Snowshoeing from Tromso - Had a great hike with Anna. The weather was superb and landscape so beautiful. We hiked on the beautiful island of Kvaløya and went all the way to the Lavvu of Ersfjord. Stopped off at the Lavvu for sandwich and a warm drink. Me and my family had a great time. Highly recommend.

Amazing Arctic walk with Max! - We took a small group snowshoeing tour with Max. The views were beautiful. Max was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us all sorts of interesting natural phenomena. We stopped for a picnic with delicious sandwiches and hot drinks. The tea was especially tasty. All in all, a great experience. I would highly recommend if you want to do something outdoors free of the stress of chasing the lights.

Snowshoeing was really... - Snowshoeing was really great even though it was more tiring than expected. Isaac & Marcin were amazing and were super patient with how many photos I wanted. We moved at a good pace and were able to get to a great vantage point. The food was tasty as well. Definitely worth trying at least once!

A great day snowshoeing! - We had a wonderful time on our snowshoeing experience! Our guides, Henrik and Javier, did a great job picking a stunning and safe location for the snowshoeing. Once out on the walk, Henrik was a fantastic guide and took lovely photos of us and the surrounding scenery. We loved our experience!

Good new experience made - We booked the tour because we wanted to go snowshoeing. We were lucky because there was enough snow. Since the weather was not quite so good during our hike we went on a slightly different tour. But we were informed beforehand and it made sense. So I loved it. 👍 The guides, Anna and Cristobal, took everyone into consideration and watched the tour over and over that everyone had it good. With such a mixed crowd of people with different levels, I think it's really good. We got a lot of information about the area and some jokes 😬 Thank you for the wonderful day

Snowshoeing in fresh snow - Our guides were great, very friendly. The weather was not great, extremely cold, windy and snowy. They found a place that we could still enjoy the day but were “protected” from the windy elements. I went with my 9yo daughter, she was having a harder time with the second half of the trip. It’s a lot more work than you would think to walk in the fresh snow!!

Scenery beautiful, guide unprepared - Lovely day out beautiful scenery. Guide did not do a lot of guiding. There was no backup equipment so some people didn't have shoes or poles that worked which at this price point is wild. There were a lot of "screw you" breaks for the slowest hikers. Guide elected not to pack water saying the thermos was heavy. Asked everyone if they had water. They said yes but also half of the people didn't have backpacks? So I doubt it. Also the girl in the back fell down three times. Guide did not notice because she was already 100 m ahead. I turned around and helped her up. Guide was very personable. Just not that safe.
