David Rodríguez Obregón
Lead Guide
I’ve always been drawn to places where nature feels bigger than you.
Originally from Spain and trained in Sports Science, my journey has taken me from working as a personal trainer in Spain, the United States, and Australia to discovering a completely different way of life in the far north.
For four winter seasons, Finnish Lapland became my home. Living and working hundreds of kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, I worked as a safari guide, spending long winter days exploring frozen lakes, forests and Arctic landscapes, taking guests snowmobiling and snowshoeing, searching for wildlife, and waiting beneath dark northern skies for the Northern Lights to appear. Those years taught me not only how to work and thrive in a harsh Arctic environment, but also how much I enjoy sharing these wild places with people from all over the world.
And then came The Yukon.
A new landscape, new stories, new wildlife, and a whole new chapter in the North. I’m here to keep learning, keep exploring, and discover what makes this part of the Arctic so unique. I may be new to the Yukon, but I’m certainly not new to the North.
For me, being a guide is about much more than showing people a place. It’s about creating memorable experiences, sharing genuine enthusiasm, and helping guests connect with the ''Mother Nature'', Pachamama.
The North has already taken me this far.
I’m always ready for the next adventure — are you?
Let’s see where it takes us next.
