“Pick up was easy, as was finding the correct boots etc for us. Our driver James was cheerful and helpful, and our guide during the hike (sadly I cannot remember her name, but she was from Estonia) made the experience even more enjoyable with stops to explain things about nature and animals in the area to us - she was even quick to point out an arctic hare to us! The snow shoe walking itself was difficult as a beginner, but it didn't feel like a problem. Great new experience, very glad I went!”

We love hiking but since Tromso was full of snow, we couldn’t go on a long hike. Instead, we opted for snowshoe hiking and I 100% recommend this. 10 out of 10! Also, the huskies were incredibly cute and friendly, and quite energetic!”
