control. I would rate more like 4.75 if that was an option.

Fine, but... - I'm mixed on this experience. I still put 4 stars because the staff was very kind but I found that the expedition remains very expeditious. The reindeer part is very good but much too short and the same for dogs we arrive put in the sled and it’s over... and the big negative for me is that I have big doubts about the quality of treatment on dogs sled... Apart from that, it's still fantastic scenery and unique experiences

Good tour - Very good tour guide, easy to chat with and knowledgeable with a good tour of the village, although the only negative thing is, they wouldn't do pick up from Ibedcity hostel which isn't far to drive from the hotel they set for pick-up, but enjoyed the tour.

Very artificial and short - Very artificial. The reindeer ride is ridiculously short and to feed them there is a fence and you spend no more than 5 minutes doing it. The explanation after is good, but definitely is not worth the price. The huskies ride was the worst, it is not in the forest, it is around the Santa Claus village, so you see fences, road lights and everything during the ride, it is ridiculous. The dogs look very mistreated, they cry and bark all the time. I have done both tours before in Norway and they were waaaaay different. I would definitely not do it again or recommend

Reindeer great. Huskies disappointing - We did the arctic animals safari and found it a little disappointing.... The reindeer park was lovely and really enjoyed it although jt wasnt a "self driving trip" as advertised. Someone walks the reindeer along whilst you sit in the sledge. But we all enjoyed the reindeer alot. Feeding then etc was fun and we learnt alot about them. The husky part however, was the most disappointing. It was at husky park in santa village. Nothing was as advertised and we felt more like in a conveyor belt to get in and hurry up and get out (as clearly the tour operator had another trip). The husky ride isn't on a proper sleigh but on wheels (this may have been due to not enough snow however). We didn't get a tour of the kennel. And the "unique chance to pet the dogs" involved one dog in the hut at the end where we had hot drinks and there were about 15 people to one dog. We didn't question it at the time as didn't know the tour had ended once we sat down in thr hut. No information was given by the guide. In summary I wouldn't chose husky encounter with this operator. You would be better off sorting it out privately if you want a truly engaging husky trip and perhaps a more private husky farm to have a nicer experience. Kids had a good time nonetheless but adults felt disappointed as the trip was falsely advertised.
