Our guide was very good, nice and engaging. We crossed Lake Inari by snowmobile with a final traditional meal and fed the reindeer. Very nice experience that I recommend.

My girlfriend and i went on a snowmobile tour to Lake Inari with Tina and our guide Jain, and it was absolutely incredible! Riding across the frozen landscape was an unforgettable experience. After the tour, we enjoyed a delicious meal inside a cozy igloo, which made it even more special. We also had the chance to feed the reindeer, and it was clear they are very well cared for. Without a doubt, a truly amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

My wife and I booked this during our trip to Lapland and had an amazing time! Laura was an awesome guide, she took us on a fast and fun snowmobile ride across Inari Lake. We were able to try ice fishing, learn all about the area, and take some great pictures. The lake was beautiful and the lunch was tasty. We recommend going in the morning, so you have more daylight during the snowmobile ride. Be sure to say hi to Perro, the dog, when you feed the reindeer!

It was a beautiful drive across Lake Inari. It was a wonderful experience. We went with our children aged 16 and 18 who also thought it was very cool. Lunch was tasty and fun in a tippi and beautiful stories were told by the guide.

We had a great time with Ivalo Safaris. The booking went very easy. Communication with the company was very good. The tourguide was very nice and helpfull, he knew a lot. We were in a small group with 2 other couples, which was very nice. We got nice warm clothes and boots, which was really needed on the lake because it was very windy today. We also booked ice fishing, which was a very nice addition. Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish, but it was a very nice experience. We even saw a wild reindeer on the lake. The lunch was great; we had reindeer soup with bread, sausages and a very delicious blueberry pie. I would highly recommend this tour with Ivalo Safaris. We had a great day. Thank you for this experience.
