Description

Hop on a snowmobile and head out into the Arctic wilderness. Along the way, take in the changing winter scenery, from snow-covered forests to frozen marshlands, each month offering something a little different.

You are never too old

This is not something i wanted to do at all ( not my thing ) but my husband did . you are given excellent condition helmets and the mobiles looked very new . You are out for a couple of hours so yes, it is a bit cold, but as long as you are dresse properly its not an issue . across a frozen lake and then through wonderful forest paths through snowy trees, The guide, Nina, stopped to take photos of us . and she was particlarly kind, and i'd like to thank her for keeping an eye on us as we were always last - so she'd stop and let us catch up. so i didnt want to do it, but the guide made even me feel it was a wonderful experience . note - age no barrier - my husband is in his 80s and me 70s

Thank you so much for this truly heart-warming review. Your words made us smile. We are delighted to hear that the snowmobile safari turned into such a wonderful experience — even though it was not something you initially wanted to do. Knowing that our guide Nina made you feel safe, cared for, and included throughout the journey means a great deal to us. Her kindness and attentiveness are exactly what we strive for. Your note about age being no barrier is especially inspiring. It is wonderful to hear that you both enjoyed the adventure together, and we hope your experience encourages others to follow their curiosity, regardless of age. Thank you for your trust, your openness, and for sharing such lovely memories with us. We truly hope to welcome you back to Apukka again in the future. Warmest regards, Johanna / Apukka Resort team 🧡

Absolutely awesome experience.

What an absolutely amazing experience. We were collected from Rovaneimi city by the bus and arrived about 15 mins later. Very smooth. We were kitted out in their appropriate clothing which was extra warm and ideal. Boots, gloves, socks and full body outfit. Then a balaclava and a helmet. Our guide was Sergio and he was really friendly and helpful. The introduction was clear and he always checked everyone understood. The snow mobiles were out of thos world awrsone! We went across a frozen lake then into a woodland with a little stop for photos and some playing in the snow. There were several quick stops so you could swap with your passenger so they could ride too. The whole Apukka resort is lovely and we stayed after for some sledging and hot chocolate. My 18 and 22 year old said they would rate thos as a 9 5 out of 10. The only reason not 10 is because their legs got cold when sitting at the back of the snowmobiles - but that's their fault for not wearing more!

Disappointing experience

Very disappointed an boring going at a snails speed round an round a field is meant to be a wilderness experience but spent all our time in fields an no forest or wilderness experience. 2hrs on snowmobile got no hot drink or s’mores trip was meant to be 4 hrs very dis organised with no one telling you what to do after came back on snowmobile an most changed out of suits an left no one said there was a tour of resort which we found out about from friends who went next day. Very expensive trip for very little enjoyment was boring going slow round an round a field and no hot drinks as advertised

Enjoying like children

Excellent activity, the tour is Expectacular, small groups. They provided us with warm clothes for the activity. We went to ask and loved how Annalisa and Edgar did not receive reception to hire the activity. A 10 for both.

A must do and an amazing experience

One of the best experiences to do in Finland. Amazing from start to finish, thanks to friendly and professional staff and excellent snow mobiles. The safari takes you across the frozen lake and into forests. Stopping several times so you can swap the driving with your partner or take a break. Staff are happy and willing to take any photos/videos for you. After about 20km we stopped and the staff set up a stunning fire before roasting sausages and marshmallows for everyone to enjoy. The snowmobiles are easy to drive and you are given clear instructions by the staff at all times to ensure your safety and enjoyment. If you’re lucky you may see the Northern Lights on the Safari, but this is not guarantee. From start to finish the tour takes approximately 3 hours. All equipment including helmets, snow suits, boots, gloves etc provided. You’ll need a driving licence to operate the snow mobile. Would 100% book again. Thankyou to the staff who made the experience very enjoyable.
