AT HOME IN ÄKÄSLOMPOLO
A love of Lapland.
Shared with you.
We’re Due North Safaris: a small-group safari company based in Äkäslompolo, with a big enthusiasm for getting outside.
HOW OUR STORY BEGAN
One winter became
a way of life.
Brian came to Äkäslompolo in 2013 for a winter season working as a safari guide. Lapland had other plans: he stayed, and in 2016 started Due North Safaris.
Snowmobiling was at the heart of that adventure, and it still is. Today, we welcome visitors into the forests, across frozen landscapes and out beneath the Arctic sky, sharing the place we’re lucky enough to call home.
Talk to our team ↗OUR WAY OF GUIDING
Small groups.
A personal welcome.
Your first time on a snowmobile? A week of adventures already taking shape? We enjoy helping you find the right days out. Our guides introduce the equipment, explain what happens next and leave room for questions along the way.
The best part is sharing those moments: a husky team eager to set off, fresh snow on a forest trail or the sudden hush when everyone looks up at the sky.
SEVEN FELLS ON OUR DOORSTEP
Our corner
of Finnish Lapland.
Äkäslompolo sits among the seven fells of Ylläs, beside Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park. Snowshoe paths, ski tracks and snowmobile trails offer wonderfully different ways to explore the surrounding winter landscape.
Choose the activity that calls to you, then send us your plans. We’ll confirm the arrangements together before your enquiry becomes a booking.
