Hello from railakka
Meet Our Family-Run Husky Safari in Kuusamo
We are a small family-run husky safari company in Kuusamo, Northern Finland, offering authentic and private husky experiences surrounded by forests, frozen lakes and northern wilderness. Together with our dogs, this is our home and everyday life.
Life here follows the rhythm of the seasons. Winter brings snow-covered trees, frozen landscapes, soft northern light, and long days on the trails with our huskies. For us, life with huskies is more than a business - it is a way of life built around respect for our dogs, nature and the quiet beauty of the North.
Located just south of the Arctic Circle, Kuusamo offers real winter conditions and an authentic northern atmosphere. Away from crowded tourist destinations, our home in Suorajärvi is an old lakeside farm where we live together with our huskies, surrounded by forests, silence, and northern nature. Here, what was once part of the old farm has been carefully adapted into a safe and comfortable space for the dogs, reflecting the close connection between our everyday life and the wellbeing of our huskies.
We specialize in authentic and private husky safaris in Kuusamo, offering personal, unhurried experiences where guests can truly connect with the dogs, the sled ride, and the surrounding wilderness. Because we are a small husky company, every tour is relaxed, personal, and designed around quality rather than crowds.
Our huskies are at the heart of everything we do. Each dog has its own personality, energy, and story, and their wellbeing is always our highest priority. We believe that happy, healthy, and well-cared-for huskies create the safest and most memorable dog sledding experiences in Finland.
Respect for nature is equally important to us. We care deeply about the forests, lakes, and trails around us and aim to keep our husky safaris sustainable and in harmony with the northern environment for future generations.
Whether you are looking for an authentic husky sledding experience in Finland, a private husky safari in Kuusamo or simply a peaceful moment surrounded by dogs and wilderness, we warmly welcome you to visit us and experience a small piece of northern life with our family and huskies.
Welcome to Railakka!

The Wellbeing of Our Huskies Comes First
Our dogs are family, companions and the heart of everything we do. Every husky is treated as an individual with its own personality, needs, and energy. Their health, happiness, rest and wellbeing always come before schedules or business. We believe that responsible care creates safer, happier and more meaningful husky experiences for both dogs and guests.
Respect for Nature
We live and work surrounded by forests, frozen lakes, and northern wilderness, and we believe it is our responsibility to protect it. We aim to keep our husky safaris sustainable, respectful, and in harmony with the northern environment so future generations can enjoy its beauty too.
Authentic and Personal Experiences
We welcome guests to our home, an old lakeside farm in Kuusamo, where everyday life is shared with our huskies and the surrounding wilderness. As a small family-run husky safari company in Kuusamo, we offer calm, personal, and unhurried experiences with time to connect with the dogs, the sled ride, and the quiet rhythm of life in the North.
Safety, Trust and Responsible Guiding
The safety and comfort of both our guests and dogs are always a priority. We want every visitor to feel welcome, informed, and relaxed while enjoying husky sledding in a calm, safe, and responsible environment.
Quality Over Quantity
We choose to stay small so we can focus on care, authenticity, and quality rather than volume. For us, a husky safari is not simply an activity - it is a shared experience built on trust, respect, genuine northern hospitality and meaningful moments with our dogs.
