Following good recommendations, we booked a snowmobile ride with the Pure Lapland and based on our experience we can add another 5 stars!
The trip was only for our family so 2 snowmobiles for us and one for the guide (our 9-year old daughter was sitting as a passenger). Joona – our guide was great. Very attentive, checking all the time on us, taking some photos and making short films and always with a big smile. After a short explanation how to operate the machine we run along a frozen river to a forest. It was a great fun for all of us. Out of 3h of activities we were riding around 1,5h; then we arrived to an island on a frozen lake; Joona showed us how to make a fire in the arctic environment and prepare coffee over the fire. Then we grilled some sausages and marshmallows . It was an unforgettable adventure.
We hope to came back to Lapland and try a husky ride with the Pure Lapland.

What an amazing experience - We had booked a husky autumn ride on the 25th of October 2022.
Although the scenery was breathtaking and the husky's were cute and very well trained, what was most pleasurable about the whole trip was how well we were taken care of by Husky Ride Arctic Circle. Getting picked up in the city center, being provided with suitable clothing, getting to spend plenty of time just talking and asking questions, spending time with the dogs and getting to learn a lot about the area.
The guides were so accommodating and helpful, and even ensured that there would be photo opportunities underway.
It was evident to see, that the dogs were being taken well care of, and that they were eager to spend some energy. As we did this in the autumn before snowfall, the sled was on wheels, but this did not make the experience any less interesting; sledding through the landscape in the autumn provided a beautiful scenery. All in all, a fantastic experience which we would highly recommend for everyone.

This was a bucket list experience for both the dog sledding as well as the snow mobiles. It was a flawless booking experience and great communication confirming pick up points in town and clothing they supplied. All the equipment was well maintained and in working order. The clothing they supplied was essential and they had multiple sizes and options from boots all the way up to balaclavas. Clothing was laundered and in good condition.
You can see the operator and their staff love what they do and this feeds back into your enjoyment. The dogs are well kept and were eager and friendly to get out and run - almost seemed as if they were playing whilst they ran.
We absolutely recommend these activities and have no concern recommending the operator Pure Lapland.

Unfortunately our trip wasn’t as good as we’d hoped. Due to the weather we were only able to have 10 mins being pulled by the Huskies. PureLapland would only refund the price of 1 child despite us all getting less than half the experience. Whilst you’re shown around the kennels and have a warm juice in a tent the main reason you book the excursion is for the husky ride itself. The team are very nice but to spend €400 hrs for 10 mins of husky ride wasn’t a fair price for the experience we had.

We went ahead for a one day experience with Joona to the Kourouoma frozen waterfalls. As our 6 years old was not walking fast and we left later than we supposed to, we finished by spending an extra two hours on the trip. Joona was very patient and even did an U-turn with the car to show us some wild reindeers, so that we can see them. Our guide even took some artistic photos and sent them for free for us! We were over the moon. Thank you Pure Lapland!

Beautiful surroundings. Well organised and friendly guides. Small group, total of 6 persons. three sleds. It isn't a trip like in a tour. Where you go into the woods and travel a long way. This is a total of four rounds for about 3 km. And after two rounds a break. The dogs need to rest and you can pet the dogs and have a small conversation with the guides. After that again 2 rounds. And at the end you get something to drink in a warm tent. Total maybe an hour / hour and a half. So it was nice to do but I've done this also in northern Norway and that was a trip for a few hours, through fields of snow, woods and other beautiful surroundings. If its possible in rovaniemi, I would book something like that (I thought the booking with purelapland was a tour in stead of a few rounds).

Our family used pure Lapland for a Husky experience. It was amazing. We got picked up at our hotel, From the start we were really looked after. They provide us with clothes and transport. The guide was really nice and friendly and really did love his job. It was a short drive to the location where we were greeted by other staff members looks lovely. I think even a briefing on how to drive slays with the Huskies and then we will take it only 3 km tour. The location is amazing. Scenery is brilliant and had a quick break provided us with hot liquids around the fire in a Tepee. We then went back out for another couple of laps and then back in. From start to finish, it was amazing experience. Really friendly and loved just running around the woods.

We were group of six, 4 adults (one pensioner, one 7 months pregnant) and two kids. Easy pick up from city centre. Done the 10k experience. Dogs were gorgeous. Staff were so friendly and helpful, anything possible like changes to who was mushing etc. Break mid way with fire hot juice and cookies. Really great experience. We ended up kooking snowmobile safari on the day, was really good, went across frozen river and through forests, highlight was free time where every1 including the kids got to take the snowmobile for a spin, so every1 had a turn and there was no rush. The kids loved this. Kids statlrted feeling cold so Christian got as back as quick as he could. Would recommend the huskies and snowmobile. Massive thanks to Christian who was so good to
us, nothing was a problem.

A few days ago we did the aurora light quad tour. The tour was very well organized with a amazing tour guide, driving through the dark forest, making our own campfire and searching for the lights. The whole experience was more unforgetable.

We had a really nice quad tour through the woods this morning. We were able to take some great photos and videos. Our guide Joona also took some photos and videos of us, which we were able to download after the tour. Cookies and drinks were served. We had a great adventure!
