Jakob is the founder of JaRo Guiding, he grew up on the Åland islands in southwestern Finland and studied sportfishing in Värmland for 3 years and nature guiding in Kiruna for two. He has worked as a guide in Abisko since 2014 doing everything from snowmobiling to Norway sightseeing and aurora photography tours.
Sofia is Jakob's girlfriend, she grew up outside Gothenburg in southern Sweden, she studied engineering. For a long time she dreamt of seeing the aurora. Today she spends all winter in Abisko with the northern light outside the window. She loves snow and will go ice fishing at any opportunity.
Edward is from southern Sweden and is a graduated mountain leader. He recently moved to Absiko after he fell in love with the area during an internship. Ask him about telemark skiing, wooden canoes or cave digging and he will talk for hours.
Amanda is originally from southern Sweden but has like the rest of us fallen in love with the north. She has now earned nicknames like The little lady, The witch of the aurora and Aurora DJ
We are looking for one more team member for the winter season of 2026-2027 from December to early April. If you want to work with us send us an e-mail and tell us a bit about yourself and why you want to come work in Abisko for a winter.

Matteo PaganiI had the Fjord Sightseeing and Photography tour with Jakob. Really interesting view points, landscapes and interesting and funny stories tells by the guide. Jakob is super, he completely matched ours wishes of the trip and doing even more of expected. Thanks to him I discovered the swedish sense of humor. Recommend 100%
Linda HufschmidWe booked the private fishing experience and it was absolutely fantastic. We were even able to include a snowmobile ride at short notice, which made the experience even more special.
Jakob, our guide, was incredibly friendly and did his job a solid 12/10. The fish we caught was beautifully prepared and served right away with delicious side dishes. He also set up a tent with a small heater, which kept us wonderfully warm throughout the day.
It truly felt like a day straight out of a picture book, and we would book this tour again without hesitation. It was more than worth the money.
Thank you Jakob!
FFOOI had a great experience with Experience Abisko. The team was professional, well organised, and very reassuring despite the challenging weather. The guide were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly prioritised safety and guest comfort. I would highly recommend Experience Abisko to anyone visiting the area.
Evgenia IliadiIt was an amazing experience. The guides were super helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our ride a lot. Definitely recommend :)
Robert HealeyHad an awesome day with Edward the guide. Out for a couple of house ice fishing, but the snowmobile sledge ride was an experience itself.
We have spent good time on the lake doing ice fishing. The weather was splendid and the experience unique. The technique allows to see the fishes in the clear water down the hole. We caught a very nice artic char. Edward our guide has been really nice and a good facilitator. Bonus was the snowmobile on the lake !
