    This experience was fun overall. I don't know what I enjoyed more --- the snowmobile ride over the frozen river in downtown Rovaniemi or the visit to the reindeer farm itself. As we sped out to the farm, I was amazed by all of the activity on the river. We whizzed by people ice fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking with their dogs and barbecuing. Could the reason why the Finnish constantly rate at the top of the happiest countries in the world be that they are always outside? The scenery is breathtaking! The Reindeer Farm was a unique experience, albeit the sleigh ride was rather short. The hosts were friendly and very funny. After the sleigh ride (I mean driving test) and a brief visit with reindeer we got to feed, they invited us into a small lodge for refreshments of warm blueberry juice and traditional cookies. They also regaled us with stories about the area, including the preserved animals on the lodge walls. Afterwards, we all trekked over to the farm's "police station" where we were all issued driver's licenses. The one issue I would like to put forth is for the people who do the hotel pickups and drop-offs. It says clearly on your voucher that you have to be on time! The driver will wait 10 minutes before leaving without you. This driver spent an inordinate amount of time driving around Santa's Village looking for the other two passengers who were supposed to be on the trip with us. For 25 minutes, these people were searched for and phoned repeatedly before they were located. That's pretty annoying for those who read all the instructions and showed up on time!

    We had an absolute ball on our snowmobiling experience. Rob made everything so easily and fun. Even in a big group, Rob made us all feel safe and reassured that we were doing a great job driving our own on the safari. He was so encouraging of less confident drivers and he conscientiously stopped to take gorgeous photos of the group throughout the trip. I could not recommend this experience more highly!

  • Nice tour, bad organization by tour guide

    We have enjoyed the tour as a family BUT the guide had a terrible pick up and drop off plan to pick us up first and drop us off last which means 1.5 hours in a buss as, really not acceptable,

    A great experience, with a super very attentive Nico guide, snow bike ride in the forest at night where everything is frozen under the snow, until the arrival at the reindeer farm for a hot drink and kisses around a brazier, magical experience and end up sledging with reindeer 👌

  • Awesome!

    New to snowmobiling, we chose Safartica to try this activity and we also wanted to see reindeer during our stay in Lapland. We did this activity on November 13th, before the big tourist season in Lapland, the climatic drives were ideal, no wind, no fog and a rather mild temperature (about -2), and surprised, we were alone for the excursion with our two guides! Byron and Hugo, two guides of Spanish origin, made sure that this outing was really a great day for us: they advised us well for snowmobiling, are very interesting, offered us several times to take pictures and were really kind to us throughout the excursion! In the end, we left the center of Rovaniemi around 12:45, time to equip ourselves, and we returned at night around 16:30. We felt like we spent the day with them and it was really fun! Excellent day, and again a big thank you to Byron and Hugo!!
