A spectacular and unique activity. Kenneth and his partners are super friendly!! Lunch is a typical Finnish roast. The tour is about the frozen sea!! The experience is very worthwhile.

Great experience with two very knowledgeable and friendly guys. A great way to get out of the city and enjoy a morning on the ice which feels a whole world away from the city. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have an exciting experience and get insight into what life is like for those living in the area.
Fun and friendship on the frozen archipelago!!

Originally booked snowmobile trip, but not enough snow, so we were offered the steel boat/hovercraft/flotation/ice fishing/lunch as way of compensation. So glad there wasn’t enough snow as we had an absolutely brilliant time on the ‘alternative tour’. All the Burn Out City crew were funny, friendly, and professional and knowledgeable, and we all enjoyed Kenny’s stories and general warmth and good humour!!!
Amazing!

Totally recommended! We did the alternative tour through forest and fields. The weather was also awesome and we had a wee bbq by the lake at the end of the tour!
Don't miss this safari!

What a great time!! We were disappointed that we couldn't go on the lake as it wasn't frozen enough but we were given enough notice so we could adjust our expectations. We went through fields and forest, stopped to warm up by a fire and had a warm drink. The sleds were very fast and powerful. Kenneth and Anders were excellent guides and entertained us with fantastic stories while also educating us about life in Finland. We were provided with warm snowsuit, helmet, boots, balaclava and mittens if needed. Absolutely take this tour if you have the chance. It was too cold and windy to eat outside so Kenneth invited into his house and fed us with meat pies, sausage and more. Dessert was melted cheese with cloudberry jam. Delicious!!
Wi-Fi was a top highlight!

This was an amazing experience. Kenneth is so hospitable and amusing! We felt so comfortable in his home and had a great time hearing all his stories. The weather was unusually warm, so the company had to adapt to no ice - and they did so while still making this a great day out. Lunch was great and so was the stop for warm drinks. Wi-Fi was a great bonus! I LOVE when pets are involved!

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our snowmobile trip with Kenny and Anders. There was not one wasted moment during the 4.5 hours. Their stories about Finland, its people and the countryside could be listened to for days. From the fire pit to the snowmobile to the table, it was an absolute joy. Thank you for the hospitality!
Kenneth was extremely...

Kenneth was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Even though because of the weather we could not do the snowmobile on the ice, we still had extreme fun to do it on the local farm instead. Kenneth also brought us around his home and provided us with a delicious lunch! Highly recommend

Incredible tour with more than special people. The tour begins at Senado Square, where a company car picked us up early in the morning. The company owners themselves welcomed us. Clothes and other equipment are provided for the activity, which is absolutely incredible. Breathtaking snow landscapes!
