Embark on an exhilarating Snowmobile Safari into the Arctic Circle Forest from Rovaniemi, offering a thrilling 2-hour experience that lets you drive your own snowmobile through Lapland's breathtaking winter scenery. This safari is your perfect opportunity to experience the freedom and excitement of snowmobiling while venturing into the unique Arctic Circle area, right outside Rovaniemi.
Your adventure begins with a comprehensive safety briefing and hands-on driving instructions from our professional guide. We ensure you feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel before heading out. Our snowmobiles are easy to operate, making this tour accessible for both beginners and those with some previous experience.
Once ready, you will drive your own snowmobile (two adults per snowmobile; single riding is available for an extra charge) through the pristine, snow-covered local forests. This journey offers continuous opportunities to enjoy the beautiful winter scenery, with its silent, snow-laden trees and untouched white landscapes. The actual riding time on snowmobiles is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, providing ample time to immerse yourself in the Arctic environment.
During the safari, we'll make short, strategic stops at picturesque locations, offering abundant opportunities for stunning photos. This allows you to capture the magic of the Arctic wilderness and create lasting memories. While the average speed during our shorter tours is adapted for safety and traffic regulations, the experience remains truly exhilarating.
A key feature of this safari is the chance to drive directly into the Arctic Circle forest area. This symbolic crossing of the Arctic Circle adds a special, memorable touch to your snowmobile adventure, making it more than just a ride – it’s a geographical accomplishment!

No prior experience is needed! This safari is beginner-friendly. Before the ride, your guide will give clear safety instructions and a driving briefing. Most guests ride snowmobiles for the first time, and it’s easier than you might expect.
To drive a snowmobile in Finland, you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driving license that entitles you to drive a car — typically category B (passenger car or van).
Please also make sure you meet Finland's age and health requirements for driving.
Yes, absolutely! Most of our snowmobile safaris are suitable for children aged 4 and up (please check the specific age recommendations on each tour page).
For safety reasons, children under 7 years old must ride in a covered sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Only the guide is allowed to pull the sleigh, as it requires special experience and skill.
If your child is at least 140 cm tall, they can ride on the snowmobile behind an adult - in this case, the child is charged the adult price.
We always prioritize the safety and comfort of our younger guests, so feel free to contact us if you're unsure about which tour best suits your family.
Snowmobile safaris can be physically demanding and involve vibrations that may not be safe for everyone. For safety reasons, we do not recommend this tour for pregnant women, as the snowmobile ride or sledge pulled by a snowmobile may cause discomfort or potential risk.
o
If you have any pre-existing health conditions (such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, or back/hip problems), please consult your doctor before booking. Participation is at your own risk, and it’s important that you feel confident in your ability to take part.
If special arrangements are needed (such as separate transport), additional costs may apply.
We also highly recommend personal travel insurance, as our liability only covers damages under Finnish law and motor vehicle insurance.
We specialize in small-group snowmobile tours to ensure a more personal and high-quality experience for every guest. Typically, each guide leads a group of up to 7 snowmobiles. During high season, group sizes may be slightly larger, but in such cases, we always assign an additional guide to maintain safety and comfort throughout the tour.
Yes, all snowmobiles are insured, but the driver is financially responsible for any damage caused. In case of an accident, the flat-rate self-liability is €900 per driver. You can reduce this liability to €200 per accident by purchasing an optional self-liability waiver:
This option is available during check-in before the safari begins. We strongly recommend it for peace of mind.
For most of our snowmobile tours, we provide high-quality thermal outer clothing to keep you warm and safe during the adventure. This includes a thermal overall, winter boots, mittens, a balaclava, woolen socks, and a helmet. A scarf is also available if needed.
You're welcome to wear your own winter clothes and boots if you prefer, but we strongly recommend using our gear - it’s specially designed for Arctic conditions and will keep you comfortable even in very cold weather.
Underneath the thermal suit, we recommend wearing your own thermal underwear, fleece or wool layers, and sport or ski socks. If the temperature is below -15°C, you may also wear your own jacket underneath the overall for extra warmth.
Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.
