GOLD - World Responsible Tourism Awards 2015

We took GOLD in the Animal Welfare category of the 2015 World Responsible Tourism Awards at the World Travel Market in London, after an assessment that began over six months earlier. From the largest-ever long-list of c. 200 companies across over 69 countries, just 37 from 20 countries made the final cut, ours the first Finnish company to get that far.

Travel and Hospitality Awards

The Travel and Hospitality Awards named us 'Cultural Tour Company of the Year' for Finland (2019-20) and 'Adventure Activity of the Year' for Finland (2019).

04

The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Award

In 2006 Anna received a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Award for leading an inclusive crossing of the Greenland Icecap with paralympic athlete Karen Darke on the team. We have rehosted most of the expedition website so the kit and clothing developed for it can help others follow in Karen's footsteps.
