- 6 km Self-Drive Husky Safari, RovaniemiRovaniemi's most-booked self-drive: 6 km on the runners, two per sled, transfers from town or Santa Claus Village.
- 2.5 km Husky Ride at Santa Claus VillageA musher drives you 2.5 km through the woods: 7 to 12 minutes on the sled, then juice and cookies. Lovely, but short.
- 7 km Self-Drive Husky Safari, LeviThe pick if you're staying in Levi: 7 km on the runners, two per sled, warm drinks and dog time at the farm after.
- Small-Group Husky Safari with Kota Fire, RovaniemiEight guests at most, 6 to 10 km and about 30 to 50 minutes of driving, then sausages and marshmallows by the fire.
- Self-Drive Husky Safari 5 to 8 km, RovaniemiHotel pickup by 4x4, a 5 to 8 km self-drive loop, eight guests at most, and hot sausages by the fire after.
- Self-Drive Husky Morning with Lunch, KirunaA long morning in Swedish Lapland: harness your own dogs, drive across frozen lakes, then soup and fika in a tipi.
- Sit-Down Family Husky Ride, KirunaA guide drives, the whole family sits: sleighs for two adults and three kids, coffee and homemade cake in a tipi.
- Northern Lights Husky Sledding, KirunaSledding in the dark outside Kiruna, eight guests at most, fika by the fire. A chance of aurora, never a promise.
- Reindeer, Huskies & Santa Claus Village DayReindeer, huskies and Santa in one day with salmon soup. Both rides are 500 m: a big day out, not a husky safari.
