Client Feedback

We really appreciate getting feedback from our customers. Our guides work very hard to try to give you the very best possible experience, whether it is on a 2km safari or a 5-day tour, and they love to hear that their efforts have been appreciated. We, therefore, love to be able to forward praise where it is due, to listen to your thoughts about where we can improve and to also spread the word about our products.

Our multiday clients generally fill in feedback forms immediately post tour but of course there is rarely time for that for the short safari clients. Of course you can always just contact us directly but if you would prefer to fill in a feedback form, you can find online versions here:

Feedback Through Social Media

Social media is an increasingly trusted source of information about the potential value of an organisation prior to booking. If you checked us out on your favourite platforms prior to booking, please help the next person by also sharing your experiences so that the testimonials are up to date.

If you are intending to write a personal blog or travel blog about your time with us, we would also love to read that. Sometimes we come across blogs by accident but we don't have a lot of time to search and really enjoy reading about the whole experience.

Similarly, if you are intending to write a press or magazine article, we would love it if you could share these with us afterwards. We have sometimes given time to folk making TV productions without ever having access to the final product and this is really sad for the guides.

Finally, it seems to be a growing trend for clients to either cut personal videos about their time with our dogs (and us) or to share their photos on facebook / instagram / flickr. If you are happy to share any of the above with us, that would be great. We won't use your material unless you tell us that it is possible to do so but we would still love to see if you have the perfect shot of one of our dogs or guides in action and just to get a feel for your experience.

If you do post your own photos to your own platforms, it would be great if you could hashtag #HettaHuskies and #ResponsibleMushing since this will not only help to spread the word but also help us to find cool photos about the dogs.

Of course, better yet, please send us your photos directly through dropbox or we-transfer--we would totally love that! We try to collate images of all of the dogs each year so that we can file them ready to give them, post adoption, to the people who give them their final homes.

Extracts from Tripadvisor Reviews

Best Experience of My Life! 3 day Circular Tour”. Me and 3 friends went on the 3 day circular tour with Raya, Pasi and Kit. We helped with harnessing our teams, feeding them and putting them to bed for the night. The experience was unbelievable, sledding through the arctic circle with amazing dogs who love to work hard and also cuddle up to you at night. The food was surprisingly yum for camp food as well!! 

Don't Underestimate A Summer Visit!” We recently visited Hetta Huskies in late summer. It was fantastic. Pasi and Anna treat their dogs very well and it shows as the dogs are very happy to greet visitors and love hugs and pets as much as they love to run and pull. While meeting the dogs along with the owners and guides at the farm was a great experience, my favorite time was hiking with the dogs among the cloudberries, bilberries, crowberries, and so on through the nature trails around Hetta. With a dog tethered to each of us, the climb was surprisingly pleasant as the huskies' natural desire to pull provided extra assistance without hurrying the pace. And the guides were very knowledgable about the flora and fauna as well as the trail systems.

Hetta Huskie Heaven”. It was so exciting to see how the dogs were getting ready for us and so keen to run. They were clearly well looked after and loved, and Anna explained some of her philosophy about running the Huskie Farm and animal welfare, which was very helpful.

Husky perfection.” The thought of this place being described as a 'farm' worried us slightly but from the moment we arrived and met the volunteers and Anna it was exceptionally clear to us that every single one of the dogs are looked after to an outstandingly high level. Anna explained the ins and outs of sleigh driving clearly with humour and friendliness. The location is stunning and it was definitely a moment in life to truly remember out on the lake being pulled by our team of 6 dogs. The hands on nature of the experience just added to our enjoyment. Well done to everyone at Hetta huskies, you are all doing an amazing job.

Brilliant - just bloody brilliant. Unbelievable experience. Wonderful healthy, happy, friendly dogs. Kids enthralled. Well done! So glad this husky experience is done in a responsible manor and dogs are retired and not PTS at the end of their working lives. Felt very looked after!

We did a five day tour: unbelievable experience. My son and I took the five day huskie safari..it was tough but one of the great experiences of my life. Owner Parsi and the other guides tried to make it as much five star as possible when you are driving a six dog power sled and staying in basic cabins and having a blizzard one day. The scenery is exceptional , they love the dogs and the dogs love everyone...you have to really love dogs to do this since some of the dogs sleep in the huts at night...and they are warm on a cold night. You do need to be relatively fit and it does get VERY cold. But this is a once in a lifetime thing to do.

Summer visit to Hetta Huskies. If anyone is traveling to Finland—no matter the time of year—experiencing Lapland is a must! Hands down, I recommend a visit to Hetta Huskies. It really is a true Lappish experience with professionals who are committed not only to the sport and outdoors, but who are dedicated to their animals.
