My boyfriend and I visited Finland in December 2017 and we made a one night trip all the way to Enontekio just to visit Hetta Huskies. Of course, I dropped the ball on scheduling it in advance, so two days prior to our visit, we...More

Hi there, Has anyone had any difficulty getting in touch with Hetta Huskies via email? I have sent two emails and one Facebook message trying to enquire about visiting in December, but I haven't heard back. Not sure if there is something wrong with their system or if I'm doing something wrong? I've been trying to contact them for over a month. I thought they may not be responding until peak season. I haven't tried calling yet as we are from Australia, but I could always do so. Thanks,
