We do arrange pick up to accomodation further than 8km from the city center. The pick up may apply extra cost for accomodation such as : Apukka Resort, Arctic Snow Hotel, Pohtimo, Motelli, Norvajarvi, Arctic Wilderness lodge.

However, if your accommodation is located within a reasonable walking distance from our office (<500m), we may kindly ask you to join us directly there, for ecological and logistic reasons.

In case of mobility impairment we may come to pick you up.

We operate all of our tours in small groups only, to ensure the best quality of services. We limit all of our activities to a maximum of 8 participants. Therefore group of over 8 people cannot be arranged for logistics reasons. We can also arrange private tours or larger group experiences upon request. Please contact us at info@nordicodyssey.net 

On the contrary, all of our tours require a minimum of 2 adult participants. Any solo traveller is very welcome to join a departing tour at the standard price. 

If the minimum number of participants has not been met yet, we kindly invite you to look over another date/time.

Feel free to reach out to us to check our availability. If you cannot be flexible and wish to open a new departure, we may arrange the tour just for you at some extra cost (please contact us).

Yes, the required minimum age is indicated in the page for each activity.

It is not recommended at all to travel with an infant in Lapland during winter season. Some activities are accessible from 4 years old, but in reality all the activities are recommended from 8 years old, for security reasons due to the cold. The vulnerability related to their young age, the lack of experience in extreme conditions (and therefore, a poor knowledge of their own physical limits), and a feeling of cold different from adults are all parameters that make children more at risk to freezing temperatures. During the season, we have an average of -15 to -20, during daytime, it can even lower sporadically or at nights.

Therefore, we do not accept infant and toddlers on our tours. Some big companies of mass tourism accept toddlers and even infant on tour because they are less concerned about the security aspects. If you choose some of them, please make sure that you have the guarantee to always have a “hot spot” (campfire) nearby where your child can stay warm, also ask if their guides are certified for first aid.

All our team will happily welcome and guide you in English. Moreover, all our guides and staff member are french speaking. They may come from France or somewhere else but they will gladly answer all your questions in French as well!

Everything depends on the activity and the tour. The best thing is to reach out to us via email : info@nordicodyssey.net. We will adapt and offer solutions case by case in regards of the special measures that should be taken by us for you to enjoy the excursion!

As guides, we are responsible for the safety of the group.

We propose a winter set including thermal overalls and winter boots. Our thermal overalls are made in Finland and can handle temperatures down to -20 degrees. Our winter boots have a thick sole and isolating double lining.

Thermal overalls and winter boots can be added as an option for an extra 5€ when booking the activity. Most of our guests are usually already well equipped, and as we do not want you to pay for a service that you may not need, this is why we don’t include it in the price of the tour.

You may also rent the gear for the whole duration of your stay. You can rent this set for 15€ per set and per day. If you book a program of activities with us, you can benefit from the discounted price of 10€ per set and per day.

Clothing rental requests for long periods can be made by email only. We recommend that you book your equipment in advance as our availability may be limited during the peak season, especially concerning the children’s sizes. Please note that our overalls are to be worn over your own clothes, therefore we kindly ask you to dress accordingly.
