Unfortunately in the days leading up to and during my visit, Stockholm was experiencing a "topical heatwave" with temperatures above freezing so there wasn't enough snow to go snowshoeing. However, the hike was still fantastic as was our guide, Patrick! We hiked in a lush green national park and even walked across a massive frozen lake which was such a surreal experience. I'll definitely be rebooking with Green Trails for all my adventures in the future.

Es war ein unvergesslicher Tag. Alles war sehr gut organisiert und die Gastfreundlichkeit war Top! Am Ende konnte man in das eiskalte Wasser springen und dann direkt in der Sauna entspannen. Jeder sollte das mal erleben. Es war sehr schön.

An amazing day - more than we could have expected, we had such a great time as a couple on a private ice skating tour of one of the frozen lakes north of Stockholm. Highly recommended

This was a truly amazing experience. Andy was an incredible guide. It was magical to glide through the archipelago in a kayak! The fika, icy dip and sauna were unique and wonderful!

They were very accomodating to change of bookings and providing all equipment. Thanks.
