Pyha Safaris is an activity operator based in Pyhätunturi, Lappi, offering guided outdoor experiences across the Pyhä‑Luosto area and nearby lakes. The company runs a range of seasonal tours including northern lights hunting by car, multiple snowmobile safaris, ice fishing and combined snowmobile + ice fishing options, e‑fatbike and electric mountain bike rentals, ice karting, canoeing, and boat fishing trips on Lake Pyhäjärvi, Lake Kemijärvi and the Kemijoki river.
Guides provide local knowledge of Pyhätunturi and Pyhä‑Luosto National Park routes, safety briefings, and the necessary equipment for each activity. Specialized gear appears in the offerings, such as Tunturi eMax EB‑F600 e‑fatbikes and purpose‑built fishing boats equipped for techniques like jigging and sonar‑assisted pike fishing.
