5.00My wife and I had an amazing time with this Snowmobile Safari. It was easy to find the store and the team at Arctic GM were fantastic. They helped you fit the right gear and the clothes and helmet they gave were great quality. The snowmobiles were new and worked with no issues. Nice sausage and bread after the tour, by a camp fire was good. Great tour and experience, would 100% recommend.
Incredible experience

5.00Very friendly staff helped us with the parking. Snowmobile adventure was fun and resonably priced for 75 euros per person. They ride in groups of 4 snowmobiles on pur trip so it felt really personal. (We wish we could go faster though, but the paths were not really suitable. We went max 20km/h) The bbq is small, you get a warm drink and a hot dog. But you can warm up in a tent with a campfire whule waiting for the vans to pick you up. We were happy, it was well organized.
You are so funny!!

5.00Beautiful experience, we had a lot of fun the guides super attentive to our needs and super competent. After the tour they took us to drink a hot drink and eat a small hot dog in their typical tents
Misleading & Disappointing.

2.00I’ve done several activities via this trusted site on my travels. I was really looking forward to this adventure on the snow. How bitterly disappointed I was. First we met at the office to be given safety helmets and optional wet weather clothing by a Turkish woman. The Russian guy at reception wisely advised, we wouldn’t need the extra clothing in such warm conditions. After waiting around 45 minutes in the office and having a complimentary instant coffee, we made our way to the coach. There were around a dozen or more tourists. The coach journeyed approximately an hour to the site where the snowmobiles are located. We were then split into three groups. I was in Adam’s group, he was Indian and in his late twenties. A nice guy who explained how to operate the snowmobiles. After a brief three minute induction, we set off in tandem. There were seven of us and we cruised along a track at an average speed of 20 km/h. After thirty minutes it was time for a quick break and a photo opportunity. Then another thirty minutes on the same track. We circumnavigated a loop never going off piste once. It was all very civilised and a little boring if I’m truthful. Then it was back to the bbq!! This was nothing more than cheap hot dogs in mustard and ketchup. It was like an ikea cafe really. Close by were three wig wams and a huge frozen lake. There were three reindeer who had seen better days. Very under nourished and pitiful I’m sad to say. This trip is misleading. It’s not a three hour activity and there’s no really bbq. I felt short changed and misled.
Thrilling experience
