We started in 2019 in Rovaniemi. Later on we moved to operate mostly in Pyhä-Luosto area and Kemijärvi. Since 2021 we have do less and less activities in Rovaniemi and more and more in the silence of eastern Lapland. 


We operate  

  • individual tours for independent travelers who look for authenticity
  • multi-day activities for small groups who want custom packages

When you join our tours, you make it possible for us to make a living in Lapland by showing the world the uniqueness and beauty of the arctic nature. We would like to take you to see the breathtaking views and we want to make your experiences here in Lapland as unforgettable as possible. On our tours we tell about the life of forests, animals and plants. We like to tell about local lifestyle, and anything you might find interesting..

Our Values

And what we want to achieve with our business


  • We want to show visitors what the real Lapland is, by taking people to the places we take our family and friends who visit us. We want to make you to fall in love with Finnish nature and it's plants and animals, so that you will even more care about the planet after you return home.
  • We want to organise inclusive tours where it doesn't matter what your background is, or if you face extra challenges exploring Finland: we take care of you and make sure you can enjoy your time as equal to other as possible. We have experience working with neurodiverse people as well as people with different disabilities. We are also lgbtiq+ and interfaith friendly and we actively work on training ourselves to create a safer space for anyone visiting Lapland.
  • We want to change the tourism industry to more responsible, caring and considering the needs of locals as well. We show example to our local community about a responsible company, and we actively participate in local politics and networks to develop tourism so that it is positive for all. We also partner up with the other local companies around and avoid contributing to mass tourism.
