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.

After getting our first taste of snowmobiling during a safari the day before, we went to Polar Creek to rent a machine to go out by ourselves. The snowmobile was state of the art and Maria was very accommodating. Being out in the wilderness on your own, being able to stop whenever you want and drive wherever you want (as long as you keep yoo the tracks of course) is really incredible and beats joining a tour and queuing behind a guide by a mile

Because we were with a big group, I've made the reservation in advance. Maria helpt me excellent with the excursions. We had some special wishes and that was no problem. We made several excursions. We went on a Husky tour. Because this wasn't our first time to lapland we already been on 2 husky tours. This one was one of the best. Andrey, our guide from Polar Creek, is a very kind person. So easy to get along with..
We also book the ice fishing trip. Andrey took us to a lake and provided us with a fishing rod. While we were fishing, he made sausages on an open fire. Also very nice.
We also went on the chasing aurora trip. And YES we saw the northern lights. Andrey took beautiful pictures of our group with the northern lights. So yes I really would recommend this company. it's a small company, what we prefer, and they are very kind.

We had a great snow mobile & ice fishing experience! It was a really nice, small group, and everything was very relaxed.
Even though we booked it last-minute, everything worked out perfectly. Andrey and Maria were very accomodating and helped us out a lot!

The service was excellent, fast and very friendly! We got a kayak for two person and a ride from Andrey, he picked us up at our hotel in Ivalo, dropped us off at the desired location and gave us all the equipment etc. After the kayaking was done, he was there in 5min to pick us up again and drop us off at our hotel! Very friendly and fast service, reliable and totally recommended.

Amazing service and friendly people! Andrey picked us up from airport, rented kayaks, advised great kayaking route, picked up from destination and took us back to Ivalo. Couldn’t wish any better service. Thank you, i will come back!

My husband and I had two snowmobile tours with Andy while we were in Saariselka in January 2020 and we can honestly say that it was one of the highlights of the trip for both of us. Andy was really friendly and easygoing and really took us out on nice routes on the snowmobiles. We got to stop often to take pictures and we had a really nice time. These tours have not been over-commercialized like some of the other tour companies and we found that we much preferred this type of activity.

We took a snowmobile safari for two hours and got more than our money’s worth on that trip! The people in Polar Creek helped us tremendously with all the information needed and were extremely helpful with all aspects of our experience. There were four of us and we had two snowmobiles to ride. Very well organised and excellent worth for our money!
