Pioneer Work for Sustainable Travel

Sustainability has been one of our core values since day one in 2014.  In July 2022 Skafur-Tour was certified by Biosphere and today we are glad to tell you we have also obtained the Sustainable Travel Finland label.

Skafur-Tour is mainly creating tailormade tours to Finland from all over the world for individual travelers and small groups.  We co-operate with sustainable travel portals like Responsible Travel and FairAway as well as individual tour operators sharing our values.

In our opinion, a tour operator is best able to influence on ecological sustainability by increasing the duration of the tours, creating low carbon tours and paying attention not only on the quality of the service but also to the environmental actions of their service providers.  Social responsibility is shown by trusting on local guides and making our guests familiar with local culture. Experiencing, not sightseeing.
