Upon return to the lodge, have dinner and venture out once more in search of the Northern Lights.

Day 3 » Husky sledding & Northern Lights hunting
Yesterday reindeer, today another symbolic animal of the north: the husky. Your guide will take you to a nearby kennel where you’ll meet these intelligent dogs, learn how to handle the sled and then jump straight onto the trail. Set off into the wilderness, enjoying the thrill of the ride as you glide between snowy forests and frozen lakes. One person will 'mush' while the other person sits below, and there will be a chance to switch roles along the way. Lunch is then served back at the lodge. Later that evening head on a hunt for the aurora by snowmobile. Inari is a hot spot for the Northern Lights, so hope you are rewarded with a spectacular display.
