Tour description

Embark on an extraordinary snowmobile safari, delving into the essence of Lappish outdoor life. Glide across the frozen lake to our secluded fishing haven, guided by an expert well-versed in Arctic fishing techniques. Learn the time-honored secrets acquired through years of experience, with the opportunity to catch fish such as the European perch. While you fish, your guide skillfully kindles a campfire, setting the stage for savoring a delectable snack by the fireside. Sip on complimentary coffee or tea, completing this immersive journey into the heart of Lapland’s winter charm.

What’s included?

• Winter clothing (thermal overall, thermal boots, woollen socks, mittens, balaclava)
• Transfers
• Hot drink
• Snowmobile driving lesson
• Snowmobile ride
• Ice fishing experience

Please note

Not suitable for children under 4 years old.

Children under 15 years old will join the safari on a heated sledge positioned behind the guide’s snowmobile. We highly recommend that one of the parents sit with a small child in the sledge for the child’s comfort and safety. Please ensure your child is warmly dressed to embrace wintry conditions.

If a child over 140 cm wishes to sit in a snowmobile as a passenger, a full adult price will be charged. In this case, you need to book the child as an adult!

The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years old and in possession of a driving license valid in Finland. The snowmobile driver is held liable for any damages caused to the vehicle.

Securing a self-liability waiver for your snowmobile before the safari minimizes potential self-liability costs to a maximum of 250€ / person/snowmobile/accident, down from the standard 980€ in case of an accident. This waiver is individualized and applicable for a single snowmobile safari.

If you prefer to drive a snowmobile solo, please purchase the single-driving supplement in addition to the "adult on a shared snowmobile" price.

Special diet options (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) are available upon request.
