5.00It was a simply incredible experience and we all enjoyed it very much. The children were thrilled that they were allowed to drive the snowmobiles themselves for an even longer period of time and even got a driving license. Thanks again for the wonderful moments!
Amazing tour, perfect for families

5.00As a family of five (19 yo, 17 yo and 8 yo) we had a great time. Our guide Manon was super friendly and fun. She took good care of the whole group (total of eight persons). Our youngest was in a sled with the guide by herself and had a good time as well. Afterwards Manon made a fire for us, we booked the family friendly tour, so we enjoyed warm drinks, marshmallows and sausages by the fire. Our youngest was able to drive the mini scooter herself at that time which was supercool. She even got a mini-driver license at the end which she will cherish forever probably :-) The surroundings were amazing, truly magical.
Very nice trip. Ideal for families.

5.00It was a very nice trip. We made two stops in the middle of the forest. We were able to take photos and admire nature during the stops. In the end, the children could ride the snowmobile. And of course there was also a sausage. A very successful day.
Mandatory activity in Rovaniemi

4.00Good experience driving snowmobiles. Something to do if you visit Rovaniemi. Young children go on a sled with the guide. Then they have a circuit with mini snowmobiles where they can drive in a safe environment and always with the supervision of a guide. They include clothes and a small sausage peck. Also, it is located next to Santas Claus Village, so we refused transportation back to the city and walked after the activity and linked two visits the same day. It's a five-minute walk.
Excellent option for tours

5.00We had an amazing time with Damianos our guide! We were 2 adults and 2 children (8 and 5 years old) on a private tour. The whole team were lovely from the moment we were picked up. The guide takes the kids in a covered sleigh whilst we were behind following the guide. We stopped in the forest and took some pictures. Damianos was very kind and we had lots of fun with him. The kids were able to ride the kids snow mobile at the end. A very memorable day for us all. Thank you for a great experience!!!
I recommend it.

5.00I did several excursions with different companies and certainly the best was Wild Nordic. The treatment of Bethlehem and Federico was spectacular, they did their best to give us an unforgettable time. They are very well organized and certainly know how to treat the customer. I would always repeat with them.
Great experience for adults and kids with Marcos as a guide!

5.00Great experience with Wild Nordic and Marcos as a guide!!!! We are a family of 4 adults and 4 kids and we all spent a great afternoon with the snowmobiles. After 1 hour driving through the forest, the kids had the chance to ride their own mini-snowmobiles: they loved it!!!!! Marcos prepared some sausages in the fire and he created a great atmosphere. Thanks Marcos for a great experience!!!!!!!
