Frequently asked questions 

A:

A:

Absolutely, bringing your own food or drinks on the tour is no problem at all! Many guests like to bring snacks or special items for their personal needs. We kindly ask that you avoid eating during transfers to keep vehicles clean and comfortable for everyone, and to be tidy and considerate when consuming food during the tour. Please note that alcoholic beverages are generally not included and may be subject to specific tour rules.

A:

Yes, we do our best to accommodate special dietary requirements. Please inform us about any allergies or dietary preferences at the time of booking so we can prepare suitable meals or snacks.

A:

Most of our tours require a minimum of two paying adults to operate. However, there are some exceptions, so please always check the specific tour description for details. Solo travelers are welcome to book; if the minimum group size is not yet met, we will confirm your tour closer to the date, suggest alternatives, or offer a private tour option.

Consumption of alcohol is not allowed before or during any activities on our tours for safety reasons. If a participant is suspected to be intoxicated, they may be refused participation in the tour. However, once the day’s activities are completed, you are welcome to relax and enjoy a drink.

For tours that include a sauna experience, we are absolutely fine if guests want to bring a small bottle of beer or similar to enjoy during the sauna. Please note that alcohol is not sold at our sauna venues, so you will need to bring your own.

A:

No previous experience is needed! All our Combo Tours that include snowmobiling or husky sledding begin with clear safety instructions and a demonstration. Our guides ensure that even beginners feel confident and enjoy the adventure. Children and non-drivers can ride as passengers.

A:

All our tours in Lapland are designed to operate in a wide range of Arctic weather conditions - snow, wind, and cold are part of the adventure! However, your safety and comfort always come first. Our guides continuously monitor weather and trail conditions. In the event of extreme weather (e.g., temperatures below -30°C, blizzards, poor visibility), we may adjust the itinerary, shorten the tour, or replace certain elements for safety reasons.

We will always do our best to ensure you still have an enjoyable and memorable experience - even if the Northern Lights hide or the snow gets too deep!

A:

Yes, most of our tours can be booked as private experiences upon request. Private tours offer greater flexibility, personalized attention from your guide, and a more intimate atmosphere — perfect for families, couples, or small groups. If you're interested in a private version of any tour, just let us know during the booking process, and we’ll be happy to arrange it.

A:

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.

A:

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.

A:

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.

A:

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.

A:

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).

  • Your physical license must be with you during the tour (photos or digital/mobile versions are not accepted).
  • The license must be written in the Latin alphabet, or be accompanied by an official translation into Finnish or English, or be an international driving permit (IDP).
  • If your license doesn’t have category B, but shows you’re allowed to drive a car under another system, you’ll need written proof or clarification from a reliable source (again, in Latin alphabet or translated).

Please also make sure you meet Finland's age and health requirements for driving.

A:

We recommend dressing in multiple warm layers to stay comfortable and protected from Arctic weather conditions. Start with a good quality thermal base layer (thermo underwear) that wicks moisture away from your skin and keeps you dry. Next, add an insulating mid-layer such as fleece or wool, which traps heat and provides warmth without bulk. On top, wear a waterproof and windproof outer layer (jacket and pants) to shield you from snow, wind, and moisture.

Don’t forget warm accessories: insulated gloves or mittens, a hat that covers your ears, and a scarf or neck gaiter to protect your face and neck. Sturdy, insulated, waterproof boots with good grip are essential to keep your feet warm and dry during outdoor activities.

For winter tours, we usually provide specialized winter gear such as outer jackets, snow pants, boots, gloves, and helmets when needed. However, bringing your own comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing underneath the provided gear will ensure the best overall experience.

Layering allows you to adjust your clothing as you move between outdoor activities and warmer indoor or heated areas, helping you stay comfortable throughout the day.

A:

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.

A:

Absolutely! Our tours are designed with beginners in mind — no previous experience is required for either snowmobiling or husky sledding. Safety and enjoyment are our top priorities.

For snowmobilig Finnish law requires that all drivers:

  • Are at least 18 years old
  • Hold a valid driving license (EU or international)
  • Follow the guide’s instructions at all times

Before every tour, we provide a full safety briefing and driving instructions, and you’ll get used to the snowmobile in a safe environment before heading out on the trail.

Important: Snowmobile drivers must hold a valid driving license. EU/EEA licenses are fully accepted. For non-EU licenses, please check if your country’s license is valid in Finland — in some cases, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be required. You can verify your eligibility at traficom.fi.

For self driving Husky safaris, you don’t need any experience either. Whether you're driving the sled or just enjoying the ride as a passenger, our guides will teach you everything you need to know. The dogs are well-trained, and the trails are safe and scenic — perfect for first-timers.

So don’t worry — whether you're here for adventure or just to try something new, we've got you covered. Just bring your sense of curiosity — we’ll take care of the rest.
