NATURE CONSERVATION THROUGH ADVENTURE TRAVEL

”A truely unique and eventful experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and most importantly very passionate about the Swedish wildlife and environment. The safari included dinner outdoors by a camp fire and a sweet surprise at the end! As well as that we did some trekking in the beautiful forests coming across plentiful wild deer and frogs! This all built up to the moment we saw a huge moose. An incredible feeling which was made all the better by the guide’s genuine excitement! It lasted over 6 hours and we even got taken back to our hotel. Overall a wonderful day and great value. I will definitely be trying out another Green trails tour soon.”

”Having done a few kayak trips around the world, this is by far the best. Highly recommended! Our guide Pierre took the time to check what we wanted to get out of the trip, and delivered exactly that – a relaxing and enjoyable paddle around some beautiful islands, some great camping, and just the right amount of time on the water to suit the group. Everything was taken care of in a thoughtful and well-planned way, including firewood in case we couldn’t collect enough ourselves, extra sleeping bags for everyone in case the September night was cooler, and more than enough food. Pierre kept a relaxed but close eye on us, and hit exactly the right balance between tips and instruction, and letting us explore a little ourselves. Finally, the efficiency of the booking and advance info from Pieter and team all delivered on expectation on the day. Overall a great trip!”

”Wonderful nature, highly experienced and friendly guide, excellent equipment. The guide took us off trail and taught us how to use the compass. We saw many animal tracks (no real animals unfortunately) and crossed two frozen lakes. Cosy campfire with great food from the restaurant where we met in the morning. An amazing experience to be the first to step on the untouched snow on the lake. Overall a great day in nature that we will never forget. Therefore highly recommended!”

”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.”

”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!”

”I’ve kayaked all over the world and never had an experience like this! Our guide Ben was personable and highly knowledgeable. We kayaked past several islands and stopped at one to take a beautiful hike to a lookout point. Ben walked barefoot in the forest as he pointed out everything you could eat and gave other interesting information about the flora and fauna. Bit of a forest guru too! Afterwards, we had a nice lunch and swim on the island and then kayaked back looking at the condors circle and dive and hear fun facts about Swedish culture and folklore. Great guidance, great equipment, great company!”

”A trail network as complex as the London underground. It is always mind-blowing being out in Hellas, as it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, yet you can still see Stockholm’s skyline. The trails in Hellas are flat and technical with rock slabs, roots and north shores. The trails take you past stunning open landscapes, dense forest and peaceful lakes. The riding is demanding, pulse pounding and you have to work your bike hard to find the smoothest lines and keep your flow over the rough terrain. It is a unique place in many ways and suits both beginners and expert riders.”

”My boyfriend and I just returned from our trip and I cannot thank our tour guides enough for making the experience so great. They were so knowledgeable and we ended up being the only ones on that tour that day so it felt like a very personable VIP experience. We were taken on all sorts of different habitats within the nature hike. Great for pictures and just soaking in on Swedish native wildlife. We chatted a ton and bonded eating our vegetarian lunches, it felt like we were hanging out and having a nature day with some friends. I highly recommend them for there professionalism and just overall attention to having customers experience something memorable. Thanks again I hope to be back!”

”I stumbled across the Green Trials before our trip to Stockholm, and boy am I glad we did! Coming from London, ice skating like this is so unheard of. Our guide Pierre was so nice. Very welcoming, accommodating, and really listened to us. Thank you for creating such a great memory of our time in Stockholm, recommend to anyone!”

”Took a sailing trip with Pierre at Green Trails. Had a great time learning how to operate a sail boat and even spent time steering the ship. It was educational and fun, a great first introduction to sailing, something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. We spent a few hours out on the water, had lunch and fika in a beautiful bay that we had all to ourselves. Pristine! After a quick swim in the (cold!) water, we sailed back home. It was a perfect day. We had some sun, some wind, a bit of rain, everything a good sailing adventure should entail. When I come back to Stockholm, I will not hesitate to do some more activities with this company.”
