Even close to Rovaniemi centre, the wilderness surrounds you. We take it easy on starting from the Arctic Lifestyle Safari House, and ensure that you are comfortable with the snowmobile and making few stops on the way.
This adventure is for everyone, even beginners. Feel free to ask your guide about snowmobiling in general or for some tricks on how to drive, unless you are busy taking pictures of the arctic beauty around you!
Total program is 3-4h. 2h is the actual time of snowmobile driving.

Snowmobile safaris:
The driver of a snowmobile must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver’s license in immediate possession.
Children travel in a sledge pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. In case a child prefers to travel as a passenger of a snowmobile, he / she must be tall enough to reach the handles and treads and strong enough to hold on tight. When a child travels on the snowmobile and not in a sledge pulled by a snowmobile, adult price (2 person / snowmobile) applies.
The snowmobiles and you as the snowmobile driver or passenger are covered by our insurance. The self-liability on damage of snowmobiles is max. 1 500 € / snowmobile. With a self-liability waiver (20 €) you reduce the self-liability to max 350€ / snowmobile. Every safari starts with instructions on driving and safety.
