Booked the snowmobile scenic tour, pick up included. Pick up was punctual and straight into kitting out. All the overalls, boots, gloves, balaclava and helmet was provided and all in good clean condition. Brief was of good quality and off we went. Had a great ride out, the tour guide was brilliant, ensuring we were all safe and had no issues regularly. Nice ride out across mostly flattish tracks and a stop for some hot drinks. Really nice trip out showing how beautiful the country is away from the tourist traps. Highly recommended.
Excellent experience
My wife and I booked many tours (each day we did one or two tours) and all of them are well organized and with very nice guides (Silja, Gabriel and Ralph who we met are all very lovely and professional guides).
We can strongly recommend this agency.
Excellent all round the equipment and staff were great and looked after the people who were struggling but ensured everyone else’s experience was not diminished.
My friends and i were very excited to go for this snowmobile safari. I have participated several times on snowmobile safari but this was my worst experience. We were about 15 snowmobiles with one guide in front and the other one was the last one. The weather was nice and sunny with -30 degrees. There were spots were we could have taken some beautiful photos but unfortunately, we couldn't as our guides didn't stop, we were just driving. Driving too fast and ended up loosing one of our friend. Given that there was too much distance between the snowmobiles and our guides, they didn't even notice that one of us was missing. We found her more than one hour later.
We took the break in the middle of the lake, we got some hot Mustikka juice and Gifflar cakes (which you can buy in IKEA stores by the way :)).Last time when i did the snowmobile safari we took the break next to a KOTA where we grilled saucisses and drank coffee and tea ( Finnish tradition ! ). Why changed it ! You should have kept our finnish tradition!.
The snowmobile experience was the biggest highlight of our holiday. It was so much fun. We are a family of 4 (children 7 & 9 years) and we went on the evening one in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights.
The group was small, just 4 snowmobiles plus the brilliant guide, Jonny who towed a sledge for the children to sit in.
It was about 45 mins to the spot where the Northern Lights can be seen, unfortunately we went on a cloudy day so didn’t see them. Jonny took us into a wooden hut where we drank warm juice, sweet treats by a fire before returning back.
Highly recommend and much cheaper booking directly than doing the experience through a package holiday!
Thanks Jonny and Ruka adventures!
We had great experience on the snowmobiles tour. There was just our family and one other person on the snowmobiles in freezing -24°C but we enjoyed the trip a lot! Also our 6 years old son had a lot of fun. We made couple of stops during the trip where we could play in the snow and the guide offered us hot glőgg (hot berry juice) and some sweet cookies. If you are a good driver, you listen to the guide's instructions carefully, than you should have no worries and go ahead for this exciting trip :-)
