- elialobsk0 contributionsNorthern lights in RovaniemiDefinitely an amazing experience! Our guide, Tiina was so kind and patient( thanks again💖) ! She told stories while the tour and took us to different nice spots to know better the area and of course see the northern lights 😀 The fire fox appeared in the sky and we could admire the beauty of that dance.Written September 21, 2024
- G601YSemmam0 contributionsBest trip everWe stayed at the Vaattunki Wilderness resort in the Panorama Huts which was lovely and warm. The staff were all soo kind and helpful. They helped us to book a taxi and kept us up to date on the status of the Northern lights. The food was made fresh every day and it was delicious. Every day you could choose between a meat, fish or vegetarian option with a selection of salads and soup. All the activities were arranged via Safartica. All the staff were also soo kind and helpful. There was a daily shuttle bus from the resort to Santa Claus village and the town centre. We did the snowmobile safari to the reindeer farm, which was fantastic. We also got to feed the reindeers. Everyone was also so knowledgeable. The husky safari was also a must do and you got to cuddle with the dogs afterwards. The northern lights search by snowshoes is a work-out and harder than we thought, but also a must do. On the last day we had the Lappish Kota diner and we never had better salmon than that. The food was traditionally cooked in a Kota and a must do for your last day in Rovaniemi, but do remember that there is no central heating so put your suit from Safartica on. It was also nice that you did not need to hand in the suit for every activity but we got to keep our suit for the week and could hand them in at the resort at the end of our trip. This was definitely a trip to remember and the staff made it extra special and made the experience even greater.Written May 30, 2024
- advaitt20230 contributionsAwe inspiring auroras!It was an amazing experience, absolutely splendid to see the lights dance across the sky. The guides were very helpful and friendly. They took us to a location with very little light pollution where we had a clear, cloudless view of the sky. Thank you safartica for the superb experience!Written April 10, 2024
- tammyrW5692IB0 contributionsSnow mobiling/Ice Fishing with MartinMy family and I took the 5 hour snow mobile and ice fishing tour and lunch with MARTIN. First off, Martin was nothing short of amazing! He was kind and funny and did his absolute best to make sure our kiddos had the best experience. We were extremely lucky and were the only ones to book the tour that day, so we had a private tour, making the day even more special. The views while snow mobiling down the river and through the forest were exceptional. The ice fishing was a fun and informative activity. We weren’t lucky in catching anything, but it didn’t take away from the fun at all. We then took the snow mobiles to a quaint cottage in the woods where Martin started a fire and cooked soup, sausages and bread for lunch. It was a nice warm break and provided more time to learn about Finland from our amazing guide. Martin told great stories and even gave us better recommendations for the hike we planned to take the next day. (We took his advice and the hike was perfect!) The tour was definitely a 5 star experience and an absolute highlight of our time in Finland! Thank you Martin!Written April 6, 2024
- kamillarenatad0 contributionsEaster in RovaniemiI took part of an Italian group. We have spent the Easter holidays in Rovaniemi. We had an italian speaking guide, Isabella. She was really a great guide, very kind and well-informed about every issue regards to Rovaniemi and about northern lights. She talked us about a lot of interesting things. I really enjoyed the programs we had.Written April 4, 2024
- 665federicam0 contributionsUnforgettable day in the depth of the artic forestThis was one of the best experiences we had during our stay in Lapland. Boris, our guide, was extremely polite and so knowledgeable, he knows the area so well and we got to drive through some amazing spots. Everything was just perfect: our guide, our small group, the weather (we had snow which was amazing), the landscape and the ride itself! It's really full day and you are really able to make the most of snowmobiling as the tour covers lots of distance. We totally recommend doing this experience if you are looking for snowmobile tours in Rovaniemi. Thank you sooo much Boris for an unforgettable day of fun and beauty!Written April 3, 2024
- M1198KFbeatrizv0 contributionsAwesome!We did the snowmobile tour and it was awesome!!! Our guide Joaquin drove us to a lot of beautiful places and took care of us during the activity. We would repeat this experience hundreds of timesWritten March 31, 2024

