- Coco742400Glass-roof Sleigh Ride and Traditional Winter Net Fishing - Amazing!We had a wonderful time with Arto. Using a glass-roof sleigh, we went out onto a frozen lake to try out traditional winter net fishing. It was such a cool experience ! I totally recommend it. We were able to eat what we'd caught directly, we've never eaten fish so fresh. The view over the lake was fantastic. Thank you for everything!
- choccoamylatte00Best Tour in Lapland!My friends and I booked the Winter Combi tour and it ended up being our favorite tour of our entire trip to Lapland. From the moment Terhi picked us up at our hotel, we had a feeling this tour would be different from all the others. Terhi was very personable and gave us all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the local community. As a biologist, she also told us lots about the local ecosystem. All just on the drive to their house! From there, we met with Arto, who took us onto the lake for an ice fishing experience we'll never forget. As a biologist himself, Arto was full of interesting facts. He was such a considerate guide, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He also had a great sense of humor and was a great cook! Unlike other big tour companies whose tours are often led by guides from other countries, AT Nature is run by just Terhi and Arto, who are locals in the community. You can tell how much thought they put into the tour from all the little details. If you want a tour with a personal touch, I highly recommend AT Nature! We wished we had more time in Inari so that we could book more tours with them.
- 391felixc00Must try in Inari!Amazing tour and lovely to meet Terhi & Arto, very warm welcome to their home and say hello to their new puppy Luna! The trip to the lake was amazing with a Disney like heated shuttle! Highly recommend the tour! Very authentic unlike other commercial tour!
- 103mihaelar00Just wonderfulWonderful activity, we warmly recommend it. Arto and Terhi were so kind and welcoming, for our very first snowshoe walk. We loved all the interesting facts, the beautiful nature and the lovely fire and homemade snacks at the end. Thank you!
- J3055EX00Excellent ActivityArto collected us in Inari and we did the 'Explore Ancient Forest and Mire Walk' with Terhi. It was excellent, a gentle stroll through woodland and over the mires with Terhi pointing out all sorts of things of interest including moose poo, fungi, berries and birds. We finished in their hide for close ups of red squirrels, siberian tits, willow tits, a siberian jay and male and female pine grosbeaks. Lunch by the open fire in the hide was very good with home caught and smoked fish, finishing with Terhi's homemade cranberry muffins.
- 725virginiej00Nature walk in summer (August)Together with my family we walked with Terhi, a biologist, through the woods behind her house to learn about nature. It was very interesting, she showed several plants and explained where and how they thrive in the beautiful finnish landscape. She explained several herbs you can find, mushrooms, how old the trees are, the difference between a forest where reindeers eat all the lichen and the forest that is not accessible for reindeers (she took us to a forest full of lichen, it's amazing). To end the nature walk, she invited us for coffee, a mushroom sandwich and moose sausage grilled on an open fire. It was delicious. I highly recommend the nature walk !
- 866ainab00Exceptional experience: ice fishing with a local biologist!This was the best activity of our trip in Lapland. We spend several hours in a frozen lake, learning the techniques of traditional ice-fishing with Arto. On top, we learnt about animal footprints, and how to recognise them on snow, and we end up the day with some delicious snacks and warm coffee by the fire. If you are passionate about enjoying nature in a meaningul way, I totally recommend this!
- maximiliang41200Best tour ever! An absolut must book when you are in Lapland!We had one of the most amazing nights we ever had with this tour. Terhi welcomed us in her house with a little welcome drink and explains us a few interesting things about the house, about Lapland and Finland. The ride with the heated vehicle was and a little adventure. We just stoped in the middle of a giant frozen lake. Tero and Arto made a fire to warm up some tasty food and coffee / tea. We really liked that. While we was eating the aurora started to be visible. AMAZING! It was an unbelievable and unforgettable night and we strongly recommend to book this tour when you are in Lapland!! However, if we will come back to Lapland, we will make this tour again!! Thanks a lot!!
- Ruirui S00Spectacular trip with the most amazing host!We had an amazing night with Terhi and Arto. The weather was so bad, it snowed the whole day and it was really cloudy. We weren’t expecting much but when we arrived at their house the sky was clear! Terhi welcomed us with a homemade Finland drink and introduced us their sauna. Then our lovely trip began. We went to a frozen lake in their special sleigh, the feeling of passing the woods covered with now was unforgettable! On the frozen lake we saw aurora!!!! We also cooked some delicious sausages and bread… the blueberry muffins that Terhi made were so yummy!!! Their friendliness and gentleness wade the evening even more forgettable. I can tell that they are truly passionated and in love with the arctic nature and life! Thank god that we’ve got the chance to meet this lovely couple.
- 278chiarad00MUST EXPERIENCE — AUTHENTIC LAPLAND!If you’re looking to experience true Lapland and get a feel for real life here, At Nature is the answer! We had some other tours and activities but none even come close to the experiences At Nature offers. Terhi and Arto will have you live with them their daily lives, self-sustainably, while keeping you safe and with every comfort. We started off with the Winter Combi activity and couldn’t help joining them also for their Snow Walk and Aurora Adventure. As biologists, they’re extremely knowledgeable and will help you really understand your surroundings, appreciating them to their fullest. On top of that, you will share their organic, home-made, delicious food, and quickly learn how to make the best of all situations, adapting and really enjoying whatever nature has to offer to its fullest. CAN’T MISS — HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
- VincentC321600Unforgettable experience.The best experience we had in Lapland during our week of holidays. We tried to hunt auroras (weather was not the best on this day but we saw some), discovered a part of nature thanks to all the knowledge of Arto, we ate (very well) in the middle of an iced lake during the total darkness of the night, discovered a typical house, had a tour in the Terhi and Arto's sleigh... So much things we've never done before in one evening. And Terhi and Arto were the best guides we've could have wish for, so nice and really interesting. Unforgettable.
- Marijke S00Amazing Lapland Excursion!Terhi and Arto were amazing guides and stewards of nature in Lapland! We booked a home visit and Aurora viewing tour with them and it was so much more! They explained all about the flora and fauna on Lapland, the history, and we had an amazing time cooking traditional foods on the frozen lake. Our group of 5 had so much fun. Terhi and Arto went out of their way to see if we could see the Aurora, but we had an amazing time anyway. I highly recommend At Nature!
- TheSlimLab00Lifetime experienceFirst and foremost, I'd like to personally thank Theri & Arto for allowing us to live such a wonderful, lifetime experience during this Aurora Chasing night with AT Nature. If you're looking to live a journey with nature passionate people and be able, not only to see northern lights, but also learn a lot about lappish nature, culture and wildness, this is definately THE place. Only regret we had is we didn't spend more time with AT Nature. The journey was pure magic, it started with a fresh welcome at Theri & Arto's place, then we went on a wonderful ride in the middle of the forest with Arto's amazing panoramic sleigh (pictures below), which led us to Mutusjarvi lake where we had a great diner under Artho's hut in the middle of the lake. Probably spent our best night of 2021, and after these past tough months, you just feel very grateful. Thank you so much to both of you (and your pretty dog) for the priceless service you provide to your guests and for making this night as magical as it could've been. Regards, Slim
- ipriatman00Absolutely Amazing Stay!We are very satisfied with our recent stay at AT Nature. The cabin was very private, away from noise and distraction, located next to the lake, where we enjoyed nature at its best. We were lucky to see northern lights the first night we were there, and even saw some from our cabin's window. The host, Arto and Terhi were definitely very kind and they went above and beyond to make sure we feel welcomed and comfortable. They gave us lots of information about the nature and their facilities, let us taste their produce (amazing fresh caught fish and cloudberries) and even managed to take pictures of our family with the auroras. We are very grateful for the one of a kind experience by AT Nature. We also enjoyed the snow shoeing experience in the forest. We certainly hope we could go back there again in the future. It is very recommended place to stay.
- 954rubenn00Amazing experienceAmazing experience and amazing hosts. Terhi and Arto were super good hosts (and bonus points for taking so much care to my visually impaired wife, your hand was really appreciated, by her and me). The trip was amazing, we got lucky and managed to see auroras as well as the most beautiful sky I have ever seen thanks to their knowledge of the land, but even if we hadn’t been lucky and couldn’t see one the trip would have been super great : talking with them about wilderness, life in Lapland, cultural points even ; the sled travel in the night ; the snacks that we got to hear ourselves on an open fire ; the tipi shelter where we could easily have slept. Everything was perfect from beginning to the end. Thank you very much to the both of you, I would recommend it to anyone 100% !

