About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Susan K0 contributionsArtic Ice Floating a fabulous activityAntoine our very friendly, knowledgeable guide picked us up and took us to the location of the frozen lake. It was surrounded by snow covered trees and it was a truly beautiful, peaceful and relaxing spot. On location there was another guide. They both helped us put on the suits and gave us clear instructions on how to get the most out of the experience, and took photos of us on our phone. Afterwards we were given a warm drink and snack by a hot fire. It was a magnificent experience with a wonderful guide. Thank you Antoine.Written 23 March 2024
- bhbhbhb770 contributionsExtremely cool🤩We did the 3h snowmobile tour in Levi at the afternoon and it was perfect. We were just the two of us with Guide Antonin who was really professional and an awesome guy. The adventure, the speed and the beautiful landscape made the tour perfect for us. Thanks a lot!Written 2 March 2023
- Curious115029568460 contributionsAmazing snowmobile safari in LeviWe had a nice snowmobile safari! Antoine and Antonin were amazing guides! Very friendly and professionals. They show us nice tracks and we saw amazing landscape. After the safari, they took us to a kota and cooked tasty food. We didnt see the norther lights, but we saw a rainbow. I would definitely go again!Written 2 March 2023
- florent20230 contributionsGreat snowscooter experienceWe went on the snow-scooter trip and it was amazing! Our tour guide (Antonin and Gert) informed us well and safety was the priority. Everyone had its own motorcycle and we had an beautiful cloudless sky, with an amazing sun-rise. The tour guides kept eye on every single persons level. We were in a fast group, so we traveled a bigger distance! RecommendedWritten 24 January 2023
- B2823DPcraigw0 contributionsAmazingSnowmobiling and ice fishing was fantastic. The guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for them (I believe they were from France and Belgium). The hot stew halfway through the trip was perfect in the cold temperatures, we were even given the key that freed the snowmobiles from the restrictions so we were able to experience full throttle across the lake (within speed limits of course). Highly recommend and will be booking again with them in Decemeber 2023Written 30 December 2022
- HollisLiang0 contributionsHighly recommended snowmobile tour with ice fishing and traditional camp lunchVery interesting and exciting tour! The tour guide Antonin is super nice and friendly, patient with teaching us how to drive the snowmobile and all safety tips. We first drove about 1 hour to an iced lake for ice fishing, but unfortunately no one from our group had good luck today. Then we drove to a Sami camp and made campfire there. Antonin prepared hot drinks and made reindeer soups for us. After that lunch we drove another half hour back to the parking lot.Written 21 December 2022
- C2477QEkarines0 contributionsWhy? Because it’s a unique experience!We went ice-floating and had a very special experience. Floating in the Pitkäjärvi lake, by night, gazing at the stars, at a fairytale location. Afterwards we had coffee at the ancient Finnish-Russian cottage. And nice conversation. Thanks to our guide Gert, bedankt!Written 26 February 2022
- VincentC32160 contributionsExcellent snowshoe walk / Super balade en raquettesWe had a snowshoe walk with Jert. It was perfect, amazing view, we learned a lot thanks to all the knowledge of our guide Jert about the nature, trees, animals, plants... Jert also gave us some good advices to see auroras/northern lights during our stay in Levi.Written 26 January 2022
- Bill-Lyn0 contributionsE-Sled Snowmobile, Levi, FinlandE-sleds! The only way to go. Jonna, our guide, the best. Provided expert instructions and professional care to our entire family of eight; teens to seniors. Highly recommended this snowmobiling experience to first-timers and experts. The trails around Levi are well maintained, yet wild enough to give you a true sense of the outdoors. Thanks, from all of us.Written 14 January 2022
- markuse6790 contributionsGreat and friendly experienceVery nice guy (Gert from Belgium) gave us a lot of information on nature and domestic animals. The selected route was also very nice, could be done with a normal fitness level.Written 13 January 2022
- Dazzler750 contributionsFantastic Snowmobile trip!We hadn't used Safartica before, but we definitely will in the future! My daughter is finally able to drive her own snowmobile, and this was her first time. So it was perfect that it was only us in the group. Maxime, our guide, was superb. He was very calm and patient and made my daughter feel at ease. We had a great stop half way round and Maxime showed us how to build a fire and watched as we destroyed two sausages by burning them in the fire (not quite what we intended to do!) He grilled some more for us :-) Overall, a brilliant activity, and i can't recommend these guys highly enough. We will be back to see you again next time we are in Levi. Thank you Maxime, it was great to share that adventure with you. Merci Beaucoup :-) Darren & MollyWritten 7 January 2022

