NATURE CONSERVATION THROUGH ADVENTURE TRAVEL

”Pieter & Pierre were wonderful hosts – they’re knowledgeable, caring, and incredibly helpful. The equipment was in good condition – the blades were in excellent conditions as well. As for the experience – it was breathtaking! The views and the nature around the archipelago is simply stunning and the sense of freedom from being on the open ice is hard to put in words! Can’t wait to come back! 🙂”

”It was absolutely worth the money! Our guide Manny was friendly and very knowledgable and passionate about the forest. He was happy to chat with us and give us information on the forest, but he also knew how to keep quiet so we could all enjoy the peacefulness of the area. The group was small with just 7 of us plus Manny so that meant we could ask lots of questions. We hiked for about 2 hours then stopped for lunch which was freeze dried reindeer stew. Manny showed us how to build a fire (I got to light it myself with a tinder stick and knife!). Sitting at lunch on a rock overlooking a lake, you couldn’t hear anything except nature’s sounds. It was beautiful. Then Manny took us ‘off-track’ for the second part of our hike, which made us feel like we were really immersed in the landscape. Overall it was an awesome day!”

”We were fortunate to have a sunny day, see lots of eagles, herons, kingfishers, cormorants, gulls and even a seal. All of the logistical details were beautifully arranged, from transportation, food, water and snacks, kayaks and gear. The leaders were experienced, professional, personable, and knowledgable about the natural history of the area. It was clear that they take pride in and enjoy leading these trips. They took pains to tailor the day to the participants interests and abilities. I would happily go on another trip with this company.”

”We had an absolutely brilliant day kayaking around the beautiful stockholm archipelago. My husband and daughters had kayaked before but it was my first time and our Guide Ben was really good and patient, so encouraging. This was a real highlight of our visit to this beautiful city and when we come back to Stockholm will definitely choose Green trails and hopefully Ben for our next outdoor adventure.”

”Pieter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and very flexible to adjust the tour to meet our expectations. After a very nice dinner on the verge of the forest, we went on a hike for about 1 hour to try to spot some deer, wild boar or moose. Unfortunately, we did not see anything at that stage and were beginning to feel a bit deflated. Our wait was well worth it as we finally managed to see a moose just a few meters away on the side of the road, on the edge of the forest. A few meters farther, we spotted another one. We had the most amazing experience, as the moose came down on the little dirt road, allowing us real close up. In the end, we saw 6 moose, which was great. The safari is a bit pricey but worth it as there is a real excitement in seeing these animals in the wild.”

“Being a beginner sailor, it was really helpful and fun to have Pierre onboard. I’ve learned a lot and immediately felt more confident sailing my own boat by myself thanks to the experience gained during the day. I highly recommend this to anyone who would want to quickly get enough skills and confidence to start sailing!” 

”I took a one-day sailing course with “The Green Trails” and it was just lovely. The captain was a really warm, kind och knowledgeable person who helped med become a better sailor. My experience was all out positive. Warm recommendations to “Green Trails.”

”Just WOW. What an experience. The Stockholm Archipelago is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited and the Green Trails 1 day sailing trip was the perfect way to see it. Personal, friendly, unique and stunning. This is an absolute must for anyone wanting to see the Archipelago.”

”Ben our guide was excellent in finding out what we wanted, showing us what to do and looking after us in general. We did some great kayaking, taking in amazing views, stopping for coffee and breaks and short hikes. We jumped off cliffs into rock pools, ate wild salad as well as sun bathing. By the time we reached our camping island we were ready to stop. We set up camp, watched the sunset, swapped stories around an open fire and enjoyed Ben’s cooking. The archipelago is beautiful and peaceful. The guiding was of the highest order and the firm a pleasure to deal with. They coped with our dietary requirements without a fuss. Green Trails offer a very special experience and we look forward to using them again.”

”we had a full day of hiking, trekking on trails, off piste and on frozen lakes. It was a small group of 4, including Eric, our guide. I can only repeat what has been said before – Eric is a funny guy – loads of jokes, witty stories and interesting facts about the area – which he clearly knows inside out. We made a fire and had the most amazing lunch ever (it is supplied by Green Trails). The best day we had in Stockholm. If you are in any doubt – book it and enjoy a proper day with this amazing nature 🙂”
