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.

Amazing trip for all three generations of the family.
Spectacular views throughout the morning trip that we were part of.
Very good tour guide, we were part of a small group of snowmobiles which I felt made the experience more special for us.
We passed other companies which had 4/5 times as many snowmobiles out at the same time in a long train.
Highly recommend

Yllas. Me and my wife went on a nighttime tour (adults only) and was lucky enough to get it just the two of us and the one instructer (can't remember his name.. Curly hair shoulder length very funny guy) we got to travel a total of 36km through snowmobile tracks across lapland and the views are absolutely epic. We stopped off at a teepee like place and our instructer told all sorts of info about the country and lapland fed us barbecue sausages on a fire he made himself and gave us hot drinks before we blasted it back to where we started. It was a once in a lifetime incredible experience and couldn't recommend it enough.

Hi beerandgrub,
Thank your for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear you had a great time on our safari. The night time snowmobile is definitely a nice experience to discover when in Lapland. I'm quite sure I recognize the guide you are referring to and will pass on your kind greetings to him. Best regards from Ylläs!

Wow, what a positive experience. They were looking for an alternative when problems with my knee occur. Very enthusiastic employees, very nice and well organised excursions. The service provided by Lapland safari should be the standard in the tourism industry. I really highly recommend this organisation.

The snowshoe hike with Ritta, our Sami guide was a heartwarming experience and lots of fun. Rita quite obviously loves what she is doing and is a great source of information about animals and local customs. One of the best nature experiences ever, and funny too.

We went for a dinner at the ice Village, which was top notch. Our guide Joan gave us a brilliant tour of the place, and we had a Michelin quality dinner. I was recovering from a back injury, and the staff were very accommodating, moving us into the warm restaurant (which turned out to be a lot more enjoyable than the ice one).

Great experience from the off. Comfortable bus ride to the kennels/ start point. Well explained introduction from delightful guides from all over Europe. We were very lucky with theweather which was perfect but not too warm for the dogs, who were well trained and patient and tolerant of their novice mushers. Lots of photo oppotunities and great fun. Their wasan interesting question and answer session while we had a warm drink afterward, then we met some of the puppies. An excellent trip, not cheap but worth it.

We are thrilled with Lapland Safari.
We had a snowmobile safari today and a great guide.
Francoise gave us a very professional briefing, a great tour and was very attuned to the group.
At the end he gave us tips for tomorrow's tour alone with the snowmobile and dropped us off in front of a restaurant on the way back.
Thank you very much, anytime again.

They let Lapland live by their stories and information.
We recommend it to all.

When you think of Lapland, you think of snowy landcapes caressing the horizon and northern lights emanating from the ground, you picture a christmas-scape with cozy houses and campfire smoke. Well, there's more to that. We spent two days in this winter wonderland with Lapland Safaris and experienced the best this place has to offer: snowmobiles, reindeers, skiing, and ice fishing. The guides Joanne, Arthur, and Francois were very friendly and helpful. The skiing included previously uncharted territories and some incredible facts about the flora and the fauna of the Lapland's forests. Like, did you know that the hairy stuff you see on the pines is lichen, and the bumps on birch trees can be cut and made into a mug! The tours always included a refreshing cup of berry juice, gingerbread cookies, and a warm feeling of coziness by the campfire. Thank you Lapland Safaris! Hope we can come back soon!

We had a blast with the excursions of Lapland Safari. We did a snowscooter tour and the forest skiing. Great views of this beautiful country. Matias is a great guide (and guy) with a good sense of humor and tells you a lot about environment. This guy deserves his chocolates;)
Definitely recommend!

Hi Gill,
Great to know you’re planning a trip to Lapland, you’ll love it! Unfortunately I only went on the one day Snow Mobile rides. I booked the experience with TUI before leaving the UK but on arrival I found it was much cheaper to book locally. You can make enquiries with the reception staff about where to find the service providers.
Hope this helps...have fun at Lapland and stay warm.

We are going in December, taking my 5yr little girl and travelling with thompson, was just wondering if it's cheaper to book the trips there then book through thompson? Wouldn't mind doing the snow village or something?
Anybody have any info? Cheers
Written 16 February 2017
Hi,
I went with monarch and booked one trip through them. I don't think it was any cheaper or dearer but the trip companies around and monarch only offer trips on certain days and times so we had to book with different ones so we could spread our trips out over the holiday and to make sure we did the ones we wanted.
The trips booked direct do get booked up so it's worth booking a couple in advance
