The clothing was excellent to keep you warm. It was nice scenery but there were no long stretches to do a fast drive. The track was well use by other snowmobile. The time on a snowmobile was less than 1 hr more time in bus.
Amazing experience

We scheduled a one hour Snowmobile tour via Viator/Sunny Safari and it did not dissapoint. If anything, I'd recommend booking a longer experience. Carlos, our friendly and amazing tourguide (from Colombia, salud! Carlos if you read this) really did a fantastic job. From the moment of pick-up he was friendly and in for a bit of a talk (I always enjoy chatting up to some 'locals'). He was clear with his instructions, didn't mind a question or joke here or there- and asked us for which kind of ride we would like. My family (me, my oldest sister, dad and nephew) we enjoy a speedy ride, but we also enjoy a good view. So, we said a bit of both, but we do enjoy speed! ;-) Our group existed of another couple from Germany. So a total of 4 snowmobiles, including our guide Carlos. And it was everything we hoped for and more. It was astonishing ride, with areas of flat surface where we could really pick up some speed, there were bumps, and hills and turns (some slippery), but with the clear instructions of Carlos and the use of handsignals, everything went smoothly. At the halfway-point we could take pictures, enjoy a local hot berry drink and gingerbread cookie (provided by our guide) and switch drivers (if willing, which we did). All in all, like I said. An ABSOLUTE MUST. If you visit Rovaniemi, and I highly recommend Sunny Safari for giving you an experience you won't forget! The snowmobiles were amazingly comfortable and relatively easy to drive (we did have some experience with ATVs/Jetskis) and Sunny Safari also provides the necessary gear needed for the ride), a total package.

Beautiful for beginners or young families. Not for the experienced drivers and/or riders. This one was a very short ride.
This was awesome!

The guides were very caring and made sure we were safe and aware of all the rules especially for beginners. To have the opportunity to ride a snowmobile in the Arctic Circle is an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this magnificent experience!
Fun time!

Getting picked up and dressed appropriately for the snowmobiling was all very efficient. Once the safety/driving brief had taken place we set off and got going. The snowmobile was fun to drive and it was a nice route - you just need to make sure you don’t get stuck behind some slow!! What impressed me most was when we came to park up, our guide said we’d got back 10 mins early and asked if we wanted to go back out for a short drive - my boyfriend and I were the only ones who wanted to keep going and they let us do a couple of loops whilst they filmed us.
