When it comes to a winter holiday, many of us may feel the need to escape the cold and travel to warmer climates where we can sit back, relax and soak up some rays which will rival those we would find at home. However, for those who enjoy nothing more than being outdoors and exploring in an exciting and exhilarating manner, a bit of cold is never going to stop them from having the holiday of a lifetime. When it comes to action and adventure in the winter, you won’t find anything better than a Husky Dog Safari.
When we think of cold, snow covered mountain locations, we often automatically think of Husky dogs and when it comes to exploring these fantastic locations, there really is no better way in which to explore. With the Husky dogs to guide you, you will pass through some breathtaking scenery through forests and fells, travelling over many frozen lakes and rivers – definitely an experience you won’t find whilst sipping cocktails poolside!
If you are looking to explore the fantastic backdrops in either Norway, Sweden or Finland, then a Husky Dog Safari is not to be missed from your itinerary. With only the sounds of the dogs and your sledge gliding through the snow, this is something you are sure to not forget in a lifetime, as the eerie feeling of being the only people for miles fills you with excitement and anticipation of what you will find ahead on your travels.
These adventure holidays can last anything from 3 to 9 days – all depending on the type of experience you are looking for. However, those who choose to spend 3-4 days with the Husky dogs will be able to slot this in around exploring other parts of their holiday destination – just this time on foot! This holiday will involve a chance to be at one with nature whilst staying in a cosy wilderness cabin, but this is not for the faint of heart as these cabins include no showers, indoor toilet facilities or electricity.
However, for the duration of your safari you have the option to stay in other more comfortable accommodation where you can sit back and unwind with a good book after your adrenaline filled day out with the dogs. Breakfast and dinner is prepared together whilst your lunches are eaten by an open fire whilst on the trail when weather permits – this makes the adventure a perfect way in which to do some bonding, and is great fun in groups of up to 5.
With the responsibility of looking after your own dogs, this truly is a holiday experience like no other and is sure to leave you wanting more in terms of an adventure filled vacation.
When it comes to choosing the holiday of a lifetime, don’t go for the obvious sun, sea and sangria option. Holidays are about exploring and learning something new about yourself – something you are guaranteed to get from your holiday in the arctic wilderness. While you’re being driven by your own Husky dogs through the astounding scenery you will be left feeling exhilarated and more alive than ever.
