Discover the thrill of snowmobiling on this fun-filled safari at Lake Inari, departing from Ivalo! In addition, you'll also meet and feed the reindeer as well as enjoy a delicious lunch! Welcoming adventurers ages 6 and up.

Located in Northern Finland, Ivalo is situated within the Arctic Circle and is part of the Finnish Lapland region. Renowned for its remote and breathtaking wilderness, it is a popular destination for outdoor adventure enthusiasts, especially during the winter months.

Your adventure begins after being picked up from one of the listed meeting points in Ivalo (please specify when booking). You and your group (a maximum of 7 participants) will be outfitted in winter gear, including thermal overalls, boots, and a balaclava, as soon as you arrive at the base camp. Then, your experienced guide will provide a safety briefing along with an introduction to snowmobiling. Please note that all snowmobile drivers must be at least 18 years of age and be in possession of a valid driver's license.

With your helmet on, you'll feel a rush of adrenaline as you set out into the snowy landscapes of Ivalo at high speeds. You'll traverse the frozen Ivalo River and Lake Inari before arriving at Aurora Island and its private wilderness camp. There, you'll meet the adorable reindeer and have the opportunity to feed them.

Lunch will be served by the fire in a Lappish teepee, followed by hot drinks. (Vegetarian options are available, please specify any dietary requirements when booking.) As you warm up and relax around the fire, your guide will share fascinating insights into life in Lapland and its majestic reindeer. At the end of the excursion, you'll return to the original departure point in Ivalo with lifelong memories, and, hopefully, a newfound love for snowmobiling!

Immerse yourself in Finland's winter wonderland and book this snowmobile safari and reminder experience at Lake Inari from Ivalo today!

Fue muy emocionante conducir una moto de nieve sobre el lago. Después asamos unas salchichas al fuego y nuestro guía nos sirvió una sopa de reno que había preparado su abuela, un gran anfitrión!!

Wir hatten eine schöne Schneemobil-Tour, bei der wir sogar auf dem Inari-See Rentiere gesehen haben. Erwähnenswert ist auch, dass sich unsere Führerin viel Mühe gegeben hat.

Wir haben eine Schneemobilsafari in Ivalo gebucht. Diese verlief sehr positiv. Unser Guide war sehr freundlich und hat uns mit vielen Informationen rund um Umgebung, der Natur, der samischen Kultur etc. geben können. Wir waren durchaus zufrieden, hatten eine Menge Spaß und konnten dadurch, dass wir nur eine kleine Gruppe mit 3 Fahrzeugen waren, auch richtig Gas geben. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Paseo en moto de nieve que duró incluso más de lo que esperábamos. La comida en el tipi fue muy buena y la disfrutamos. Nos gustó mucho acariciar a los renos.
