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.

Recently I had the opportunity to join a snowmobile tour and I am still excited about this unique experience! Those who love nature, speed and adventure will get their money's worth here.
Organization and Service
Booking the tour was uncomplicated, and even before the ride the team convinced with professional preparation. The safety instruction was clear and understandable, and the guides were friendly, patient and took time for all participants – whether beginners or advanced. We were equipped with high-quality equipment, including warm overalls, helmets and gloves. Even in freezing temperatures, I felt well protected.
The tour itself
Our route took us through snowy forests, over frozen lakes and through breathtaking winter landscapes, like a fairy tale book. The feeling of gliding through the snow on a snowmobile is simply incomparable. It combines the adrenaline of speed with the tranquillity and beauty of nature. Along the way we stopped at particularly impressive viewpoints where we could take photos and enjoy the silence of the wintry surroundings.
The guides were not only experts in handling the snowmobiles, but also great storytellers. They explained interesting details about the region, the wildlife and the history of the area.
Highlights
A personal highlight for me was the stop at a small cabin in the middle of the forest where we could enjoy hot tea and local delicacies.
Conclusion
The snowmobile tour was an experience I would recommend to anyone. Whether you are looking for an adrenaline rush or simply want to experience the winter nature in all its glory, this tour has something for everyone. The perfect combination of adventure and relaxation! I will definitely come back.

We purchased the package for our marriage anniversary. We came here for the first time in September which was not a bad choice, not crowded and not cold in the off season. We fortunately did see Aurora every night. The activity qualities were unfortunately mixed bag, but fine overall with the great scenery.
Aurora information session and visit to Sami museum Siida were quite informative and great for the first visitors.
Hike with the Huskies and Northern light search on Lake Inari were unique experiences, with great guides.
Autumn Outdoors and Aurora Camp Autumn were average and can be fine tuned, considering the great nature here. I personally preferred to go in quieter places for Aurora camp where huskies do not bark.
Recommend to go in sauna and cool down in Lake Inari. Fishing tour can be interesting.

We had a wonderful stay in Inari and this is partly thanks to the different excursions we booked in this agency (aurora hunting by car, crosscountry skiing, Sami historical sites snowmobile safari). During the week, we were able to discover beautiful landscapes (favorite for safari) and admire our first aurora borealis thanks to our guide (and it was not won with the weather!). But beyond the activities, we were able to sympathize with our guides, chatting over a fire or hot drinks, who showed great kindness. A human experience we will not forget!

Visit Inari Safari carried out all the activities we had planned. All guides and the people in the office are nice, friendly and very helpful. They give a lot of interesting information and are humorous and well organized.
We were also lucky with weather and Aurora.
The only downside was that four activities were planned in one day, so we hardly came to eat and therefore had to skip the Aurora Info to feed us. We had no activity for that on other days.
Otherwise everything was wonderful and we can recommend Visit Inari Safari. Thanks to all staff and guides!

To begin with, let me just say that the experience itself was a lot of fun. Dogs taking you at speed through a picturesque winter landscape is nothing if not spectacular. The guides were good and have all the necessary instructions.
Into the cons now. To begin with, out of the 5 sleds there, meaning 30 dogs, maybe 1-2 were huskies mixes at best. One of the guides did mention that several huskies were in heat and so they couldn't run. As fair as an explanation that is, you should probably disclose that while tickets are being booked because people are booking a "husky ride". Also, how many of your huskies go into heat that you don't have a single one in 30? One thing no one mentions is that the dogs poop while running. Absolutely natural, nothing to be alarmed of. Only problem is that if you are the one sitting in front, you will get a nice whiff every few kms, probably twice or thrice throughout your trip.
Finally, is it worth 180/person? I can't say for sure because we didn't have huskies. Chances of you getting all, if at all any, is quite low, I'd think. Probably not worth the money. The only thing that allayed my price concern was that part of the money would also go to the upkeep of the dogs, which I am more than happy about

I will never forget my trip to Inari last March.
Even though it was cloudy in the city, Aurora Hunting by Car’s tour guide PEKKA tried his best to find a clear sky. The few minutes we saw the aurora dancing in the sky were really exciting! The friendly tour guide also taught us how to take photos with the aurora, so professional.
The Ice Fishing itinerary is also a very interesting experience. Although riding a snowmobile is freezing, the travel agency’s package itinerary allows you to use a warm jumpsuit, thick gloves, and snow boots. If you wear them fully underneath, you won’t feel so cold. ! Ice fishing is not as easy as it looks. I didn’t catch any fish that day, but the salmon soup and biscuits and berry tea in the cozy hut afterwards warmed my stomach and heart. It was so good!
Thank you to the tour guide and staff of Visit Inari for giving me a wonderful memory. I will definitely come back!

In Inari we decided to choose an excursion that would start at 1.30pm. We arrived at 1.45pm, as we already had technical clothes and we would not have had to dress in the overalls given by them.
in the office there was only a girl at the reception who told us 'the tour has already started, the money (178 euros each) will not be refunded'. So we ask for the kind courtesy of being able to make another excursion by compensating with the other one and they tell us that we would have to repay.
In any case, the other tours all left 30/40 minutes late compared to the departure time as you had to wait for everyone to wear the overalls, gloves and helmets provided by them. So we assumed that our excursion never actually started and we were the only participants.
BAD EXPERIENCE, if you find yourself in Inari change agency, this is absolutely dishonesty!

We booked a 3h husky tour at Visit Inari and we were completely disapponted. It is all about money. There were 19 people and 10 sleighs. We stopped all the time and no driving was possible. In total we „drove“ 10km. We cannot recommend to book here. The business is a mass business with over 100 dogs. Just look for a real family owned business.

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!

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!