An incredible experience.
The only dissatisfaction: unfortunately some of us were not on time, so we were delayed until we started. The organizers had clearly specified the meeting point and time.
As it was not clear at first whether there would be any northern lights to see, the bus drove us north for about 35 minutes. There, photos were taken of the approximately 30 participants. There was plenty of time for taking photos ourselves, while all participants took artistic photos with different artificial lights.
We then went to a lake. There we were amazed: a starry sky and northern lights in all directions.
Time again for artistic photos and our own photos.
Some of the participants seemed to be queuing for quite a long time for the artistic photos.
But there was plenty of time for our own photos.
On the way back, there was warm red juice and a biscuit.
It was a bit hectic to take our own photos. Many participants shone their lights around with their cell phones. It got better over time.
The lake was perfect, plenty of space for all wishes. The entrance was very hidden, I would never have found it on my own.
Antoine and his colleague (red hair) were very friendly, on the way there we were given information about how the northern lights are formed and little stories about cultural history.
The bus was on time on the way back. At midnight I was also very tired.
The breaks on the bus were good for warming up and changing batteries.
I would do this tour again and not only have myself photographed in front of the northern lights but also try a photo with the lightsabers. This time my priorities were different,
Warm clothing is available from the provider if required, the photos are made available for download on the website very quickly.

Although we were unfortunately not able to see the Northern Lights on our tour, we still had a great event. Our guide "Antony" from France, who works for Safartica (event agency in Levi), still gave us all a lovely late evening and explained to us which camera settings you can use to take great photos in low light. Instead of being able to photograph the Northern Lights (nobody can do anything about that), pictures were taken using tools (mainly a "laser sword").
Antony was funny and accommodating, so we give him 5/5 points. This tour can be recommended, but next time I would book at short notice based on the weather forecast and northern lights forecast for Levi.

Had a great time with this tour company and the Electric snowmobile activity. Unlike petrol powered snowmobiles, the E-snowmobiles produced no fumes which makes the ride much more enjoyable. And last but not least, our guide Antonin was very friendly, informative, and it was pleasure to have him as our guide.

4-hour tour from 20:00-24:00: In the middle of the ride around 22:00, our tour guide, which was also the driver at that time, fell asleep and drove the car straight to the opposite side of the road. Luckily no cars driving nearby at the time that happened. The car just got stuck in the snow. All passengers including the tour guide (7 people) spent 1 hour outside in -20 degree Celsius, trying to shovel the snow from the wheels and push the car but no help. We ended up getting a taxi back to Levi downtown after 23:00. So, to summarise, my friend and I spent almost 200€, not just that we didn’t get to see any Northern Light, we both were horrified from the accident, caught a cold and ruined the whole weekend with so many other plans scheduled.

Our guides were very bubbly, kind and accommodating! The tour itself was only OK, for the steep cost wish we'd been given the option to go another night when no cloud cover/snow. Ultimately didn't feel driving for 4 hours knowing there would be nothing to see was worth our limited time or price. Appreciate the efforts though!

There were only 5 of us who set out to hunt for the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any Northern Lights at the first two stops. However, our guide Meri took lots of beautiful landscape photos of the participants, so we were at least able to take some great shots with us. After a while at the third stop, where we grilled sausages in the snow and drank tea, we could actually see the Northern Lights in the cameras. They weren't visible to the naked eye. We were already happy, and when the Northern Lights were visible to everyone, the joy and excitement was even greater.
Meri was trying the whole time to find a top location for the natural spectacle and kept us entertained.
Thank you Meri!

Antoine was an AMAZING guide! We lucked out and the Northern lights were spectacular for our snowmobile ride. He took us out of Levi to escape the light pollution and to a beautiful open area to see from horizon to horizon all the magic of the North. He made us a fire in a Kota and we roasted some marshmallows while he explained the science of the Aurora. He took some amazing pics of us and was so wonderful. Would give 6 stars if possible. Can’t recommend enough if you’re chasing the lights this is the best way to see them!!

Antonin was a great guide, showing us a lot of the lapland forest. He also, with his experience, guided us to scan through the sky to track the northern lights and helped us to take great photos in the dark. Amazing experience. Thanks

Activity with little interest without the presence of the Northern Lights due to bad weather. No luck this time

It is very true that you need some luck and patience to catch the aurora, and not every evening is successful in that regard. I hope you still had fun with us and were able to see the northern lights during your stay in Lapland!
Thank you for the review and for visiting us!
