No Lights but an amazing family adventure! - To start we did not see the Northern Lights but that did not matter this trip was still great and our guide, Yngve, made the trip even better! Yngve took us on a snow mobile ride through the forest. I have two small kids and he made the experience so memorable for them. He drove past trees and made the snow fall into the snow mobile (which they loved!!) we had a campfire and roasted cinnamon buns and Yngve played with and joked with my kids the whole time it was a fantastic experience and we forgot about the disappointment of not seeing the Northern lights. We organised a number of tours in Rovaneimi with Wild Nordic. I was impressed by their professionalism and the range of activities offered on the tours. Most of all their guides and fun and made our trip to Rovanemi even more special I cannot speak more highly of this company and their tour guides!

Fun Fun Fun - Absolutely fun! It was very long and at times scary because there would be people that drive really slowly and we would lose sight of the guide and would be trying to keep up constantly. Easy access to the place, bear in mind you have to cross the road) its right next to the gas station. Friendly staff, easy instructions, snowmobiles are fun and easy to drive. Stopped in the middle of nowhere for chocolate and sausages, quite an experience. Didnt see the lights but had loads of fun. They provide the equipment, so dont worry too much. Only thing, I would drive all customers to their hotels, not just the ones in Rovaniemi. We were located up Santas Village and had to walk to it in the dark and on the road. Also kids and people who desire not too rides the bikes go in the front with the guide all nicely covered with a blanket.

See the lights - An awesome experience whilst in Rovenimi, definitely jump on a snow mobile time if you can. Wild Nordic from start to finish were very easy to deal with, from resending the booking confirmation for me to the pick up, tour and drop off process. Everything was seamless and easy to follow. We had awesome guides (Bruno and Roy), who were great with both their interactions but also the knowledge they shared. We didn't see the lights, but that's okay as there was plenty more to experience. I would say, if you don't want to sit behind slower people pick the snowmobile behind the guides, we got stuck behind some slower drivers and it did make it slightly less enjoyable.

Tourist trap excursion! 32 people 16 snow bikes. No one warns you. Everyone in line at 30km/h. - Tourist trap excursion! 32 people and 16 snowmobiles. No charm, everyone in line at 30km/h. No sensation. It is nowhere indicated that there are so many people. 50 min motorbike ride. Sausage picnic for 5 euros. Being 32 in a cabin is not charming. No explanation about the Northern Lights. No breaks to take photos. Too expensive for the service.

Disappointed - This tour is not in Helsinki. We booked this under the impression it was. I was asked 5 days before we travelled to update our Hotel pick up. I emailed my response with our address in Helsinki. At no point we’re we told that this tour is 700 kilometres (approx) from where we were staying. This is not the only tour offered in Helsinki that is NOT actually anywhere near Helsinki.
