Family ties and friendships - knowledge, experience and respect for nature
The Elding team is brought together by family ties and friendships. Three generations of family have worked together with many great employees over the years to make Elding what it is today. We also put great effort into recruiting and training new employees. Knowledge, experience and respect for nature are the most important qualities that we look for. We prioritise the need to maintain a good sense of morale and that's why our seasonal employees return year after year to work for Elding.
Working together to bring you the best tour possible
Over the years we have had great luck with employees, some of whom have been with us from the start. This includes nearly 50 full-time employees who take care of everything from running the tours to maintaining the boats. In summer our team grows to around 140 employees, as students and other personnel join the team to make our busiest season run smoothly. All of which ensures the best tours possible for you.
Need assistance or have a question? Our friendly team is happy to help! Reach out via phone or email, and we’ll do our best to respond within 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). For quick answers, don’t forget to check our FAQ page. Whether you’re planning a tour or looking for more info, we’re just a message or call away.
