☃ Group Size Limits
Maximum total number of people for different types of hikes:
Day hike: 5 people
Overnight camping: 2 people, no children younger than teenager
These are the limits when booking through this website, but you can always contact me before booking if you have a special case like camping trip for 3 or 4 people.
🌭 Diets on Hikes
I can accommodate almost every diet like for example veganism or gluten-free.
Please let me know of everyone’s special diet on the booking form and if you’re unsure if I can accommodate your’s, please contact me for confirmation.
☁ What if the Weather Is Bad
There’s no need to be afraid of bad weather, we’ll be alright with my gear.
However if there’s bad weather forecasted for the days you’ve booked, here’s how we can deal with it:
- We can change the date if it’s possible for you.
- We can change the destination if some other place has nicer weather.
- You can borrow waterproof clothing and shoes, and we can have lunch in a shelter, under a roof. On camping trips we have tents for shelter.
- You can cancel the tour if you don’t want to go because of the weather. I don’t take booking fees or prepayments, so you don’t pay anything before the tour.

✔ What You Get On My Hikes
- Very warm sleeping bag + very comfortable sleeping pad + spacious tent + light backpack = best hiking experience.
- The easiest way to go hiking with good gear without buying anything yourself.
- Enjoy hiking. You don’t have to do preparations, plan the route, find your way, search for campsite, do the dishes, or maintain all the gear after the hike.
- Get away from everyday life and find inner peace.
- Get to see the best things about the destinations.
- Take around half a grocery bag of your own stuff with you.
✘ What You Don’t Get On My Hikes
- Take everything you own with you. There’s limited space in the backpack and you have to carry your own gear.
- Restaurant’s menu. We hike for real, away from services, so we eat hiking food.
- Warm shower every day.
Are You Fit Enough to Go on a Hiking Trip?
Yes, most likely. There are many ways to do hiking and because of my private trips, small group sizes and lightweight gear, we can make the hike suit your fitness, not the other way around.
If you want to prioritize relaxing and just spending time in nature, it’s all good for me. Same thing if you want to see how long you can go for, I’m up for it.
In general for mobility you’ll be fine if you’re able to walk stairs up and down without problems and if you can sit down on the floor and get back up without help.
