Very cool tour! The hike was through a beautiful landscape with lots of snow and in the middle of the breathtaking nature incl. sun :) If you hike cross-country, the hike can be pleasantly strenuous. But you can also use the prepared path :) The BBQ was great and a wonderful end to the whole tour. Thanks also to our guides Romaine and Stefanos (+ 1 other cool guide, unfortunately I forgot the name :( )

It was magical, walking in this frozen forest felt like being actually frozen in time! Absolutely recommended! Also Mike (I'm sorry if I got it wrong) our guide was amazing! You can see he loves what he does and he tried, successfully, to pass his passion to the group as well.

They were kind enough to arrange Nothern Lights Hunting last minute for our group of 9 people. Our guide,Reetta was very professional and super kind! Unfortunatelly we did not see lights that evening but we had winderful time in the nature under the clear sky.

Det var nesten 2 timer kø for å komme inn. Møt opp tidlig.

Those huskies were the cutest, very nice activity with a hot juice and some nice information. After the amazing ride we could cuddle them and even see their puppies! Just amazing day

We had a blast! Great tour with a lot of adrenalin. Our tour guide Nicole and Mario were so friendly and full of great energy. I will recommend this trip! :)