- 703siemv0 contributionsA reliable company with great serviceWent on multiple excursions in the Rovaniemi and Ylläs area with Safarica in the past week, the team on each of them felt like a well oiled machine. The most impressive part, was the collective number of languages spoken by the guides. I was especially blown away by the girl with the blond & brown hair speaking 4 languages pretty much fluently.Written March 22, 2024
- 618abhib0 contributionsGreat overall Experience! Were able to capture the Auroras!The tour was really good. We were able to spot the aurora at the 2 locations the guide took us. The guide was good and took us to great viewing spots, as well as captured good photos. Overall happy with the experience and will recommend to take the tour at least once when in Lapland!Written March 20, 2024
- SURFINGMADZIA0 contributionsBest of the best! Snowmobile activity for bucket list.Snowmobile safari was on my husband bucket list and we reviewed carfully each and every company before deciding for Safartica tour combining not one exciting attraction but 3 (ride + hotel + dinner). But from beginning. We were picked from Santa Clause village and taken to the Rovaniemi city center office. We collected our equipment, bought extra insurance (think it was good to have), walked to the river side where we got proper instructions from our guide Hugo. We were in a group of 9 (5 snowmobiles) which was really good size (maybe we were lucky). We drove to the hotel with max speed of 40km/h. Snow hotel is a unique place. I really did not think it would impress me that much. Lappish dinner in Kota was another special experience. Salmon portions were good size and soo tasty. On the way back we were allowed to drive 70km/h. Summarising only positive feedback: + guide Hugo 11/10 - knowledgable and friendly + total 80km ride 9/10 - snow conditions made it a bit bumpy ride (should not blame organisers about weather conditions, it was beatuful sunny day) + snow hotel 10/10 - suprisingly exciting attraction + lappish dinner in Kota 11/10 yammy + nice and well organised group 10/10 Thank you Hugo and Safartica!Written March 18, 2024
- Fly-Wills0 contributionsAmazing company to book through. Would highly recommendHighly recommend the company for any bookings during your stay in Rovianemi. Extremely friendly and professional. All equipment provided including snow suits, boots, gloves, socks etc. Office is conveniently located in the centre of Rovianemi city. Transport to the excursion is comfortable, clean and spacious. We used Safartica for our Buba Huskey visit and our Safartica rep was great! She provided knowledge on the way about the city, the dogs and what to expect and was there to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend Safartica for any excursions bookings.Written March 16, 2024
- 766braydanc0 contributionsA mystical experienceHaving never been to a place quite as cold as Rovaniemi, I felt quite out of place in the beginning. By the time I was gone, I was incredibly thankful to have come out of my comfort zone and created so many great memories. This was largely due to having an enthusiastic and skillful guide named Noa. He had a great sense of humour and made sure to maximise our fun whilst prioritising our safety too. Despite the clouds covering the sky during my visit, I would definitely recommend going to Rovaniemi and looking at the beautiful snow forest on a snowmobile, going ice bathing, and much more. Hopefully you get a guide as good as ours!Written March 15, 2024
- Jain7420 contributionsNo Lights: Good TryVery well done. Seeking the Aurora, the bus (comfy and large) went to several locations seeking lights. While we didn't see any Northern Lights, the staff were helpful, tried hard to find good spots, and were careful with the customers. Nothing you can do about clouds, but this group did its best. Would go back with them -- if the weather was cooperating.Written March 14, 2024
- Relax160077728430 contributionsSnowmobile tour in RovaniemiVenturing into the snowy landscapes of Rovaniemi, I embarked on an exhilarating snowmobile tour guided by Mr Alejandro. His extensive experience in snowmobiling was evident as he briefed us on safety protocols, ensuring that each participant felt confident and prepared for the upcoming expedition. . Their adeptness at reading the terrain and assessing potential hazards instilled a sense of trust and security among the group, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the thrill of the adventure.Their infectious enthusiasm and good humor kept spirits high, turning even the most challenging moments into opportunities for laughter.Whether you're a seasoned snowmobiler or a first-time rider, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on a tour with Alejandro for an experience that promises excitement, enlightenment, and lasting memories.Written March 8, 2024

