Review your Adventure!

Die Tour mit Heli war unglaublich! Wir hatten das Glück, dass wir alleine mit Heli auf die Jagd von Polarlichtern gehen durften. Heli ist so eine herzliche, liebevolle Person und wir haben uns sofort gut mit ihr unterhalten und uns wohl gefühlt. Man merkt sofort das Sie ihren Job liebt. Es ist für Sie nicht nur ein Job sondern eine Leidenschaft. Ihre Kota und die Hütte am See sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und spiegeln vollkommen das Leben hier wieder. Selbst gebacken Kekse, Tee, Sekt und einer Wurst vom Feuer haben alles perfekt gemacht. Heli hat so viel Fachwissen und kennt sich super in ihrer Heimat aus. Es war rundum einer der besten Tage im Urlaub. Also wenn man eine Polarlichtertour, Rentiertour oder andere Sachen machen möchte, geht zu Heli. Sie hat auch Tipps für andere Aktivitäten und ist sehr gut vernetzt hier. Sie hilft wo sie kann. Wir empfehlen Heli weiter und werden wiederkommen. Sie hat ein sehr großes Herz und wünschen ihr für ihr Unternehmen nur das beste. ❤️

The Northen Lights Tour with Heli was such an amazing experience, everything was just perfect! Heli is such a lovely woman and you can tell that she loves what she's doing 🙂

Heli is very specialized with northern lights hunting! She knows exactly where to take us to hunt it even during our tour it was cloudy in Levi, so low chance to see it but she explained it to us and drove us north to somewhere the sky is clear. Therefore, we could see many shapes pf northern lights in various places. Furthermore, she also took us to her vacation house near the lake to experience the Finish barbecue in the camp fire and showed us about the local Finish lifestyle which is very Unique and hard to experience that. I also love how she welcome me and guide me around, I felt like hanging out with close friends rather than the tour guide. Plus she is a very great photographer 🤩 Definitely recommend to take this tour and I will come back.

Had spent a wonderful day with Heli the owner of Soma Adventures and Local. First on a husky and deer farm afterwards she had another great surprise for us and we enjoyed with 2 locals a typical 3 course meal over an open fire in a heated cabin the food was fantastic. Afterwards, she showed us the entire surroundings of Levi and told us a lot about the culture and current life there. Overall a really beautiful and private trip that we can recommend to everyone and would do again anytime, thank you very much dear Heli for your great support, you can feel that you are doing this with heart and soul 🫶🏻

Heli is a great guide! It was a very family atmosphere. She told us a lot about Lapland and we stayed in her family's forest cabin. She prepared us homemade bread and cookies that we could enjoy by the fire. She was the best guide we had during our stay. She took great pictures and we were lucky we could see the Northern Lights

Heli ist ein super Guide! Es war eine sehr familiäre Atmosphäre. Sie hat uns sehr viel über Lappland erzählt und wir waren in der Waldhütte ihrer Familie. Sie hat uns selbstgemachtes Brot und Kekse vorbereitet, die wir am Feuer genießen konnten. Sie war der beste Guide, den wir während unseres Aufenthaltes hatten. Sie hat tolle Fotos gemacht und wir hatten Glück, dass wir die Nordlichter sehen konnten.

Meet the reindeer

Lompolo is a traditional reindeer herding village. On some adventures we visit a genuine reindeer farm and meet local people who really live by reindeer herding.
