About us

Galddoaivi is the name of an Arctic Mountain  in the middle of Finlands largest wilderness area. That area is named after that fjeld and so is this Safari Company.

We have been organizing guided fishing and hiking trips since 06/2017. Our visions are fresh and innovative and it is possible to do quality fishing at every excursion we offer.

Our values

We want to keep the fishing waters rich in species and sustainable to further generations. That means that we encourage to release the big female fishes and try to harvest the fish population equally from every specie when we take the catch. Fishing for us is a way to catch food, and we don’t go out there just to hook them. Still catch and release has a big role in our selective fishing.
