Never snowmobiled before, but we went for individual machines rather than riding pillion for 1/2 the trip and swapping over, and glad we did. Although we had warm clothes, we opted for their offer of snowsuits on top. Excellent trip headed by Temu our knowlegable local Finnish guide, and his helpful young Italian assistant. Wonderful feeling going along the deserted frozen Kemi River in Rovankiemi, then through the twisting forest tracks to the isolated hut and hot drinks and food at the halfway stage. Great experience, felt safe and looked after the whole trip which lasted about 3 hours.

Safartica were great to book through. All provided equipment & clothing for the cold was great quality including the snowmobiles. The guide (Emile) was fantastic and although we arrived back at HQ over 1 hour later than planned (@ 00:15), this was due to Emile giving us time to experience and photograph the Northern Lights which were just astounding. The company clearly strives to provide the best possible experience for customers rather than rushing. The passion for this was certainly evident with Emile. A POSITIVE POINT TO NOTE. Safartica have their own insurance to cover customers in the event of an injury or medical issue. This is something that was a surprise to me when arriving at Safartica. Many from the UK would ordinarily have to add ‘extreme sports’ to their travel insurance which can be costly. This is a real bonus.

It was an exciting tour, as I have never driven a snowmobile in the dark. Also the sausages and cookies were delicious. We did not see any Aurora lights but if there is activity it will be visible form the place where they stop to have a break.

This was a wonderful time! The guides were great and was a beautiful experience despite not a lot of snow. Even got a glimpse of northern lights!

Having never been to a place quite as cold as Rovaniemi, I felt quite out of place in the beginning. By the time I was gone, I was incredibly thankful to have come out of my comfort zone and created so many great memories. This was largely due to having an enthusiastic and skillful guide named Noa. He had a great sense of humour and made sure to maximise our fun whilst prioritising our safety too. Despite the clouds covering the sky during my visit, I would definitely recommend going to Rovaniemi and looking at the beautiful snow forest on a snowmobile, going ice bathing, and much more. Hopefully you get a guide as good as ours!
