Husky Café – Local flavours
Husky Café creates images of clean arctic nature. We want to offer experiences that cannot be experienced anywhere else. As an example of this, the salmon you eat surrounded by a pack of huskies is always made over an open fire.
Short but intensive summer ripens our local ingredients. Husky Café brings forth the ingredients that have grown under the Northern sky, and the uniqueness of food born under arctic circumstances.
Local food supports sustainable development and achievement of our climate goals.
Husky Café serves during the summer (25.6. – 15.8.) with opening hours that take into account the well-being of our pack.
In winter, we organize events, which we announce on our social media channels
In our kennel area we can offer visitors in addition to experiences:
- Realtime weather
- Cold water in summer, no water in winter. Disinfectant always available.

Our services are almost completely accessible. If you are looking for a husky experience and You have a mobility restriction, please read more about accessibility.
Winter temperatures in Finland are typically below zero and it might be windy, especially by the sea. We recommend wearing warm winter clothes as for any other winter sport. You can best protect yourself in the traditional way by wearing two or three layers of warm clothes under a windproof jacket and trousers. The best winter boots are long and warm. Remember to wear a warm hat and gloves!

OPENING HOURS
Our huskies love their work and we love to see them wagging their tails and eager to go. For this reason, our kennel is open on bookings only: as pack leaders, we want to make sure that our dogs have at least one full day of rest all to themselves.
