With Frank on the team one can feel safe in the wilderness. With his many years of experience Frank manages to take stock of any situation so everything is taken care of one way or the other. He shares his knowledge and you learn something new every day.

I had probably not quite counted on salmon fishing in this category existed in Kalix river. Big and strong ones. The salmon fishing wasn´t more difficult than usual and 3 salmons in 4 days where the largest was around 11 kg is now my personal record. Not to mention the one that robbed my new and expensive line. The menu was also a bit of a surprise and as a single complaint, I now have to start running again. It was definitely an exciting and ACTIVE fishing trip, I highly recommend you.

The dream of a proper trip in the wilderness finally came true. It was a spectacular area and it is hard to believe that it exists here in Scandinavia before seeing it in person. The 5 days spent in places that were untouched since the dawn of time were far more than I have expected.  “We will be back”!
IT consultant Brian A. Østergaard

 

Back to reality and so it was. A wonderful but also demanding experience and it will definitely not be the last. I have the utmost trust in Frank. It was obvious that he was raised with nature. One of the good things about him is that he makes it all work without too much talk. Finally he is able to make you trust his abilities, which proofs to be correct. He clearly knows what he is doing.

A wilderness trip puts everyday life into perspective and Frank is a knowledgeable and inspiring leader. I look forward to Canada Mountain river.

Family vacation Lapland

Teepee wilderness tours, bring your family

In spring the white winter landscape is brought back to life by the midnightsun. The colourful Arctic fauna explodes and clear water rivers begin running again. The flowers and colourful arctic chars glisten as jewels and bring contrast to the polar mountain scenery. In the midnight sun you can go on a photo-safari looking for animals that come to drink. It is a huge experience to be in Lapland north of the polar circle spending time with everything that comes with the wilderness.  

 

By helicopter we reach our basecamp, located in one of the most breathtaking areas in Lapland. We have plenty of time to be together and find new freinds, children as well as parents. At the campsite we make our primitive stay in the wild comfortable. In the Lavvu we have a fireplace and here the children can spend the nights together with their new freinds. For the guided tours we also have personal expedition tents, for more privacy.


In a world that seems to change more quickly with each passing year, it is important to step outside our usual routine, to slow down, and to take time to remember what connects us all. We gather and capture some of our own food and gain insight to which plants that are edible. In the rivers we find the finest drinking water and superb fishing. Under the Arctic sky, the fresh ingredients we cook over the open fire are the ideal accompaniment to our fish, creating delicious meals.
