Roope Roine
International Mountain Leader (IML) - Kayaking guide
I have 35 years of experience leading groups in the mountains and on the sea.
What do I believe in? I have three principles in my work.

Safety
A satisfied customer is one who feels safe. Customer safety comes first. A trip can be exciting without being foolhardy.

Respecting nature
Excursions to untouched nature are becoming more and more popular. That's exactly why we all have to be even more careful in how we treat nature. In practice, this means that we carry our own trash with us and leave as few memories of our trip as possible on the mountains. Simply put: we behave well.

Balance
Always strive for balance, harmony. The two principles I mentioned first are the building blocks of this third. The trip becomes a nicer and more memorable experience if we feel that we are in balance with ourselves and the surrounding nature.

I have guided mountain hikes: in the Nordic countries, Nepal, Svalbard, Greenland, Argentina, Wales, Scotland, France, Italy, Spain, Albania, Georgia and Switzerland.

I have led sea kayaking trips in: Nordic countries, Wales, Ireland, Mexico, Sardinia, Turkey, Canada, Greenland, Scotland, Spain and Croatia. I speak Finnish, Swedish and English and I can get by in Spanish.

Good service requires education and experience, but above all passion.

Regards,
