Booked this tour a day in advance when I walked into their office downtown. Friendly guy who took my booking and our tour guide Oren was amazing. He helped with our skis and during the cross country skiing he made sure we were all having fun. I thought it would be hard but it was not too strenuous, you go at your own pace.
The bbq and hot blueberry juice at the end of the ski was really enjoyable. Oren explained about the Finnish language, culture & showed us how to start a fire using the dry birchwood and bark. He even prepared vegan sausages (which was not expected) & a couple of people in our group was actually vegetarian/vegans. If you want to melt marshmallows pls ask in advance cos they prepare some for the kids!
Highly recommend this day time activity as it’s about a 3 hour tour and really enjoyable being out in nature and exploring the Lapland country side. Thank you!
