    Our guide was the best—knowledgeable, accommodating, prompt, professional, kind, and friendly. The tour was very enjoyable and we loved being in the forest with our snowmobile.

    Be prepared for a fabulous experience. Well organised, the snow mobiles were modern and they suit you up so you will feel no cold.

    Good but not so good

    kathleen_P, Mar 2025
    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

    Kylie_K, Mar 2025
    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.

    Great fun. Knowledgeable professional staff. Good consideration for safety. Sami was a fantastic guide. Thank you

    This was awesome!

    Zaiga_B, Jan 2025
    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!

    ljaypetherbridge, Jan 2025
    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.

    Really nice long ride on snowmobile via national snowmobile roads in the Arctic. Very nice guide Tan, super friendly and very professional.

    Silvija_G, Jan 2025
    Flexible to some chages concerning participation, great guides, clear instructions for the first timers.

    Good Experience

    Sanjay_A, Dec 2024
    The pick up was done on time and thermals etc given were of good quality. Our guide gave clear instructions on how to operate snowmobile. it would have been better if the venue for snowmobile included a flat surface where we can drive just as we feel rather than driving straight on the track.

    Would recommend

    danielg98122, Dec 2024
    Pickup was a little frustrating. There were no clear markings as to where to stand to wait for pickup at Santa clause village. But the guides were great and the experience was well organized and executed. Wish I had booked a longer ride though. One hour of riding didn't feel long enough. Haha

    A Must Do!

    Jenny_H, Mar 2024
    Beautiful landscapes. Lucas our guide was awesome! We 100 percent recommend. They provide you with a warm jumpsuit with boots and gloves. They stop and take pictures. And they warm you up with hot blueberry juice and yummy cookies!

    Great for families with young children

    Jenny_H, Mar 2024
    Magical experience! Beautiful landscapes. Lucas was our guide. He was amazing. We were a group of 8 including children ages 12, 10, 7 and 4. The 4 and 7 year old weren't tall enough for the snow mobiles so they got pulled in a open buggy. We stop for some awesome photos and get hot blueberry juice and yummy cookies, perfect for warming up. We all loved this activity can't wait for the younger kids to get bigger and all ride the snowmobiles. Unforgettable!

    Super nice!!

    Our guide Luigi made this tour an amazing experience, it felt very personable and private. Very informative about the area and seemed to really love what he did, which made it that much better. He made to made sure to explain things properly, as it if was my first time snowmobiling. I would definitely recommend and do this again.

    Great, and our very nice guide. We were able to take a long walk in the forest. But it’s a shame it wasn’t a circuit and we had to turn around at the end to get back.

    Une belle balade

    Jason_R, Jan 2025
    Super safari, l’endroit était magnifique, notre guide était vraiment sympa et nous expliquait pleins de choses. On allait pas assez vite à mon goût et j’aurais aimé resté plus longtemps à déguster les gâteaux et regarder le paysage. Mais très bonne expérience

    1ere expérience, dommage chemin cabossé

    angelique_D, Dec 2024
    L chemin était trop cabossé, il était impossible d’accélérer un peu et surtout moi qui ait mal au dos, le tour opérateur n’avait pas signalé cela.

    Abbastanza bello

    Eric_S, Dec 2024
    Non avevo mai fatto un giro sulla motoslitta, per cui ho voluto cogliere l'orccasione per provare quest'esperienza. Il giro é stato piacevole e divertente, il percorso purtroppo era un po' accidentato a causa del ghiaccio in quanto non nevicava da qualche giorno, ma comunque abbiamo fatto il nostro giro in motoslitta senza problemi. La guida ci ha fornito tutte le indicazioni di sicurezza e sui comandi del mezzo prima di partire, mentre durante il giro faceva da apripista indicandoci il percorso.

    Esperienza da...

    GIANCARLO_G, Dec 2024
    Esperienza da sconsigliare sulla motoslitta si sta pochissimo meno di mezz’ora e non si vedono panorami splendidi

    Non è stata una bella...

    GIANCARLO_G, Dec 2024
    Non è stata una bella esperienza.. era stata garantita una gita di circa un’ora in motoslitta con panorami fantastici invece abbiamo percorso circa dieci minuti in motoslitta e poi subito la sosta con bevanda calda e biscotti e poi ritorno sullo stesso sentiero per altri dieci minuti . .. nessun panorama fantastico.. escursione da non consigliare per qualità prezzo

    Bien pero corto

    Pablo_F, Nov 2024
    Una experiencia divertida. En realidad debido a la falta de nieve, el Paseo no fue por el bosque si no en un lago helado. Esto deberían de avisarllo por si alguien prefiere cancelar.... Estuvimos exactamente 30 minutos montando en moto. 15 minutos, parada de otros 15 minutos para tomar unas galletas y un té y otros 15 minutos de vuelta.
