PLEASE NOTE FOR ALL SAFARIS
At least one adult must always drive the sled.
We always aim to fill the sleds: one sled can carry two adults and possibly one or two small children.
If there are two adults in one sled, it's possible to switch drivers at the halfway point.
Children under 18 years of age are not allowed to drive the sled. In rare cases, and only in safe conditions, our safari guides may allow exceptions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN
Children under 4 years old cannot participate in the safaris for safety reasons.
Husky excursions can be physically demanding and participants may be exposed to different kinds of physical strain. Therefore, in order to avoid any complications and to guarantee the safety of all participants, husky program are not suitable for pregnant women due to vibrations of uneven tracks.
Please Note: Sled Arrangements & Transportation
We cannot guarantee that your whole family will ride in the same sled.
A small child may sit on an adult’s lap, but if the children are too big to share a sled comfortably, we may need to split the group, placing one adult in another sled with other guests.
Final seating arrangements are made on-site, based on safety and group size.
