- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00An absolutely wonderful experience with Hama. Incredibly responsive, very well prepared and just great experience all around. Really appreciated as the trip progressed and he got to know us that he tailored the experience more towards what we enjoyed - in our case more interesting/challenging snowshoeing. Also appreciated how he kept us away from the large crowds, we barely saw anyone on our trek.
