Arctisch avontuur door magische bevroren bossen van Riisitunturi





Beschrijving
Verken de prachtige landschappen van Riisitunturi National Park met dit begeleide avontuur van een hele dag vanuit Rovaniemi. Je gids laat je de meest spectaculaire winterlandschappen en magische besneeuwde bomen zien en leert je over het leven rond de poolcirkel! Bij al onze activiteiten zijn onze groepen beperkt tot maximaal 8 personen. Het is erg belangrijk voor ons om u de best mogelijke ervaring te bieden en massatoerisme te vermijden. Op deze manier leert uw gids u beter kennen en kan hij in al uw behoeften voorzien en uw vragen beantwoorden. Zoals we meestal zeggen: hoe kleiner de groep, hoe groter de ervaring!

Nice hike with amazing view Great female instructor that added much fun and joy to the activity
We were a group of three girls and we couldn't have had a better tour guide than Lola on our trip on the 31.1. to Kurouma Waterfalls and on the 3.2. to Riisitunturi National Park! Lola always drove us safely to each destination and back and both tours were well paced and enjoyable. Lola is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, so we had an amazing time! Thank you so much!
Thanks Wild About Lapland for hosting & creating a memorable tour In Riisitunturi National Park! Im a solo traveler & i knew this company won’t let me down for sure. My guide Lola from France, (very cool gal, friendly, helpful, made this trip a memorable one. The weather gods also were kind as we had blue skies, rainbow, apocalyptic sun only for 1 hour. Imagine that??? Risintunturi gives you an another world experience, it's worth trying. The guides hospitality, and the information shared just made it a memorable day for us! Highly recommend this!!
This adventure was worth every cent. By far the highlight of our trip. We were lucky with the weather, it was so sunny, providing breathtaking landscapes that we will never forget. Our guide, Tomas, was excellent and friendly. Thank you for the experience!
Excellent tour to a beautiful area! While there was no snow on the trees when we visited due to the weather, Riisitunturi was still very beautiful.
This company doesn’t care about safety or people and shouldn’t be in business. We took a tour with Wild About Lapland (Rovaniemi) and had an accident. They don’t care about safety- providing run-down vans with worn winter tires (worn rubber, missing studs!). Our van went off the road, buried deep in the snow on the side of an icy road. Luckily everyone was ok. Locals who stopped to check on us all said this car - with these tires - shouldn’t have been driving. But the worst is their management who don’t offer a solution, leave the whole group by the side of the road in freezing temperatures, and also refuse to get us back to town safely. 8 people plus the guide were stranded in the middle of nowhere, freezing cold, and by complete coincidence a taxi van passed an hour later that could take us back to Rovaniemi (2.5hrs drive) for 300 euro, which comes to 37.5 euro per person. Each of us paid 190 euros for this tour and their manager categorically refused to get us back to the city for 37.5 euros. For someone who has been working in tourism for a decade, this is beyond comprehension. I can’t imagine something like this happening anywhere in the world but definitely not in Europe. In the end 8 of us paid our own taxi. How can any self-respecting business refuse a super cheap solution like this to get its customers back to town safely and warm - is beyond our comprehension. Can you even imagine?! Not even a sorry. Just screw you all and ‘sue us at a Finnish court’ if you want - said on the phone on a speaker to the whole group 😳 by manager Nick who refused to say his family name. After this thing escalated on Facebook and via GetYourGuide (luckily we didn’t book directly!), they called to apologise and offered a refund. Not for the taxi though… Avoid them at all costs and stay safe out there! And learn from our mistake - call the police to investigate the car immediately if something like this happens! These companies need to be held accountable and invest in proper safe vehicles.
