LOIHAKKA

My two friends and I visited Loihakka in November 2019. There was a lot of snow in Oulu at the times, but unfortunately not enough to go on a sleigh trip. But we still wanted to visit the husky farm, and I was a great experince!! Maja was a kind host, who told us ALL about the dogs. You can really tell, that this family loves their dogs. Maja could tell the names of all the dogs, when they where born and so on. She anwsered all of our questions with great patience and humor - not just about the huskies but about Finish culture as well 🙂
We will have to come back another times to go on a sleigh trip!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly all the huskies were and that we were allowed to approach all of them and pet them, even while they were obviously excited that the spins were about to start.

We first went on a round of spins as passengers before we got to drive the dog sledge on our own (with the owner as a passenger). Awesome fun! Also learned a lot about huskies.

We came by for a visit if this little charming husky farm. We were welcomed very open hearted and introduced to all the huskies.

There was to little snow for a ride - but meeting and getting to know the dogs was still very impressive. All of them alive to be petted, are calm and have good manners.

Definitely worth a visit!

The most amazing huskies and guides I haave ever seen! We went to husky's farms on Rovaniemi also, but it doesn't even come close to what we experienced here in Loihakka!!! Super friendly and loving, lovely and loved dogs!!!!! you can feel that they are super loved and well taken care of by the way they welcome the visitors!!! Maija was an amazing host and told us a lot of nice information about the different huskies they own!!! Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to do the ride, but we will for sure return for the ride!!! It was an amazing evening!!!! Thank you Maija very much!!!

We visited here as part of our honeymoon in Finland, the family/team were so friendly and spent so much time with us and the fabulous huskies, chatting and answering all our questions. We then when on the husky ride, where we all took turns steering the sledge, this was so thrilling and fast at times, the huskies have so much power. The dogs are so well looked after and are the friendliest things I have ever seen.

We will never forget laying down in the snow, sun shining and rolling around with the huskies whilst tickling and stroking them. It is not the cheapest thing to do, but it really was worth every euro. The owners even arranged for our taxi driver to take us on a additional driving tour where we went sliding and spinning on the ice road over the frozen river, crazy fun.
