“Nous avons passé un super moment, mon conjoint a réussi à pêché le seul poisson du groupe que nous avons remis à l’eau (il était trop petit). Le point de prise en charge dans le centre est malheureusement très mal indiqué, notre GPS nous indiquait pas du tout le même lieu où notre guide nous attendait. Au bout de 30 min de recherche nous l’avons enfin retrouvé. Petite collation du matin auprès d’un feu de quand, avec un petit café et une petite brioche très appréciable. Couvrez vous bien les mains !”

“We were a group of three girls and we couldn't have had a better tour guide than Lola on our trip on the 31.1. to Kurouma Waterfalls and on the 3.2. to Riisitunturi National Park! Lola always drove us safely to each destination and back and both tours were well paced and enjoyable. Lola is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, so we had an amazing time! Thank you so much!”
