5.00Karin was a fantastic guide who took us on a great hike. She took plenty of pictures and welcomed us into her home. We loved the snowshoeing
If you do one thing in Tromso- do this!

5.00Our snowshoeing with Wandering Owl was cancelled at the last minute due to weather so we pivoted and booked with Karin and her Skadi Adventures for the next day. It turned out to be the best thing we did in Tromso. She can go out in bad weather as her route is not so exposed. The group is small and Karin treats you like family where the tour starts and ends at her own home. It’s physically vigorous but she takes care of everyone. It’s also a lot of fun. You can tell Karin loves what she does. She laughed pretty much all the way down as we all ran through powder snow. Once down off the mountain we enjoyed a BBQ in her super cozy backyard hut. I highly recommend this tour over any of the others.
Clear!

5.00We were the only ones who booked the tour so we had a private tour. Karin was a super sweet guide who took us into the mountains and told us a lot about the area. We laughed very much with her, and afterwards had a nice dinner at her house. Highly recommended!!
A little cardio in the Arctic

5.00It was an amazing and challenging ride, not suitable for those who have no condition as it is a lot of cardio and climbing mountain with very strong inclinations.Karen was an exceptional and friendly guide. We definitely return to schedule tours with Skadi.
Great day snowshoeing :)

5.00Great day! Lovely views from the walk up the hill, and lots of fun 'running' down the hill through the snow and the woods. Then had some delicious fish burgers in the bbq tent at Karin's place. Karin was a fab guide, very chatty and relaxed. Would recommend both Skadi and this activity from the list!

5.00AMAZING trip! Our guide Karin was in all matters superb! Great service, great knowledge of the local area, fun and cheerful, took pictures for us all the way, really prepared with an understanding for needs and wants, and great food after the hike! No complaints at all. The weather was unfortunately at bit cloudy on the way up, but we got to enjoy the sun and the amazing views on the way down and on Karin’s terrace while she cooked the food. We enjoyed the food in her cozy grill-cabin. Everything was fantastic! Can definitely recommend!
Jumping through glittering snow and fairytale forests

5.00This was wonderful!! Karin was one of the most heart-warming and kindest guides we ever had. She picked us up in the morning, gave us proper snowshoes and then we hiked up this beautiful mountain located directly next to the city of Tromso. I did the snowshoeing for the first time and it was perfectly doable, so don't be afraid if you haven't done it yet. There was a cute little cabin where we stopped halfway up the mountain to eat chocolate and drink tea. At the top we were super lucky with the weather, the sun came through the clouds and we had the most wonderful view over the ice blue sea, the snow white mountains and the roofs of the city. On the way down we were taught how to jump through the deep snow, it was so much fun. Thank you Karin for this unforgettable experience and the warm welcome that you gave us.
A perfect snowshoeing adventure

5.00It was a such a great experience with Karin, she took me snowshoeing even though I was her only customer for the day and picked me up at my place, which was very appreciated. The snowshoeing was so much fun, deep snow, lovely stops along the way and a beautiful view at the top. She even took photos that she shared very quickly afterwards. The trip ended perfectly with a really good homemade meal around a fire in her cute cabin. Thank you so much Karin!
