Great experience

We had a fantastic day. The hike was so beautiful and well suited for us as beginners with medium fitness levels. The frozen waterfalls are very impressive. Our guide Bruno showed us some vantage points that we would not have found on our own and gave us a lot of knowledge. Vegan sausages were also organised on request for the barbecue. We felt completely safe at all times. Many thanks to the whole team and to our guide Bruno. *** We had a fantastic day.

Great experience

We had a lot of fun driving. We were a small group and our guide Clemence was super friendly, explained everything to us and also inquired during the ride if everyone is okay or someone needs help. We would book the tour here again at any time and can recommend it without restriction. Very reliable and uncomplicated communication in advance.

What an incredible...

What an incredible experience we had with Snowride Lapland! Our guide Mario was exceptional. He was funny and relaxed while still being very professional. The snowmobiles were very good quality and even came with hand warmers for both driver and passenger. My wife was very nervous to drive but after great teaching from Mario she tried out driving and had a wonderful time. There are many options for snowmobiling in Rovaniemi and I can’t recommend this operator enough for their quality, professionalism, and overall experience!

Aurora Arctic Ice Floating in Rovaniemi, Small-group

emese_n, Feb 2026

Most unique way to see the lights

It was so amazing, unique. I did as a surprise for my bf for his bday . Our travel guide , I believe his name Victoria, was so nice and play his part and told the other passengers to play along . On our way to the lake he stopped showed us the beautiful aurora lights , took pictures than we were off to . In the cabin he explained everything suited us up . He took videos and pictures each of us getting into the lake . Turned the lights off ( but he remained right on the dock ) so we have can see the light to the fullest. 😍😍 As coming out he helped me since I got stocked 😂 on the ice 😂. After taking the suit off we had hot tea , cookies . My bf had an amazing time ! These survival suits are fun to float in !! No water got in! Highly recommend this activity since it’s super unique!! 😍😍😍

Snowmobile Night Tour Rovaniemi in small group

Josh_F, Feb 2026

Our nighttime snowmobile...

Our nighttime snowmobile tour with Snowride Lapland was awesome from pickup to drop-off. Guide Jonas was the best. He was super professional, friendly, and just made the whole thing unforgettable. Clothes were in great shape, snowmobiles basically brand new for a smooth, safe ride through the dark. They seem to keep groups small, which felt personal and chill, and everyone we met was genuinely nice and helpful. Trip would've been solid anyway, but Jonas took it to the next level. Killer at his job and a great guy all around. Highly recommend!

Snowmobiling Quick Spin - 2 h snowmobile experience in Rovaniemi

Dedacosm, Feb 2026

The best experience of my life

We did the tour on February 10 with Safartica. As soon as we arrived they provided us with the suit, shoes, helmet and even socks and balaclavas. Literally we didn't have to think of anything! As chance would have it, in the organized tour me and my three friends were the only people to have booked it for 11:00 in fact it was the 4 of us plus the guide and it seemed we were doing a private tour, the guide that was assigned to us was Elise, I think the words are simplistic to describe her but I try, she was an exceptional guide, she made us feel literally at home, she was of an exemplary education, told us many anecdotes and made us visit lovely places. She had a huge patience allowed us to take lots of photos and videos without ever rushing, I think a good guide can also be judged by what you feel at the end of the experience , I think it was the best experience of my life and I have to thank elise for that ♥️ I can't explain in words what I private during the tour but I recommend it to everyone♥️

Valeria_S, Feb 2026

A dream!

I highly recommend this experience. They were kind and helpful when I contacted customer service for information about the shuttle. It was very convenient because it was included in the price. The staff was kind and helpful; the guy who was there before the changing rooms/showers was really good at explaining everything to us. We used the sauna and jacuzzi surrounded by snow and snow-covered trees! It was truly a dream I'll remember for the rest of my life! Thank you! Highly recommended!

My tour guide, Natasa,...

My tour guide, Natasa, was incredibly friendly and truly knows how to hunt the aurora. Even though it was rainy and cloudy when I arrived, she still managed to find the perfect spot and ensured we had an amazing view of the northern lights. She also did a great job explaining the science behind the aurora, which made the experience even more interesting. I really enjoyed the trip, and I truly appreciate the beautiful photos she took for me. That's a wonderful and memorable experience overall.
