Regenerative travel plays a vital role in the Arctic region, where its importance cannot be overstated. This pristine and fragile environment is home to unique ecosystems, diverse wildlife, and indigenous cultures deeply connected to the land. By embracing regenerative practices, we can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity, mitigate the impacts of climate change, safeguard indigenous traditions, promote responsible wildlife interaction, and support sustainable economic development. The Arctic region requires our utmost care and attention, and regenerative travel provides a powerful platform to give back to these extraordinary landscapes and communities.

Husky Farm Visits
While husky farms offer unique experiences and insights into sled dog culture, it is crucial to ensure the well-being and welfare of the animals involved. At MonMon Travel, we are dedicated to promote regenerative travel practices, especially when it comes to visiting husky farms.
We have carefully chosen the husky farms we work with and make sure that the tours are designed not only for entertainment but also as educational experiences, providing our guests with an opportunity to learn about the lives of sled dogs and the importance of treating animals with respect and compassion.
We believe in providing year-round employment opportunities, ensuring that the local people involved in dog sledding receive a fair wage and have stable income throughout the year. This commitment extends to the off-season, where the dogs still require training and care, and your visit can contribute to their well-being and support the local community.
Reindeer Farm Visits
Similarly, when visiting reindeer farms, it is essential to choose farms that prioritise the well-being of their reindeer. At MonMon Travel, we meticulously research and select farms that demonstrate a commitment to ethical guidelines, respectful treatment of the animals, and the preservation of their natural behaviours and habitats.
We seek out farms that offer educational opportunities to learn about reindeer herding and the rich Sámi culture and traditions, providing a deep understanding of their vital role in the way of life.
It’s also important to support farms that offer year-round employment, fair wages, and collaborate with local businesses and suppliers to further contribute to the socio-economic well-being of the region.
Giving Back to the Ecosystem
We firmly believe in the power of responsible tourism to create positive change and foster a deeper connection with nature. Our commitment to regenerative practices is evident throughout our tours, as we actively engage our travellers in meaningful activities that contribute to the well-being of the environment.
During some of our tours, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in data collection efforts. By joining these initiatives, you become an essential part of scientific research and gain valuable insights into the delicate balance of the Arctic ecosystem. This hands-on approach allows our local providers to deepen their understanding of the region while actively contributing to its preservation.
Respecting wildlife is a fundamental aspect of our approach. When observing animals in their natural habitat, we always maintain an appropriate separation distance. This practice ensures that our presence does not disturb or harm the animals, allowing them to go about their daily routines undisturbed. It is through this mindful and respectful interaction that we can truly appreciate the beauty and majesty of Arctic wildlife.
Above all, our mission is to forge a profound connection between travellers and the wilderness. Through immersive experiences, we aim to ignite a sense of awe and appreciation for the Arctic’s wonders. We hope that these connections and lessons inspire our guests to become proactive in safeguarding the environment for future generations.
