Self-Drive 5 km Dog Sledding Excursion from Kemi

Embark on a magical experience in the Arctic landscapes of Finnish Lapland with this self-drive dog sledding excursion from Kemi! Bordered by the Bothnian Bay, Kemi is a beautiful Finnish town near the border with Sweden. Surrounded by stunning Arctic nature and full of rich culture, this coastal town is perfect for experiencing diverse winter activities such as snowmobiling, Northern Lights chases, and, of course, dog sledding.

On the day of your dog sledding excursion from Kemi, you'll get the option of being picked up in certain locations around Kemi or Tornio-Haparanda in Sweden (please check special terms and specify when booking), or simply arrive at the Sea Lapland Safaris headquarters to meet your instructor. There, your instructor will welcome you and distribute the winter overalls, shoes, wool socks, and gloves that you'll use throughout the experience. They'll give you a quick safety briefing and lead you to a car that will transport you to the dog kennel, and once you get there, an expert musher (dog sled driver) will be waiting with a prepared sled. They'll teach you exactly how to handle the dog team and the sled, and once you feel prepared, you'll set off!

The 5-kilometre circuit will take you through stunning frozen swamps and snow-covered forests. Midway through the excursion, you'll be able to stop and have the passenger become the driver, so you both have the chance to experience the thrill of driving a dog sled. And once you return to the kennel, you'll enjoy a hot drink to warm up, then take a tour of the kennel where you can pet the dogs and take photos! Finally, you will be driven back to the location where your tour began, and the experience will come to a close.

All you have to do to prepare for this wonderful 2.5-hour self-drive dog sledding excursion from Kemi is bring warm, comfortable clothing and shoes, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and anything else you might need (medication, sunglasses, extra snacks, etc.) to enjoy a moment out in the Arctic wilderness of Finnish Lapland with some adorable canine guides. Keep in mind that dog sled drivers must be over 18 years old, and children must ride with their parents.
