What To Expect

Your experience begins with a meeting at our Safari Office, where you'll be greeted by your guide. You'll then gear up in warm winter overalls to ensure you're comfortable and protected during the ride. Next, we’ll check driving licenses for those who will be operating a snowmobile, followed by a safety briefing to go over important guidelines for a safe and enjoyable experience. Once everyone is ready, we’ll walk approximately 200 meters to the snowmobiles. Before setting off, your guide will give detailed driving instructions. After all the safety instructions are done, the real fun begins when it´s time to start your 1-hour long journey through stunning Arctic landscapes! About halfway through, we’ll take a short break, giving you the chance to take some photos and switch drivers if you are traveling in pairs. This activity is perfect for families and beginners as the route will be tailored to your needs. This excursion is suitable for everybody, but adults require a valid driving license to drive a snowmobile. Children and adults without valid driver's licenses can join the safari comfortably seated on a sled behind the guide's snowmobile.

A lot of fun! You get briefed so the ride is safe. They provide helmets. There is a break in between so you can switch drivers if you want to.. 1 hour was just enough for us to try it out.
Beautiful surroundings, fantastic tour.

A truly incredible experience to drive snowmobiles through the snowy forest. The scenery was amazing. The guided was great at going at a nice pace so it was fast enough but not too fast. Guide was also great at keeping the group together. It was a small group (4 snowmobiles total) which I appreciated. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the area where you get the rental clothing is very crowded and a bit compact. Also, we had a rental car so would have loved to meet directly on site, but instead we had to meet at Santa Claus Village and then take a shuttle to a different location for the warm clothes. Would have loved to just meet at the second location. The young kids are pulled in a sled behind the guide and their sled is not covered (some companies do do have it covered). Pro of it being covered is the kids will be warmer. Con of it being covered is that they wouldn’t see as much. Would highly recommend!

It was an amazing day experience, full of adventurous snowy bumpy rides. It was almost for 45 minutes & was worth it.

I was extremely disappointed with this activity, it was totally disorganised from start to finish. The website says this will last approximately 1.5hours but our experience took around 3.5hours, which was a disgrace. We had two small children with us and we purposely picked an activity which would not take more than a couple of hours. We spent most of this time waiting. The male staff at your facility were very rude, one man was shouting at a colleague in front of everyone and pushed passed my daughter almost knocking her off her feet at one point - she is only 5. There was one group trying to leave, one group coming back, everyone pushing past everyone else, no one knew what to do, where to go, it was chaos. I have never experienced such a shambles. We paid good money to do this trip and left totally tired out and disappointed. There was a total disregard for customer service and I feel all you are interested in was getting as much people and money in as possible with no effort with the customers.

Do not book this excursion through Viator. All confirmation emails and app info said 09:30 start. We arrived at the pick up point at 09:10. On the way to the pick up point I received a call from the office saying we were late and we would miss the experience. The man was unhelpful and just said we had missed it and would not receive a refund and we should have been there at 9. After checking all documents nothing gave a suggested start time of 9. When I arrived at the pick up point with 3 disappointed children and 4 adults, the ladies at the desk were more helpful and confirmed it was their error/ Viator error and gave us a refund. However, we didn’t get any rebooking options that were suitable and therefore missed out on snowmobiles in Lapland altogether. All other excursions with other companies were far more efficient.

Beautiful experience, crossing the snowy expanses with little light of night. Too bad you could not try the snowmobile a little more (some difficulties in driving for the first time). The group leader who did not have patience to explain the Guide, set us in motion different both my wife and I and I did not like this at all. Given the late hour we had the same experience divided. A stop halfway to take some pictures even in freezing temperatures
Worth it.
