Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had an excellent Aurora camp by snowmobile. The guide was professional and helpful, knowing a lot about local nature and culture. The reindeer burger with rye bread was tasty and we had the luck to see also Northern lights. Reccomend strongly!

As I was in Inari for a few days I booked a range of activities with Visit Inari: snowmobile safari, aurora hunting by car, husky sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
Overall I'd have no hesitation in recommending the company and their tours. The guides were all fantastic, friendly and professional and incredibly patient with the large number of customers with limited English. They were also accommodating of me being solo and making every group an odd number! They provide plenty of warm gear.
The snowmobile 'safari' was lots of fun; we did have a longish pause at one point after a couple of snowmobiles got stuck in slushy ice, but they were able to free the vehicles and we finished the tour as planned. Aurora hunting happened on a cloudy night and we had a long drive but did manage to see some. I really enjoyed the husky sledding; they have a large facility with a lot of dogs but the dogs seemed happy and well-cared for and certainly keen to get out and tow along tourists. As a solo traveller they gave me a small team of four dogs whereas all the couples had six (although this did mean I drove the whole time and didn't get to sit and watch the scenery).
Snowshoeing was great, easy to do and a good way to see a bit of the local scenery. Cross-country skiing took place in Inari's fabulous purpose-built stadium, which has a 5km and 10km loop and is well-lit. With two guides for about 10 of us there was enough supervision to feel safe but enough freedom to go at your own pace.
I did spend quite a lot of money on the tours but I didn't feel that any was massively overpriced. Equipment was good (the skiing stuff in particular looked very new) and I didn't come away from any of the activities wishing I hadn't done it. They helped make my stay lots of fun.

We like this 2 hrs snowmobile activity. Though my son only ride in the sleigh (he is only 5 years old) for safety reason. I n my husband took turns to ride the snowmobile, very exiting to drive it on the frozen lake in winter ! Beautiful scenery around , the rest station also very cute n warm!

We relied on Visit Inari for the Kirkenes - Ivalo transfer, for the husky sled excursion and for the one in search of the northern lights by snowmobile through the frozen lake and the forest.
Their professionalism and organization are highly appreciated, they always answer both the phone and the emails, they provide adequate information and thermal equipment supplied before starting each excursion.
Guides prepared, nice and attentive.
Also enjoyed tea and biscuits at the end of the experience with huskies, cider and barbecu under the stars and the northern lights after the snowmobile excursion (minus 20 degrees!)!
we had a lot of fun, feeling safe.
very very recommended!

I rented some equipment for a number of days and booked a lesson in XC Skiing. The staff were friendly and helpful. They were genuinely interested in my plans, asked all the right (safety) questions and helped me along.

I booked a 3 night package through Visit Inari Safaris & Accommodation staying in the new Aurora Cabins at the Holiday Village. This package included half board, visit to a Husky Farm, night forest walk, day forest walk, ticket to the Siida Musuem and Aurora hunting (was supposed to be by boat, but was changed to car).
I was so impressed with the commitment of the staff at the Hotel Inari from reception to the chef(s) and guides. The experience is one I will never forget. The Aurora Cabin facing the lake is cosy, warm, has a magnificent outlook and everything I needed. The only down side was the walk to and from the hotel for breakfast and dinner. It certainly seemed more than the 400m mentioned. However, I planned these meals around the time of excursions so I only walked one way and the guide dropped me back at my cabin after. If you had a car, it would not be an issue. I was travelling alone so having said that, I at no time felt unsafe, even walking in the dark.
The forest walk at night was broken half way with a fire lit, hot chocolate or tea and a pork sausage - a tradition when hiking I’m told. It was a wonderful surreal experience with light snow falling occasionally. The 3 hour morning hike through another part of the forest was again amazing. I was concerned the 8km distance would be too much for me, but our guide assured me we had all the time in the world and he stopped now and again for me to catch up. I’m not sure if he changed it to a shorter walk to accommodate me, but it was long enough! There was one other lady on the walk. We again broke mid-way to have a hot drink and a roll and biscuits to eat. Wildlife was scarce - we saw a squirrel!
Our guide drove from 8pm till Midnight trying to locate the Northern Lights. We drove north to the Norway border, but unfortunately it was too cloudy a night and the night sky was clouded for my whole stay otherwise lying on my bed looking up at the sky through huge windows would have been a memorable site.....next time!
The evening meal at Hotel Inari was 3 course and scrumptious. Each night the courses were different and when offered a reindeer dish one night, the chef was happy to change it to salmon when I mentioned my squeamishness to having it. Thank you Maagritte for showing me what I was missing in fine dining and what I will miss when I go home.

We were picked up on time from Wilderness Inari & brought to to their office which was just down the road from our hotel.That was the only positive in the next few hours.From the unsmiling lady who took our money as if She was doing us a favour to the unsmiling guide who ushered us downstairs for kitting up there was no one there who had a friendly smile. The guide( unfortunately can't remember his name) behaved as if everything was an effort for him....he gave me a much too large suit & boots which i could barely walk in when we went out to the snowmobiles. He just gave out instructions without any genuine interest & absolutely no information about the area & what we were going to see etc even though we were a fairly small group of 5 snowmobiles. Midway through we stopped for a short break for juice. I tried to ask him some qs but he wasn't responsive at all. He didn't offer to take pictures for anyone in the group....that's something all guides do. Despite it being a bright sunny beautiful cold day the tour was an ordeal. When we finished there was no laughter or any exchange with the guide....seriously he didn't smile once. It just seemed to be a job he had to get through but for us it was a lifetime experience which was ruined.We travel quite a bit & have never come across such a unfriendly outfit. Thankfully the other tour operaters we booked with like Husky &Co, Northern Lights Riders were fantastic.