Very interesting experience, we had a very nice walk with some stops where we been told some informations about the plants and the animals living in the Lapland's woods. Both Terhi and Arto are very friendly, both ready to answer to our questions or to just have some small talk. We tasted some delicious homemade moose salami in a sandwich and muffin baked by Terhi. On the way back home we even got lucky and seen some reindeer, fortunately Terhi noticed them and stopped for us.
Would totally recommend 11/10
P.s. they have 2 dogs and the little puppy is absolutely adorable

We took part to the snowshoe adventure inside the forest; it was a really nice experience with our guide Terhi. She was really nice and well prepaired.
Since it was a great experience we had decided to join the aurora adventure planned for the evening with Arto. it was a winning bet as well, although we were not lucky since we did not spot the aurora. It’s a raccomanded excursion anyway.

What an amazing experience we
Had today with Arto and Terhi! Thank you once again!
The walk with -30°C in the forest was just perfect, with plenty of stops to admire the beauty and silence or the nature, hear interesting info about the surroundings from Arto, and take plenty of pictures! We finished the walk in a cozy and warm hit, where we warmed up ourselves at the fire, cooked sandwiches and sausages on the fire, brewed some fresh coffee, and had some tasty homemade cupcakes!
Arto and Terhi made sure every detail was perfect! It was the perfect way to continue celebrating our engagement in Lapland! Thank you!
