Review of Abisko’s scenic two-hour morning hike, with hotel pickup, Arctic wildlife, Sami culture, snowy trails, and mountain views.
“It was a beautiful morning with clear skies and plenty of fresh snow on the ground. Sara, our Young an enthusiastic guide medicine at the hotel on time and we walked one of the trails from the tourist station towards the river and the Delta. Sara was enthusiastic, gracious, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. She gave us tons of wonderful information about the area and you could tell she loves what she does. I would highly recommend her in this activity to anyone going to Abisko national Park. She told us so many things about the wildlife, the plants, the trees, the river, the lake and about life in the Arctic…”
Review of Kiruna’s 2.5-hour husky sled ride, with snowy forests, frozen lakes, Swedish fika, warm gear, pickup, and practical booking tips.
“The guide from Slovakia picked me up punctually from my apartment. He was very down to earth and chatty. It helped that we we were provided with thick overalls and boots before the ride. And the ride itself became one of the key highlights of my trip in Kiruna. The ride felt long enough and it went through the frosty trees and lakes. The views were amazing throughout the ride just before sunset. We were given cinnamon buns and a choice between tea coffee and hot chocolate at the shed. The look outside the window against the snowy backdrop was just so christmassy and nice. We continued the ride back…”
Ride with 12 to 14 Alaskan Huskies through Kiruna’s snowy woods, meet the dogs, share fika by the fire, and stay warm in provided gear.
“Wij hadden een magische voormiddag! Voordat we van start gingen met de activiteit mochten we bij de puppy’s om ze te knuffelen, en ook bij de grote honden. Alle honden waren mensen gewoon en zeer sociaal en gehoorzaam. Je merkt ook echt dat het personeel al hun liefde aan de honden geeft. En tour zelf was door een prachtig winterlandschap. Geen woorden kunnen omschrijven hoe mooi het was. En koud hadden we niet, dankzij de thermische pakken, schoenen en wanten die we van hun mochten lenen. Na de tour konden we nog even opwarmen aan een vuur met een Fika!”
