Absolutely fantastic - Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A really fun couple of hours. The pick up in the centre of Rovaniemi is easy to find and pick up was on time. Getting kitted out was hassle free, toilets on site and a drink and a cookie available if wanted. My husband and 17 year old daughter rode together and I rode as passenger with Marcos, our guide as i didnt want to drive. This activity was such good value for money....we were out for an hour and 40 minutes and for us it was the perfect length of time. We stopped for photos and to swap drivers and rode over a lake. On the return we picked up speed which was so much fun. We were in a small group of 5 snowmobiles and all adults. Marcos gave clear instructions at the start and was a great guide....even checking that I, as his passenger, was ok when we picked up speed and it was bumpy. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants their first try at snowmobiling......a really great couple of hours. Thanks to Marcos and the whole team.

Go Go Snow Mobile! - We were unsuccessful securing a booking with our tour guides company so looked online and found Wild Nordic who appeared to offer a similar itinerary / price and had availability at the date / times we wanted. Markus, or guide picked us up in the town centre and drove us to their business site (opp. Santa Village) on the outskirts of Rovaniemi. He was friendly and happy to answer questions on the drive, Markus moved to Finland from Estonia 10years ago and spoke very positively about his love of the industry, in particular snow mobiles. We were kitted up with warm socks, balaclava, gloves and dry suit (which turns out aren’t insulated and not terribly warm so ignore the locals when they tell you it isn’t “that cold” today and keep that extra jumper on! lol) We were one of 3 groups heading out at the same time, and our group had 8 people initially, until the young couple spoke with reception and were moved out of the “oldies” group and joined the younger group of 20-somethings of which there would have been approx. 12-16 ppl. I caught on, and informed Markus I did not want the pensioner experience and I hoped he didn’t think we were too old to get out on the snow and have some fun! He cajoled us before we set off for what was over 2 hours / 50km of snowy cold fun! The snow mobiles are speed limited, and wouldn’t exceed 40km no matter how hard I tried. This was news to Markus as he believed they would not exceed 35km with 2 people on board - my passenger mustn’t have weighed much lol My partner and I were super lucky as 2 people in our group did not want to drive, preferring to be photo taking passengers in the back which suited us both just fine - meant we didn’t have to take turns! The youngens, who left after our group at the beginning , were already back and removing their outer layers when we got to the end of our adventure… seems we got a bit of VIP treatment being such a small group which was a bonus! Markus was very kind in dropping us off at hour hotel on the way back - even gave some tips for what to do and see when we visited his homeland Estonia later that week. Had a blast (icy blast… but a blast all the same!)

Great snowmobile ride - Beautiful experience, we took a short excursion with children. The children went in a special cabin pulled by the guide and my wife and I used a snowmobile. Before leaving, all the rules were explained to us and then we left. The ride was spectacular! We drove in the Finnish steppe. Next time I'll do a 3 day hike.

Amazing Experience- Special Thanks Isabella and Michael - Myself and four friends had an absolutely fantastic time snowmobiling with Wild Nordic. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. I want to extend special thanks to Isabella, a delightful Brazilian who provided invaluable advice about Rovaniemi. Despite finding other tour providers offering lower prices, we opted for Wild Nordic because of Isabella's exceptional attentiveness. Our guide, Michael, was also outstanding. In fact, my friends are already planning another trip with them later this week. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to the wonderful team at Wild Nordic.

Best snowmobiling trip! - We had the best experience with this tour company! Our tour guide was lovely and the scenery was absolutely beautiful! We had been put on our own trip due to the other trip being full so actually had a private trip. Would really recommend to anyone who is looking for a snowmobiling trip as they have small group numbers and lovely staff. Many thanks to our fabulous tour guide Ruben for giving us such a great morning!

Ticks the snowmobile ride box - This ride was busy, with lots of people out to do the same thing. You do get to see some beautiful scenery and the clothing provided kept us warm.
