Snowmobile Day in Lapland - We had Aaron as our guide. He is very helpful with our equipment. He was friendly and professional. He explained well with the safety briefing. He took photos of us during the tour. Overall, it was a fun day seeing the forest of Lapland on a snow mobile even on a super cold day. It was -29 Celsius at the start of the tour and the snow suit they provided kept us warm. I highly recommend this company because all of the equipment are in excellent condition.

I recommend this activity! - Activity to do! The activity lasts one hour which is completely enough to enjoy without being too cold! The frame is perfect (close to clothing if needed, close to helmet, close to hood so as not to be cold,...) The monitors are very friendly and kind.
The view is there, it is really beautiful if you do it early in the morning!
In short, I recommend 100%

Great experience with great staff to make it enjoyable. - Well organised. We went directly to the starting meeting point and checked in. We where offered snow gear, but didnt need any as we used our own. A longish ( 10 mins )walk from base to collect the snowmobiles. (Apparently they have had to move as new car park has taken the area from where the starting was) Jack our guide was fab and helpful. Ride was great fun and heated hand grips helped with the cold. Our 7 YO son was in the sliege behind guide and followed by all of the group of parents and non parents.
Plenty time to change driver midway plus photos. Once back.... back to base and our son when on to have his go on a snowmobile. A wait that could be shorter; if a child that had had the longer experience with parents, should have a priority from those that are just riding the kids snowmobile. That said, he enjoyed it so much, we went back the following morning and qu'ed up as everyone else. Great fun and enjoyment for big and small.

Fun ride through the forest! - A lot of fun! You get briefed so the ride is safe. They provide helmets. There is a break in between so you can switch drivers if you want to.. 1 hour was just enough for us to try it out.

Beautiful surroundings, fantastic tour. - A truly incredible experience to drive snowmobiles through the snowy forest. The scenery was amazing. The guided was great at going at a nice pace so it was fast enough but not too fast. Guide was also great at keeping the group together. It was a small group (4 snowmobiles total) which I appreciated.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the area where you get the rental clothing is very crowded and a bit compact. Also, we had a rental car so would have loved to meet directly on site, but instead we had to meet at Santa Claus Village and then take a shuttle to a different location for the warm clothes. Would have loved to just meet at the second location.
The young kids are pulled in a sled behind the guide and their sled is not covered (some companies do do have it covered). Pro of it being covered is the kids will be warmer. Con of it being covered is that they wouldn’t see as much.
Would highly recommend!

Avoid - totally disappointed/waste of money - I was extremely disappointed with this activity, it was totally disorganised from start to finish. The website says this will last approximately 1.5hours but our experience took around 3.5hours, which was a disgrace. We had two small children with us and we purposely picked an activity which would not take more than a couple of hours. We spent most of this time waiting.
The male staff at your facility were very rude, one man was shouting at a colleague in front of everyone and pushed passed my daughter almost knocking her off her feet at one point - she is only 5.
There was one group trying to leave, one group coming back, everyone pushing past everyone else, no one knew what to do, where to go, it was chaos. I have never experienced such a shambles. We paid good money to do this trip and left totally tired out and disappointed. There was a total disregard for customer service and I feel all you are interested in was getting as much people and money in as possible with no effort with the customers.
