Highlights
Outing Highlights
A protected 5 km marsh trail
The early‑season offering uses a guarded 5 km track along the edge of the marsh, kept open until the main network is ready—short, scenic and purposefully compact for the opening weeks.
Farm visit and hands‑on instruction
Price covers a visit to the farm and driving instructions in addition to the safari itself, so the brief outing is also an introduction to the dogs and sledcraft.
Small sleigh groups during early season
Early‑season runs are typically offered with two passengers per sleigh or in guide‑driven sleighs; children are usually carried in guide sleighs until full track conditions return.
