1.Snowmobile Safari into the Arctic Circle Forest

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 433 reviews · 2 hours · from $150Our pick

Ride your own snowmobile through Lapland forests near Rovaniemi, with warm gear, safety briefings, photo stops, and kids in sleds.

“We really enjoyed snowmobiling. The company provided us with all the warm clothing, but I recommend wearing all your warm layers (thermal underwear, etc.) and putting on your own gloves underneath the ones they provide. We rode for about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Our guide, Adrian, was so good and even took photos for us (a big thank you for that!). On-site, they also offer snowmobile insurance for €20 — make sure to purchase it. Our expectations matched the reality, and we would definitely come back again.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 129 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $154

Two hours of guided snowmobile riding in Rovaniemi’s Arctic forest, with thermal gear, photo stops, and convenient pickup options.

“Across from Santa’s Village next to Ice Karting is a shop with some super rad snowmobile guides. No reason to bring gear they have EVERYTHING no extra charge. We had a cool young woman take us out snowmobiling on some trails and made a stop on a lake to take some incredible photos. Didn’t really get cold thanks to the helmet and cold weather gear making this experience just perfect. Plan your day knowing ice karting, snowmobiling and Santa’s Village are all within extremely close proximity you don’t even need to relocate your vehicle. Thanks for the memories we had a wonderful time!!!”

Ride snowmobiles through Arctic forests, meet reindeer and huskies, cross the Arctic Circle, and visit Santa Claus Village with lunch and warm gear.

“PHENOMENAL!!! 100% recommend. I compared a few similar trips and I'm so glad I went with this one. Our guide was local, he was amazing! We had such an authentic experience with the huskies and reindeer in the middle of the forest. Snowmobiles were lots of fun too. Lunch was also delicious. Everything was timed perfectly, not too much waiting around so our 7 year old had a blast! And if there was any waiting they had fires dotted around to keep us warm. You can do husky and reindeer rides at santa Village for a bit cheaper but there are huge queues and you can also see lots of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $118

Beginner snowmobile safari from Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi: thermal gear, slow 10 km/h ride, and easy instruction in English.

“Excellent fun and well managed. Our only complaint is that were never told that your payment only covers sharing a machine. We were just about to start and then they said we should have paid a supplement to have a machine each.....allegedly it says so on their website. But we booked through Viator not their website and nobody told us there until it was too late.”

Drive a husky sled in Rovaniemi, meet Alaskan huskies, enjoy hot drinks, and take a small-group guided tour.

The ride is 7 km (not 7-10) and takes about 30-40 minutes, including a driver change halfway through. Highly recommended.”
