What To Expect
Snowshoeing is one of the best ways to explore the Lappish nature and it offers great opportunities for photography too. On this tour, we will take a journey through the snowy depths of Arctic wilderness. Snowshoes grant us an opportunity to reach and connect with untouched nature and take in the glorious atmosphere of Arctic forests. From Rovaniemi we will travel by minivan to our location hidden in the woods. We provide you with high quality snowshoes, especially made for deep-snow hiking and take a few kilometres’ hike in the wilderness. During the day, we will have a break in a wooden shelter where we will build a campfire and enjoy some snacks while photographing the Arctic nature. The tour is guided by a professional photographer who will also teach you some tricks and techniques for your own landscape and nature photography. If we are lucky we might also see some wild animals during our adventure.

Did not meet expectations

2.00The walk itself could have been done in about 15 minutes, but lasted about an hour with photo shootings, not included the photos taken before the walk. The snack in the kota lasted more than one hour, I booked this tour because of the snowshoe hike, not because of the kota. So of a 3-hour trip just 15 minutes of hiking. Then 8 photos of me and 9 of my companion but 15+ of the other participants. And last but not least, we paid 60 Euros to get picked up outside of Rovaniemi, an then you contacted us in the morning one hour before pickup to tell us, you could pick us up one whole hour later than planned, because you would pass our hotel anyway on the way to the hike - 60 Euros!!! Sorry guys, but really really disappointing. Would expect a partial refund of this trip! Only positive reviews for the clear images and the interesting information of the finnish and sami culture.
FLUFFY SNOW

5.00SO MUCH FLUFFY SNOW!!! This was such an incredible experience! Was amazing to wonder through the Forrest surrounded by pine trees covered in snow! Oren was amazing and allowed us to run around in all the deep snow and live our childhood dreams of making snow angels and having snowball fights (and managed to capture some great pictures on camera)! Oren also gave us some handy tips on how to build a fire and get it nice and hot!
Unique Experience

5.00An amazing day in the wilderness with our wonderful guide, Sarah. She was so knowledgeable, engaged and made everyone feel welcome and included. The fire, sausages and Berry juice after the hike was sooooo hygge! (That's "cozy" in Danish). Thanks for a wonderful day!
Great experience

5.00We had an incredible time with our guides Oren and Louane during a snowshoeing activity. We took the walk in a magnificent forest on the edge of a frozen lake covered with a meter of snow! It was an isolated and quiet place! We were able to observe many animal tracks in the snow. Oren gave us lots of information about nature! The weather conditions were perfect: -25°C, sun, clear sky! The trees were covered in snow and we enjoyed superb light. We were very lucky! After the walk we made a campfire in a Kota and ate excellent sausages with hot drinks. Oren and Louane explained a lot to us about Lapland and the Sami people, it was very interesting. We can't wait to see the photos taken by Oren. Beyond Arctic offers great activities while taking care of nature. They carry out ecological activities to reduce their carbon impact. They also lent us warm clothes for the walk free of charge. It was essential with the arctic temperature! We will keep wonderful memories of this activity, thank you!
Great nature walk and a workout

5.00Oren has done it again! Our group was pretty small, but we were able to hike the area and more. There are some spots that he took us to that you see mostly in pictures from other users or something out of a nature documentary. Something about nature, snow and the clear skies puts me at ease. Maybe it's the quietness or in awe at the beauty of the scenery. I just felt connected. Snowshoe is not easy but not impossible. Foots of snow and having snowshoes on make it a nice workout. Plus Oren is a great photographer! Of course we did setup a campfire in a teepee and had a small lunch. Oren also explains the mission statement of Beyond Arctic which has reinforced why I chose this company. They are environmentally friendly and leaves nothing behind.
Nice guides but very short walk and not an adventure

2.00I thought this tour was very poor. The guides were very young and friendly but the tour itself was a 30 minute, at best, loop walk through a forest. Hardly an adventure as described in the blurb. Then back to a tepee where we cooked a sausage and took some more photos before back to the city. There was no information about the area or the landscape. It felt like a tick boxing exercise.
Magic experience