Forget this company and also the tour. It is a real turist invasion, more than 20-30 people of each group, you can not enjoy the trip. If you would like to feel how Lapland is look like and feel the local people hospitality never go with this company. Take care which webpage you book because they are advertising but under another name of Agencies... For them the most important is the income!!!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Sorry to hear about your unhappy experience about the tour you refused to join. I understand your frustration about the big group size during the high season (in fact, there were 17 people on that tour, or 7 snowmobiles + a sledge for kids in that case). It may feel like a lot at first, but with 2 guides it goes very smoothly, and our guides often split the group after the start so that everyone can get the most out of the ride.
For when the group size gets too big, we normally open a new departure, exactly so that we don't end up with 30 people in one snowmobile safari. We also give an option to do our safaris private, if you want to ensure there are no other people on the tour.
Didn't quite understand what you mean by "advertising under another name". We operate and advertise by our Safartica brand. Some online travel agencies/marketplaces (who sell activities) do not always clearly state the name of the service provider. Maybe that is what you meant?
We are not an NPO, so income is of course important (otherwise we wouldn't be able to provide the service), but even more so we care about the service quality and customer experience we provide. That's why we thank you for your valuable feedback that helps us improve.

I have been living here for 6 months and thanks to Veera we could see the best views I have ever seen in Rovaniemi. She was also very helpful. She attended us with happiness and sweetness. My all family of 8 agree on this. Thank you!
And we did five tours more, ice floating, huskies and snowmobile we agreed on, were the best valued by us. To leave one we would have left the reindeers tour because they go too slow.
Also, we had Nico as our driver a couple of times and we would have loved to have him a tour guide too!

Way less people at once (we were like 20 snowmobiles). Because like that you always have to wait and care for the slow ones. And you always had to stay in line like in kindergarden. But the place we went was very beautiful and the guides were nice as well.

I loooved it!!
It was so much fun and the guides (Beliza & Nico) were very nice and helpful!!
It was nice that we had the ski suit and the gloves (don't forget to take your own gloves too)
Also guys make sure to wear good clothing underneath the suit as it's already cold outside and the wind on the snowmobile was not helping 🤣.
It was one of the vacation memories i'll never forget!
We are already so nostalgic about it 🥹
I definitely recommend it!!

Thank you so much elonasab,
It's true. We provide outdoor clothes for all our safaris but one should be prepared with good thermals to wear underneath as only the outdoor overall is usually not enough to stay warm.
I'm really happy to hear you have had a good time with our great guides Beliza and Nico! :)

First off, we would like to thank our guides Petteri and Jarvi (we think that was his name), you guys were awesome!
After the initial procedures (self-liability, instructions, giving out clothes...) we went to the snowmobiles. We had a crystal clear night with full moon which made it even more magical. I really enjoyed it, though it was a bit slow, due to inexperience of some members, but nothing you can do here. Road takes you through the frozen river and woods. The bbq was nice, but the office did not mention to the guides that we would prefer a vegeterian menu, but the blame is on the office, not on our guides. After the bbq we mentioned if there is a possibilty of 2 groups (slow and quick one) and our guides did exactly that. We sped up to almost 100 km/h to release some adrenaline :)
I think that if you are able to listen and communicate like a normal person, your trip can be really really good! Guides are super flexible, so be not afraid to ask them anything. They can't read minds and lashing out on them through reviews won't improve your experience.
PS: Bear in mind that it is better to pay 15€ instead of 900€!

Dear Anetri,
Thank you for your valuable feedback! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with us!
I am sorry for the vegetarian option not provided in the tour, we usually take note of all our guests' food requirements, but i have the feeling that in this case the information have been lost in between of our systems.
We hope to have you back one day in Lapland.
Best Regards,
Andrea

We had an amazing time snowmobiling and Jenni was the best instructor and tour guide we had on our entire holiday. Loved the stop over break by the fire to enjoy some traditional finish food before driving back in the dark.