Dear Jurga, Thank you for sharing your feedback also on this platform. We sincerely regret that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. On behalf of the Wild About Lapland team, I would like to also publicly apologize to you for this situation and would like to address the concerns raised regarding the incident that occurred during your tour yesterday. As mentioned in your review and also in our official statement published on our social media channels after the incident, one of our vans encountered slippery road conditions, leading to it becoming stuck in the snow. Unfortunately, situations like this can happen in winter conditions and we are sorry that this happened. Shortly after, another vehicle from our company arrived at the scene to assist, and when attempts to free the van were unsuccessful, a tow truck was immediately called, following our operational protocols. Regarding concerns about the vehicle’s tires, we assure you that all our vehicles meet legal safety requirements for winter conditions and are regularly checked by our local Finnish vehicle provider. However, we acknowledge the concerns of both participants and locals present at the scene and are conducting an internal investigation to assess the situation. Given that the incident occurred approximately two hours from Rovaniemi, our team informed all participants that assistance was on the way. We followed our operations safety protocols, and the vehicle was rescued within the next hour and replacement transport was supposed to be organised by our company. However, we recognize that communication during this time may not have been as clear as it should have been, and we deeply regret any distress this may have caused. We are committed to improving our procedures to ensure a smoother experience in the future. We reached out to all affected participants and offered fair compensation for the inconvenience. We again sincerely apologize for this experience and appreciate your feedback, which helps us enhance our services. We hope that you will be able to visit us in the future for more enjoyable experience. Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland
I highly recommend Wild About Lapland to anyone visiting Rovaniemi! The entire team is incredibly friendly and professional, making our trip absolutely perfect. We joined their hiking tour to Riisitunturi National Park, which lasted about nine hours in total, with around four hours of actual hiking. Along the way, we stopped at a cozy little hut in the mountains, where we enjoyed grilled sausages and hot cocoa—a truly delightful experience. Our guide, Maca, was fantastic! Not only was she knowledgeable and passionate about the forest, sharing fascinating insights throughout the hike, but she also went out of her way to take amazing and fun photos for us. Her enthusiasm and friendliness made the experience even more special. Another lovely touch was their adorable souvenirs, like hand-crocheted woolen socks, which were absolutely charming. They also had a great selection of snacks available for purchase, making it easy to grab a treat before or after the tour. If you’re visiting Rovaniemi, joining one of their tours is an absolute must—it’s an experience you won’t regret!
Dear Vivian, Thank you very much for this wonderful review about your tour to Riisitunturi National Park with us. It was so nice to read about your experience and fantastic day with Maca. We appreciate your kind words! Thank you for choosing Wild About Lapland and welcome back in Rovaniemi in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland
Enjoyed the hike with amazing views. Trees were covered with fresh snow. Atanas the guide really did his job well. He explained and assisted his members well. Highly recommend the tour.
Thank you very much for taking your time to write about your experience with Wild About Lapland. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Riisitunturi National Park with Atanas. Welcome back anytime in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland
Assuming that Atanas was an extremely attentive and kind guide and did everything to make the day beautiful for everyone, there is an underlying problem. The experience is sold as intended for small groups, but the company makes several groups leave at the same time, so you find yourself making the trail in Indian file with another twenty people, some of whom have no respect for the silence of this magical place. Even the barbecue experience is nothing intimate or adventurous, as you find yourself in a shed with 30 other people and a great confusion. The place is lovely but we feel that the description of the tour does not match the experience offered and that the price is excessive.
Thank you very much for taking your time to share your constructive feedback with us. We are happy that you enjoyed your tour in Riisitunturi with us. Regarding your concern about more groups being present at the same starting time resulting into merging into one big group, we immediately took an action and added new starting times for this tour to avoid this situation in the future. Thank you for your suggestions, and we hope to welcome you back in Rovaniemi in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland
We wanted to do something different from the classic Tours in Rovaniemi, this experience was perfect! We did an easy but great hike through the forest and it was amazing! Jordan and his trainee Anne were the perfect guides, practical, funny and they explained to our group lots of stuff about the forest and the trees! I would higlhy recommend the tour!
Dear Martina, Thank you very much for taking your time to share your feedback. We are happy that your trip to Riisitunturi National Park with Jordan and Anne was memorable and you enjoyed their company. We hope to welcome you back on our others tours in the future! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland
