“An all day snowmobile tour of beautiful nature. Our guide was Patrick and we had a great time. Pick ups & drop off are well organized and they provide all the necessary gears. In addition to an organized drive through the forest etc. we were given two occasions to "freestyle" on a large open space! Also you can switch drivers in the middle. We had reindeer stew as lunch and it was delicious! Nice break to rest a bit and warm up before completing rest of the journey. It was one of our favorite experiences in our trip to Rovaniemi!”

3.Full-Day Snow and Fun Activities

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 38 reviews · from $221

Pack huskies, reindeer, skiing, sledding, lunch, and kids’ snowmobiles into a family day at Apukka Resort near Rovaniemi.

“Our family of four really enjoyed this activity - lots of different things to try, including snow mobiles for the kids, skiing, slide and the husky ride (which lasted about 3-4 mins) was just enough time. We loved petting the dogs afterwards, and meeting and feeding the reindeers. There’s a hut where you can warm up with some biscuits and warm juice. The buffet lunch afterwards was also very good - lots to choose from and tasty. It’s not cheap, but a great place to try lots of different activities - especially if, like us, your trip is a short one. The surroundings of the Apukka resort is also gorgeous…”

Het is 2uur rijden, 2uur pauze bij een kota met toilet en met een kampvuur (met een overheerlijke rendiersoep, waarna je savonds bijna geen diner meer nodig hebt) en dan nog 2uur terugrijden.”

See polar bears at Ranua Zoo, then sauna, swim in an Arctic lake, and eat fire-cooked salmon on this full-day Lapland tour.

We had a big buffet lunch with many options and we spend the evening relaxing in an authentic sauna and eating a smoked salmon and veggies for dinner. 100% percent recommended. It you think of coming I suggest to bring an extra towel as the ones used to dip into the lake might get really wet and an hairdryer for the ladies as it was not present.”

“Safartica is an extremely professional company with excellent equipment and the most incredible guides. For this tour, they provide everything from overalls to boots including socks, and balaclava. You just need to show up and they take care of you. We were a group of 11 and had 2 guides Alessandro and Valentina. Both were very knowledgeable, caring and friendly. I want to especially thank Alessandro - my wife was a solo driver and for some reason her snowmobile wasn't going as fast as others even with full throttle. But he was so sweet that he stayed back with her, didn't rush her at all and made sure to keep…”
