Health and Physical Requirements
Husky safaris require good basic fitness and balance. All participants must:
– Be able to control their body and follow instructions
– Understand the nature of the activity and behave safely around animals
– Treat the dogs with respect at all times
– There is a weight limit of 110 kg per person. If this limit is exceeded,
it must be informed in advance so we can arrange a suitable dog team.
If any participant has health conditions, injuries, mobility issues, or neuropsychiatric challenges that may impact safety or communication, this must be reported at least 24 hours before the activity.
If this information is not provided in time, we cannot guarantee participation,
and no refund will be issued if cancellation occurs on-site for safety reasons.
Weather Impact
Our safaris are subject to weather and trail conditions.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a safari in the event of poor weather or unsafe conditions.
In such cases, we will offer a new time or a replacement activity will be offered instead.
In extremely cold conditions (below -30°C),
especially when children are involved, we may change the activity to a husky walk or kennel visit.
You will only be charged for the activity that takes place.
If the alternative is declined by the guest,
Pohjolan Huskies reserves the right to retain 50% of the original booking fee.
Aurora safari
Aurora sightings are natural phenomena and cannot be guaranteed.
While we do our best to choose optimal conditions and timing,
Pohjolan Huskies cannot be held responsible if the Northern Lights do not appear during the activity.
No refunds or compensation will be provided due to the absence of aurora sightings.
