Beautiful and adventurous safari over the beautiful Inari lake - It was a beautiful drive across Lake Inari. It was a wonderful experience. We went with our children aged 16 and 18 who also thought it was very cool. Lunch was tasty and fun in a tippi and beautiful stories were told by the guide.

Great experience with this tour company! Highly recommend - We had a great time with Ivalo Safaris. The booking went very easy. Communication with the company was very good. The tourguide was very nice and helpfull, he knew a lot. We were in a small group with 2 other couples, which was very nice. We got nice warm clothes and boots, which was really needed on the lake because it was very windy today. We also booked ice fishing, which was a very nice addition. Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish, but it was a very nice experience. We even saw a wild reindeer on the lake. The lunch was great; we had reindeer soup with bread, sausages and a very delicious blueberry pie. I would highly recommend this tour with Ivalo Safaris. We had a great day. Thank you for this experience.

A wonderful snowmobile tour , and great value for money !! - This is the most fantastic snowmobile tour I've ever done !!! .
Booking was easy , and the price for the tour was amazingly good value .
Tina gave us a super friendly welcome at their office , then helped us get the right warm clothes and boots . Her husband did the tour which went out by Lake Inari , temp was minus 20 but we were all so snug . He stopped a few times to spot reindeer and just enjoy the silence and stupendous views and tell local stories . We spent a long time snowmobiling , which was fantastic.
We then went to where they live put on the island where Tina had prepared sausages , hot blackberry juice and a reindeer stew for lunch which were all DELICIOUS ! We sat by the fire in their huge tent and heated up before the short trip back .
It was one of the best days I've ever had on holiday . If you're doing a tour , book with Ivali Safaris !!

To do absolutely! A pleasure! - The magic of Christmas! Doing this snowmobile tour was a real joy! Starting with Max to dress warmly over our outfits. The loaned equipment is essential to keep the wind out of the snowmobile. Then after his instructions we left. A breathtaking landscape, you take full eyes. A stop with the Rennes and a well-cooked meal with our guide Max and this tour becomes idyllic! A big thank you to Max. This snowmobile trip will be unforgettable:-)
Organisation top!!!!

The best day of our whole Finland trip! - Cannot recommend this trip highly enough. We travelled all over Finland, from Helsinki to Inari and this was both mine and my partners favourite day! The most incredible and authentic. Driving the snowmobiles across the frozen lake was a once in a lifetime opportunity, the scenery is breathtaking and with not a sole around, it really felt like you were in another world. The snowmobiles were great fun and the thermal clothes kept us super warm. Tina and her husband (who guided us on the snowmobiles) were so kind and welcoming. We stopped on the island where they live for lunch inside a gorgeous cosy tipi. The food was honestly amazing, homemade reindeer soup was the best Finnish food we tasted during our whole trip. They gave us so much information and told stories about the local area and their life there. If you are looking for a real once in a lifetime Finnish experience- this is it! 1000000/10. Thank you so much for accommodating us and sharing your way of life, it really was a fantastic day!

Good but simple - Very welcome, MIKO is adorable. The beautiful scenery, the sunrise over the lake is superb The only regret, the course is monotonous, we do not go to the trees at all. There are only three reindeer, it’s a bit simple.
