Find your spirit of adventure and join us on the ‘wild side’. Itinerary: Day 1 Arrival Arrival at Kajaani airport. Transfer (approx. 1,5 hour) to Hotel Kalevala in Kuhmo. Day 2 Husky trekking We start the adventure with a visit to a local husky farm where we hear about the life of huskies and farmers. Then we set off for a 3-hour trekking tour with our four legged friends. Each participant gets a husky tied with a leash on a special belt around the waist. As the huskies are very human friendly it won't take long to make friends with them. After returning to the farm we have a short ride with husky scooters. We stand on the scooter pulled by two huskies around the circuit! Day 3 Forest Survival This is a two-day Forest Survival quest! The Survival Camp is on an island reached by bike (12 km) and some 8 km on canoe. After landing on the island, we set up a Lappish tepee for our base for overnight. (Some tents will be also provided!) During the afternoon we learn some skills, like how to light a fire without matches and how to fish for supper. Dinner is then prepared by all around the camp fire. After a long exciting day, sleep comes easy, snug in sleeping bags under the tepee or in tents. Day 4 Back to the real world Before leaving the island, we enjoy an outdoor breakfast and for those who want, a morning swim. Once the gear is packed it’s time to return the way we came. Dinner at the hotel. Day 5 Bear watching Free morning. Hotel provides for rent eg. bicycles, rowing boats, canoes and kick boards and for free use outdoor games such as badminton and frisbee.
