“It was an incredible experience and we had a lot of fun.

It was really interesting and informative and the Snowshoeing was a bit strenuous, but incredibly fun, especially in the deep snow. We would highly recommend this tour if you lucky enough to visit Levi in february.”

“The experience was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. The scenery in Lapland is breathtaking, and the skiing activity was very well organized and enjoyable, even for beginners. What truly stood out was the guide’s education, kindness, and availability throughout the experience. He was extremely polite, patient, and always willing to help. Everything was explained clearly, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe at all times. His professional and friendly attitude made the activity even more enjoyable. If there is one thing that could be improved, it would be having a bit more time for the activity, as it was so engaging that it felt too short. Overall,…”

“What a perfect start of our trip to Lapland! Terhi is a friendly, knowledgable guide. We really enjoyed the well organized activity with a lot of new information and knowledge about nature (plants, trees, vegetation and wildlife). We did the snowshoe walk at the first day of our trip. This helped us to see and understand a lot more about the nature/environment which we visited the days after the snowshoe walk. It once again created more awareness about the consequences of climate change as well.”
