The husky ride was really wonderful. The dogs were very kind. The sled was easy to steer and we got a good introduction to sled control. The staff was friendly and professional. The sausages tasted good after the trip and it was nice to hear stories about the dogs and the farm :) I warmly recommend the husky safari to everyone!

I have two problems with this tour from Levi. I recently took this tour with my fiance for our honeymoon. We spent the full 8hrs and payed the $600. although the tour was detailed and the ride was amazing i really dont see why it costs so much! My friend took another tour for only $100 and they told me how they got the exact same experience visiting all the same places. Levi get yo mind right and put an acceptable price for this your just ripping off %90 of your customers

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies. Alex was very welcoming and informative. Thanks for this morning.

This review feels special because although we were not lucky enough to view the Northern Lights due to heavy cloud cover, I still think it was one of the most memorable nights in my life! This was due to several firsts - walking on frozen lakes, have a traditional Lappish barbecue out in the wild in biting cold and walking and sinking into knee-deep snow at the same time! Our tour guide, Clement, is very friendly, cheerful and deeply knowledgeable about Finnish culture and Northern Lights! I had a great time discussing our home countries' cultures with each other. For me, it was truly inspirational in how Clement remained cheerful and never gave up hope by moving to different locations to have better chances. Even when it became clear we would not be seeing the Northern Lights that night, he told us how we might be able to see it later from near our hotels! He is a wonderful person and tour guide and I am sure other tourists would greatly enjoy having him as their guide. Oh and also, he is a fantastic photographer! Thank you, Clement and Nordic Unique Travels!
