Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Designed for dog lovers, adventurers and kids of all ages, this fun experience takes you into the verdant woods of Nuuksio National Park, a pristine landscape of meandering streams, meadows and valleys, and easily-trod forest trails. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by your experienced nature guide and professional sled dogs attached to a safety harness that adults will use to walk the huskies along the approximately five-kilometer (three-mile) trail. Commune with nature as you smell the fresh air and enjoy the quietness of the forest. Along the way, the guide will share stories about the lives of the huskies and about your surroundings, home to dozens of endangered or near threatened species. Soon, you'll reach an open-air fireplace where you're invited to grill your own sausage and relax with fresh coffee. Upon your return to Helsinki, your coach will pass by many of the city's most popular sights.

Special Notes:

Guests must be able to walk the five kilometer (three mile) forest trail. Children must be able to keep up with the group. Wear good hiking, trekking or sturdy shoes, outdoor clothing according to the weather. Not recommended for wheelchair users. These are strong, professional sled dogs attached to a safety harness and be advised that only adults will be allowed to walk them.
