It was a beautiful experience enjoyed in full because April is a week of the end of the season, there is still snow although not much in the city, in the canyon was full and was beautiful, erik our guide and stat a very kind person a great guide, told us how these frozen waterfalls are formed and how then in winter you do climbing, followed us According to our times, we were just our group and we enjoyed breathtaking views. She prepared us a barbecue and hot drinks it was all very cute! One winter we will come back for more experiences!
Fantastic experience immersed in the nature of the Canyon in Kouroma. In this period (March) the turnout is not much and we fully enjoy the experience. Particular credit goes to William our guide who has shown great passion for this work.
It was a beautiful hike, the park is wonderful, our guide Corantin super photographer who took so many beautiful photos and is an exceptional cook, the best hot dogs in the world! You see the biggest 3 waterfalls, fantastic tour!
I joined the frozen waterfall tour with JB and Pierre and had such a great time. The scenery was stunning, and JB made the hike even more interesting by sharing lots of insightful and engaging information along the way. Everything felt very well organized, and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. The barbecue at the end was a really lovely and cozy finish to the whole experience. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip - highly recommend!
I loved every moment of the tour! Thank you, Will and Hugo, for being the best guides :) The small group size allowed us all to socialise more, which I really enjoyed. Will had plenty of interesting facts about the fauna, flora, and the history of the canyon. It made the experience even better seeing how passionate he is about what he does. He’s also an excellent photographer! The hike is not very challenging, but it can be slippery at times due to ice (depending on the weather). The frozen waterfalls were stunning and change a lot throughout the season. After the hike, we had barbecued sausages (vegan/vegetarian options are available upon request too). Thank you so much for an amazing tour! ❤️
Had a wonderful time! Our guide Pedro was fun, patient, and never rushed us during the hike. He even took some great photos of us. Highly recommend his services!
What an incredible experience, the canyon was so impressive that we can say is one of the most beautiful landscapes we have seen in our lives, we would recommend this experience to anyone, thank you to our guide Hugo for making this experience
The Korouoma tour was magnificent not only for the spectacular landscapes but also due to the excellent performance of our guide, Pedro. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Rovaniemi.
Today we did the walking activity to the Korouma waterfalls with the company Artic GM and the guide Pedro. Everything went very well, the day was perfect, no wind and with a little sunshine. The walk is quiet, adapted to almost everyone and the route is very beautiful. The guide was very friendly, competent and professional!
