Feel the thrill of snowmobiling through winding forest trails and open fell areas, where snow-laden trees and vast landscapes create a true sense of wilderness and remoteness unique to the far north. Every turn reveals new Arctic scenery, combining excitement with unforgettable views.
Along the journey, pause at a scenic location to enjoy light snacks and hot drinks by an open fire. Take time to warm up, relax, and experience the peaceful silence of the Arctic wilderness before continuing your adventure.

5.00Yurvi was an excellent guide, took us to an ideal place to see the auroras and photograph them and was explaining us throughout the tour. He made us some beautiful photos and made us a barbecue with salt and sweets that we enjoyed and celebrated as a prize for beautiful and exciting auroras.

5.00This was up there with one of the best experiences during our stay in Finland. Our guide contacted us 2 days before the experience to let us know a pick up time from our hotel and duly arrived on time on the day. We were lucky that our for our snowmobile adventure there was just one other couple and a family of four so it felt like the guide had more time to focus on us. After we were provided with our helmets (other accessories were available such as warm gloves, warm coveralls etc) we were taken to the snowmobiles where our guide when into great details explaining how the snowmobiles operate and how he would signal us during the tour should we need to slow down or stop and then we were off. Driving the snowmobile was easy and we were soon up to speed and heading into a route through forest. The scenery was amazing with trees frozen in time and our guide kept checking to make sure we were all keeping up. We made stop so the guide could take pictures for us all so we all had a memory from the trip and then half way through our tour we stopped to cook sausages in a nearby hut and had warm berry drinks which was really lovely and a quick way to warm up from the cold outside and gave us the opportunity to speak to our fellow travelers. Soon it was time to get back on the snowmobiles and an opportunity for our partners to take a turn at the controls. All in all we were out for over an hour and a half and probably on the snowmobiles for just over an hour. I felt it was a good value trip with a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

5.00It was my 1st time riding a snowmobile. Our guide Jay was super professional and extremely good who made our experience great. He was patiently taking pictures, guiding us and looking after us all the time. It's a one of a kind adventure. But it was freezing(more than usual) so make sure you dress properly

5.00Went with instructor Sam. Had a very good time thanks to him. Unreal experience, doesn’t get better than this. Was very cold out there but they give you proper attire and Sam had hand warmers on deck when needed.

5.00Amazing experience, perfect to have a good time and have fun with friends. Very nice scenery and perfect weather. In addition, the bonfire in between is perfect for relaxing. We have all been able to drive and enjoy the experience of both passengers and drivers. Fabian has never been our guide, and it couldn't have been better. Very nice, patient and easy to talk to. Fully recommended.
Very good small group experience

5.00The performance lasted long enough for us each to enjoy our turn driving (about 1 hour each). Riding in these snowy landscapes was very enjoyable. The breaks allowed us to take pictures. The little hot drink break was a plus. The instructions were clear and our guide attentive and helpful.
Snowmobile adventure in the tundra

5.00Very friendly guide, everything well explained and repeatedly questioned, very considerate. Very nice long ride through the tundra, extended the tour on request. It was wonderful! The snowmobiles were very easy to use. Possibly the hint to the participants that the handles get hot during the ride and thicker gloves are necessary.
