Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just back from a 3-night adventure in Saariselka and am feeling very sad to be back! I travelled with my almost 8-year-old son and we booked a couple of Aurora Hunting trips with Aiva from Husky & Co.

Although the lights didn't appear much while we were on our trips Aiva went out of his way by showing us various different and magnificent locations and offering to work longer hours to try and give us the experience we so desperately sought.

We did in the end see a faint green glow, which was a blessed relief for us all and it was a pleasure to learn so much from Aiva over the course of the two evenings. Thank you! I have already checked out trips back to Lapland next winter and if I do come back, I would definitely use Husky & Co again. Plus, after reading some of these reviews, I would book a husky trip with them too!

If you like dogs, husky safari is a must! It was an amazing experience! The landscape was very beautiful and the dogs were so excited about the ride they made. It was really fantastic to see how happy are all the dogs in the Husky & co company. We had August as a guide. He was caring and he gladly answered all my numerous questions. We had a ride, then could pet the dogs, then had time to communicate and pet the puppies (so lovely, including their mother), and in the end, we had a nice cup of tea in a hut with a fireplace. Great! Simply great!

We had a great couple of hours driving Snow Mobiles over the Fells and through the forest. We were lucky with the weather which made the experience even better. The hosts were friendly but made you aware of all safety instructions and they were very professional.

The scenery was amazing and there were a couple of stops to take photos. Halfway we stopped for a hot drink and snack and you had the opportunity to change drivers if you so desired as the snowmobiles take two passengers.

The only addition to this trip, that would have made it even more enjoyable, would have been the opportunity to open up the snowmobiles over a large piece of flat land and go a bit faster for those that wanted to have a bit more of an adrenalin rush, Even if this was only a 10 minute addition.

Great to get your first taste of snowmobiling. Aiva was an excellent guide who gave clear directions, was flexible and made the most of the excursion, given the overall skills of the group and the weather conditions.

Wow what an experience.. such a fabulous place to experience the thrill of being pulled by 6 huskies. The dogs were rearing to get going when we were getting into sleighs. We had a journey through snow filled forest like narnia scene it was soo amazing. Be prepared for passengers its cold.. bring hand and foot warmers.. great staff who love their dogs and very indept chat afterwards around the fire about them. We had a injured party and unable to do scheduled snowmobile excursion previous evening but staff were very accommodating and thoughtful which we really appreciated. Great company,great staff, happy dogs happy family day out 🙂

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I absolutely loved it and it’s very straight forward to do. The guys sorting the rides were lovely.

We did the Husky ride and Snowmobile trip. Great experience on both, well organised, professionally run and all the team we’re friendly and helpful. A new life experience we will never forget - who new I could ride a Husky sleigh!

Tip - they provide all the gear if you need it - just wear lots and lots of layers, it’s cold!

Check the liability before booking the snow mobile tour
There was no problem with the staff or service however the limitation of liability is very high compared to other operators (this is the maximum you have to pay of you damage the snow mobile
)
It cost me 1,200 euro for a minor accident in the snow mobile when I strayed 1 m off the track (could not see the edge due to the large amount of blown snow and no markers) it was impossible to follow the guide tracks as the blowing snow covered them

Here are the things to think about (that I did not before booking)
1. The snow mobiles are very fragile, and very expensive to repair
2. You can follow the guide but the track edges are not fully marked so never stray more than a few CM from their tracks
3. Snow mobile or skidoo activities are generally not covered by general travel insurance
4. husky & co have a liability cap of $2,500 euros - this was recently increased from 1,200 euros - I saw other snow mobile tours with a cap of 900 euros
5. You have no power to challenge the amount for the repair (unless you are an experienced snow mobile engineer ) so the company can charge you what they like without come back

My recommendations are
- shop around for other providers with lower liability limits (2,500 euros is too high and is typically the same as for a hire car worth 5 times the amount of a snow mobile)
- try and get travel insurance that covers you for accident repair liability

If you have this peace of mind then you can enjoy the experience instead of focusing 100% on not crashing the snow mobile

Dear Stephen, Thank You for choosing us for your snowmobile and husky experiences. Unfortunately, snowmobile accidents happen, and our customers are warned about the accidents and self risk liability fee beforehand. Good point of you, to mention of having travel insurance that covers the snowmobile tours - anyhow, that is not our company responsibility. With us, everyone signs the paper, where they agree, that they are responsible for the machines they are driving, and everyone that are scared, are welcome to participate in the sledge. In regards of your accident, it may looked minor, but as you mentioned, snowmobiles are very fragile and we had to change 4 parts which were seen immediately after the accident, and more damage of cracked parts came later, when snowmobile was dissembled. We are located in the small village, where prices are higher than in the cities, or Southern Finland, and it takes longer to get the service here. The snowmobile tracks are public and maintained not by us. Keeping in mind, that safaris are happening in the open areas, or forests, the weather conditions are not always perfect, that is true. You were offered to get a breakdown of the pricing, which you did not come back to take. In no means we are charging unfair, most of the times, there are parts that we cover ourselves as they come out later, when we start fixing. It is never pleasant neither for customers, guides and other staff when accidents happen, and we need to charge extra. For the same reason, you were given a discount on the husky safaris for your family. Anyhow, thank you for choosing us again! Kind Regards, Indre

The most exhilarating experience! Wonderful dogs, in their element working together through beautiful scenery. Being able to pet them afterwards was a real treat. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff who clearly have a passion for what they do and the animals they care for. Memories to cherish - thank you! Kate
