Time to meet and cuddle the husky puppies
Experience the amazing connection between man and dog. Start your adventure with a lunch in your hotel and get ready to meet your local guide who will take you on a short transfer to the dog yards. Here you will receive an introduction to dog sledding, before the dogs are harnessed and the real fun begins. Three participants will share each specially-made wheeled sled with eight eager huskies in front.
Participants will drive sleds for three people, and have opportunity to drive the sled and to enjoy the scenery as a passenger. Actual driving time is about one and a half hours. The guide will help to harness the dogs, and will lead the sleds with his own team. After the driving, there will be a chance to meet the puppies, and warm up with a hot drink and a chat with your local guide before you embark the ship.
