Great people and great experience. I definitely recommend North Wind Lapland.Posted on Andreas TiesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best experience ever hunting for the Northern Lights with the snowmobile. And we even saw them! Thanks a lot to our guide.Posted on Lucas MousquèsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Très belle excursion en motoneige pour une durée de 6 heures, en petit groupe. Les alentours d'Yllas valent le détour ! Rien à redire sur le professionnalisme de l'équipe.Posted on Raphael DelassiseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. C'était magique incroyable balade en moto neige avec la visite snow village top mais le meilleur était pour la fin avec des magnifiques aurores boréales !!!Posted on Leyla CollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved the late night snow shoe hike. Johanna is very friendly and knowledgable. Family run business and her family has lived in the town for centuries. It was very unlikely to see northern lights because of the conditions, but still Johanna kept her eyes on the skies and managed to find us a little glimmer. Even if we hadn’t seen them it would have been a magical night with the tall snow covered trees in the moonlight and fire in the quiet forest. Would recommend highly.Posted on Dim'sTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons fait de super activités avec Tommy, JP et Johanna. Ce sont 3 superbes personnes qui prennent soin de leurs clients et prennent le temps avec eux, loin du tourisme de masse des autres prestataires ! Ne réfléchissez pas deux fois et foncez chez eux pour vos activités, vous ne serez jamais déçu ! Recommandations à 100%%%Posted on Anja RembergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Small group going on the snowmobile ride with our guide Tomi. We enjoyed the tour and winterwonderland a lot.Posted on Daniela MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. North Wind Lapland offers moments where time seems to slow down and the heart feels at home! As a family-run business, it carries a rare warmth and authenticity that you feel from the very first moment. Everything is done with deep care, passion and respect for both people and nature. The experiences take place in very small groups – sometimes even just on your own – allowing silence, space and genuine connection to unfold. Johanna and Tomi are endlessly kind and open-hearted, creating an atmosphere of trust, joy and ease. Their friendliness feels natural, almost like being welcomed by old friends. Highly recommended!Posted on Marco TorricelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Esperienza bellissima, tre ore in motoslitta in mezzo ai boschi innevati! JP super guida, simpatico e disponibile, consiglio vivamente!
