When you make your booking, please select the additional product if you require transfers from/to any of the mentioned locations.

What if I have my own car?
We do not allow that you drive to our kennel yourself as our kennel is remote and sometimes challenging to reach. If you are planning to use your own car for the transfers, please select the local shop with free parking of K-Market Sinettä as your dedicated pickup point and our driver will pick you up from there, to make sure you will arrive to our kennel safely.

You can choose your pickup location right away when you make your booking. If you would like to change your pickup location later on, please send an email to booking@bearhillhusky.com.

To prepare for your visit we would recommend reading our blog post here: Embracing the Cold: How to Dress Smart and Know When to Just Feel It

Our minimum age for driving a sled is 17 years. We do not allow participants under the age of 17 to drive the sleds. Driving a husky sled takes a certain amount of strength but also ability to manoeuvre and think that a young person might still lack.
If someone (even adults) can drive the sled is always in the hands of the guide of the tour, since they are responsible for the safety on the tour. To make the guide’s day that much easier, we’ve set the limit at 17 years of age. If an adult guest does not listen to driving instructions or it seems that their abilities to manoeuvre a husky sled have been impaired, our guides have the right to not let them drive, but to organize another way for them to join the tour.

Yes, absolutely! The Happy Trail tour is one of our family friendly tours, which is also suitable for very small children. The 45 minutes of driving time that this tour includes is usually a time frame that even small children can handle out in the cold.

We also provide your infant with a sleeping bag to keep them nice and warm. But please make sure to dress your small child very warmly already with their own clothing, as small children tend to get cold easier and are more prone to frostbite.

In case of children younger than 1 years old, please contact our sales team in advance: Booking@bearhillhusky.com

If you are unsure about driving the sled yourself, then we would not recommend booking the Happy Trail tour. This tour is really for those people who want to experience driving a dog sled themselves. If you would prefer to have a professional musher drive the sled for you, then we would recommend checking out our musher tours instead.
