Although you might assume that sled dog hikes, as the “sled” in the name implies, are strictly a winter activity, then in Estonia you can hike with Huskies and Malamutes all year round. Allow several hours for that - sled dogs will fill that time with inexhaustible energy and curiosity; they simply love to run, and your time will pass very quickly and adventurously. Also, you will get to know about sled dogs in general – what their character is like, how they are trained to become a guide dog, what they eat, how to keep a kennel and much more. We have compiled a list of places where you can go hiking with sled dogs, be it summer or winter.
Sledding with Siberian Huskies
We will introduce the breed, history, character, and range of use of the Siberian Husky in detail. Then, we will prepare the dogs for a ride, place the harnesses on them, and move them to the correct positions in the equipage. Sledding with dogs – we take a few-kilometre ride in the neighbourhood, accordingly to the possibilities of the moment. If the guests wish, we can offer them a hot drink. Price for one person is 85 euros and 160 euros for two, the total duration is approximately 1.5 hours. Prices for children: Three-year-olds: 25 euros; 4–5-year-olds: 45 euros; and from 6 years old: 85 euros.
