This Arctic GM Tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We spent about 2.5 hours snowmobiling through the snowy Arctic night, and it felt unreal from start to finish. It was very cold, so make sure you have good gear to stay warm. The heated snowmobile handles were especially appreciated. The snowmobiles were also easier to learn than expected, though you still need to be careful while driving. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and checked on us often to make sure everyone was comfortable. The small group size made the whole experience feel more personal and enjoyable. The best part was getting lucky enough to see the northern lights, even without a big solar storm forecasted. Seeing them while out snowmobiling at night was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Arctic.

This experience was truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The booking process was remarkably seamless from start to finish. Our tour guide was outstanding, demonstrating remarkable care, friendliness, and kindness. When I initially booked this tour, I never anticipated witnessing the Northern Lights or having the opportunity to stand and drive across a frozen lake. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and I would gladly repeat it.
Be ready for one of the best experiences ever! Snowmobiling on the frozen lake and inside the forest! Breathtaking
We really enjoyed the tour. Is was more than we’ve expected! Halfway there we stopped for an amazing aurora and when driving over the frozen lake the sky exploded with northern light. Our tour guide Daniel was doing everything he could to make it an unforgettable experience. The bbq in the tipi tent by the fire afterwards was nice to warm up while is was -25! Transportation from the Rovaniemi office took about 40 minutes and was really comfortable. Thank you so much 😊
I really enjoyed the activity . It was one of the most fun experience. Nevertheless i was going to write the company about something which really upset us. During the the drive I was seated upfront with my wife and also there was another couple who witnessed something: the driver was playing with his phone while driving replying whatapps, youtube and facebook. This upset me a lot and I told the lady dressed in red ( your guide) to say and do something about that. She replied saying that the bus driver didn't speak English as we shouted at him very loud and bad to stop him doing that! They didn't care at all. I don't find it very funny playing with our lives. He has the responsibility of 60 people. Bad accident happens all the time due to this attitude. That was something unbelievable. We were shocked
Snow scooter was great fun! We were lucky experiencing breathtaking Aurora. Great guide (Siiri). Comfortable clothing included, pretecting us from extreme cold.
Snowmobiling activity cancelled the day before, and almost a month later we are still waiting for a refund. Not recommended
A wonderful experience! Sergio made it super special! He didn’t give up until he found the right spot and we were able to enjoy the majestic Aurora, take pictures and warm up with tasty blueberry juice!
It was a night to remember! We immediately saw the northern lights as we drove towards the snowmobile route and the guide Jonah, was so kind to take pictures of us, make us feel welcome and just his expert knowledge of the area and aurora. We had lovely hotdogs and hot chocolate in a beautiful campfire setting before we continued our snow mobile adventure. Overall the night was about 6 hours long and well worth every cent.
Great adventure on snowmobiles- our guide Siiri was awesome! She showed us Northern Lights deep in the woods- very cool. Siiri was so hospitable with a nice cup of hot chocolate by the fire halfway through our adventure. Even made ys hot dogs snd corn and then back on the snowmobiles. Great fun. Thank you Siiri!
This snowmobile tour was epic. They had snowsuits and helmets ready after they picked you up from your vacation rental (not just the hotels!). Then we went out of the city center to a snow covered forest. Siiri was a fantastic guide and went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable and safe. We had a BBQ and very, very nice snowmobiles to ride on. Loved it! My kids were tall enough to ride as passengers instead of on the sled, so that made it even better!
They canceled it 4 hours before stating that is not enough snow even that we found couple of other companies that does this tour . We finally book it with another company
We booked with the 8 hour guaranteed plan, but the guides were so kind and enthusiastic that they even went around a few places to look for us in Sweden (and actually when we got back to our hotel it was 10 hours away) and we saw the beautiful Northern Lights! It will stay with me for a lifetime! Thank you very much.
Great experience! Everything is perfect from start to finish. The guide was very nice, always attentive and professional, made us feel immediately at ease even at the first experience. Fun assured in total safety. Highly recommended!
A team of highly qualified, highly experienced people fought hard to catch the Northern Lights and we did it. We also had a great night tour through the jungles over the frozen lakes with snowmobiles...and the end was ice fishing and fishing in the frozen lake when it was cold, we walked to the warm house prepared for us, and the hot springs and food were waiting for us...there was a great time.Thanks so much. Their staff guides are very decent good people...they do a superhuman effort had one wish for us to be happy...thank you again
Extraordinary and unforgettable experience! We went on a snowmobile tour in Lapland and, thanks to the choice of the evening tour and a bit of luck, we also managed to see the Northern Lights in the middle of a completely frozen lake: a simply magical moment! The guide was fantastic: a very young French guy, super nice, prepared and really excited about what was making us live. His passion and energy made the experience even more special. At the end of the hike we had a barbecue in the forest, a beautiful atmosphere: sausage sandwiches, hot chocolate and hot tea, perfect after the cold of the snowmobile. We were really very satisfied with the whole organization and the experience in general. We absolutely recommend this agency to anyone who wants to experience Lapland in an authentic and exciting way!
Activity at the top!! I recommend 100%! The guides were very friendly, very clear explanations We stopped on the frozen lake where we could see an aurora! The meal was also very nice, they took the time and we enjoyed it very much I would do it again with great pleasure!!
The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice. The guide was very courteous from the pick-up and drop-off to the camera. It was a great experience!
It was a spectacular experience, surrounded by nature, driving through the bush and crossing an icy lake. At the end, we warmed up in a tepee with a bonfire, drank hot tea and ate barbecued sausages. A unique experience, very well organized and that we would repeat without hesitation. Fully recommended. ❄️✨
They are super dedicated, the walk we did was too much! We are a family of 4 people and everyone liked it! The guide was very attentive and helpful, on the way we still saw the aurora boreal! Spectacular!
Beautiful adventure in the woods outside Rovaniemi, a path where you can have the pleasure of driving a snowmobile on snow. Recommended!
