5.00The communication and pickup worked great. We have learned many interesting, unexpected and funny things about the country and people. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful, snowy landscape. A great day with a great guide!

5.00There were 6 of us using a tour operator, €125 per person with round trip (1h30 from Rovaniemi), barbecue and walk, it's expensive but...if you rent a car, free parking, free walk without the possibility of getting lost at all is marked. We were lucky to have a superb guide, the tour is 5 km in 2 hours who advised us on certain places to slide on our butts (which earned us some real laughs). The site is magnificent, as are the waterfalls, but the highlight of the show is the forest. Be careful, the route makes a loop (parking lot - parking lot) but the last climb is more than steep!
Half a disappointment.

3.00Many animals are hibernating during this period. Many birds of prey in cages, some animals in the terrariums could not be seen. No trace of the white bear. We saw wolves and lynx, very beautiful to see. It wasn't worth it and I wouldn't go back.

5.00We visited Korouoma National Parks with Helios Tours and our experience was excellent. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the pick up from our accommodation was very convenient, and they accommodated our dietary requirements (vegan and vegetarian) very well. Highly recommended!

5.00This hike was excellent. The walk was not for the faint of heart - some parts were very slippery ice and very steep but as a group of keen walkers we had an amazing time. The landscape and vistas are wonderful and it was great to get out and about and spend several hours trekking through nature frozen in its majesty all around us. Our guides Lena and Kirill were so warm and knowledgeable, we met as strangers and parted as friends. They kindly provided vegan sausages, biscuits and hot chocolates for us to enjoy around the fire with the other, non-vegan attendees. If you're planning to do this walk, I'd highly recommend going with Helios Tours.
Must do in Finland

5.00Knowledgeable tour guide. The tour could be seen as reasonably difficult for older or less fit people or kids as it can be quite steep in sections. The natural untouched area is beautiful. The BBq around a fire is a nice touch to finish the day.
Simply amazing hiking !!!
