Embark on an exhilarating "Snowmobile Safari with Ice Fishing Experience" – a unique adventure that lets you discover Lapland like a true local! This thrilling 3-hour program perfectly combines the excitement of snowmobiling through the Arctic wilderness with the peaceful charm of traditional ice fishing. Starting conveniently from Rovaniemi, this tour offers you an authentic glimpse into the favorite leisure activities of the local people.
Your adventure begins at our Safari Center, easily accessible from the Santa Claus Village area. After a warm welcome and comprehensive safety instructions for snowmobile driving, you'll hop onto your snowmobile, ready for exploration.
Drive your snowmobile through the picturesque, snow-covered wilderness surrounding Rovaniemi. Our expert guide will lead you along pristine trails, across vast frozen lakes and rivers, reaching the perfect, tranquil spot for your ice fishing experience. Enjoy the fresh Arctic air, the stunning winter scenery, and the exhilaration of gliding over snow. The actual snowmobile riding time is approximately 1 hour and 30-40 minutes, providing ample time to enjoy the ride.
Once at our secluded fishing spot on a frozen lake or river, you'll be introduced to the traditional art of ice fishing. Your guide will show you how to drill your own hole in the thick ice, set up your fishing gear, and start luring the fish. This is a wonderfully peaceful and authentic Lappish pastime, allowing you to connect with nature and experience the stillness of the Arctic.
After enjoying the tranquility of ice fishing, we'll gather around a crackling campfire to enjoy hot drinks and snacks, soaking in the serene atmosphere and sharing stories from the wilderness.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
