Great, and our very nice guide. We were able to take a long walk in the forest. But it’s a shame it wasn’t a circuit and we had to turn around at the end to get back.

Exceptional experience.
We did the snow safari with Paula. Exceptional experience and the Aroras shone bright! Paula really helped make the experience for us … it was an exceptionally cold night at minus 35! We absolutely loved it. The fire in the lake was a lovely touch and great fun! Paula took photos of us with the lights…she knew what to do! Highly recommended. Thank you Paula

Be prepared for a fabulous experience. Well organised, the snow mobiles were modern and they suit you up so you will feel no cold.

Good but not so good
The clothing was excellent to keep you warm. It was nice scenery but there were no long stretches to do a fast drive. The track was well use by other snowmobile. The time on a snowmobile was less than 1 hr more time in bus.

Amazing experience
We scheduled a one hour Snowmobile tour via Viator/Sunny Safari and it did not dissapoint. If anything, I'd recommend booking a longer experience. Carlos, our friendly and amazing tourguide (from Colombia, salud! Carlos if you read this) really did a fantastic job. From the moment of pick-up he was friendly and in for a bit of a talk (I always enjoy chatting up to some 'locals'). He was clear with his instructions, didn't mind a question or joke here or there- and asked us for which kind of ride we would like. My family (me, my oldest sister, dad and nephew) we enjoy a speedy ride, but we also enjoy a good view. So, we said a bit of both, but we do enjoy speed! ;-) Our group existed of another couple from Germany. So a total of 4 snowmobiles, including our guide Carlos. And it was everything we hoped for and more. It was astonishing ride, with areas of flat surface where we could really pick up some speed, there were bumps, and hills and turns (some slippery), but with the clear instructions of Carlos and the use of handsignals, everything went smoothly. At the halfway-point we could take pictures, enjoy a local hot berry drink and gingerbread cookie (provided by our guide) and switch drivers (if willing, which we did). All in all, like I said. An ABSOLUTE MUST. If you visit Rovaniemi, and I highly recommend Sunny Safari for giving you an experience you won't forget! The snowmobiles were amazingly comfortable and relatively easy to drive (we did have some experience with ATVs/Jetskis) and Sunny Safari also provides the necessary gear needed for the ride), a total package.
