During our stay in Rovaniemi we’ve booked three tours with the team of Snowmobile Park: a visit to a reindeer farm and husky park; a hike through the national park as well as a ride on snowmobiles hunting northern lights and we loved every bit of it.
All the guides were super nice, well informed and competent making all experiences awesome.
We can particularly recommend the hike since it’s pure bliss to walk through Finnish nature during a sunny winter day.

We did the snowmobile, ice fishing, reindeer farm tour. Not seeing it in the choices above. It was amazing. We spent the whole day going through the woods, ice fishing and visiting a 200 year old reindeer farm. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable and made the whole day one to remember.

We did a 3-hour snowmobile tour in the evening from 20-23h and it was great fun. The night was too cloudy to see northern lights but we knew this beforehand and it was still a great experience. We drove into the snowy forest and stopped by at a cottage to warm up, drink juice and eat some corn (or sausages for those who want). Going in the night is quite magical and there was no one else around as I think in the day time the area is also used for husky and reindeer trails. Snowmobiling was easy to learn and my mother could sit behind me as she didn't want to drive herself.
We were picked up and dropped off from our guesthouse in the city so transport was very easy.

My 6 year old had a fantastic time riding the snowmobiles designed for kids. We visited 3 times during our stay and it was her favourite activity of the trip.

As part of our holiday in Lapland my wife and I wanted a snowmobile experience. After a great deal of research we chose Arctic Snowmobilepark located in Santa Claus Village. Suffice to say this was an amazingly perfect adventure. There are loads of Snowmobile companies in Rovaniemi, many of which are huge and impersonal. Arctic Snowmobilepark are a smaller operation that offer a far more personal and tailored experience. It would be easy for me now to descend into a litany of superlatives describing just how good and perfect this day was. We chose the Day C experience which combined snowmobiling, reindeer driving, ice fishing and quite frankly a day that we will never forget. A brilliant experience from a top notch company.

Initially I was quite scared to drive on the 30 minute Snowmobile Safari, however Gustavo made me feel relaxed and provided encouragement - thank you! End result - I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend this activity and at this venue! Would love to do this again...

We did a 30 minute snowmobile ride with visit to the husky place and short husky ride. All new, good quality equipment. Safety briefing was reassuring and our guide made sure we were ok all the way on the trip. Good fun to see the huskies and give them a stroke.
They even gave us a good recommendation for where to go for lunch! Email communication also good.

We booked a snow mobile safari to the reindeer farm, and husky park. This was wonderful, infact quite magical. The day was very cold (for us, coming from Australia - our summer) we (2 adults and 2 children 4 and 7) had our own snowmobile that pulled the sled with the children. The children were really cold, even in snow clothes and I would recommend if your not used to it being this cold, purchase some warming pads to go in the kids shoes and gloves.
The forrest was amazing, so much snow, it was magical. By the time we got to the reindeer farm, we were like icicles lol, and we spent a few minutes warming up before enjoying a reindeer sleigh ride. The kids loved this, and to add to it, in true 4 and 7 year old humour, was delighted that our reindeer's went to the toilet while going around the track lol. The girls were thrilled with their reindeer driving license, aparently if santa is sick, they can step in!!
After their ride, we enjoyed a coffee and learned about reindeer's and thge farming of them. It was very informative and enjoyable.
Then off to the Husky Park. This was also a lovely experience, the dogs were so beautiful and the children loved being on a sled behind them. After enjoying time with the dogs, we enjoyed some hot berry juice (I kid you not, the hot berry juice was delicious) and learned about the huskies, we were lucky enough to see a 3 week old pup and oh my goodness, it was a little ball of cuteness, absolutely adorable.
Then back to the snow mobile park where the children could ride their own small snow mobile around a track.
This was the best value for money, and a wonderful 1/2 day adventure. Our children loved it, as did we. What ever age you or your children are, you will love this program, the staff at Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park, the Reindeer farm and the Husky Park are all lovely, helpful and extremely informative. I highly recommend doing this or another of their programs, you wont be dissappointed.

3 weeks ago, mid April, I visited Rovaniemi and enjoy a very special winter activity - Ice fishing.
We join an ice fishing group held by Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park, the company which located inside the Santa Claus Village, though this "group" only 2 of us, I and my boy friend, however, the company still sincerely accommodate us very much.
After changing of a very heavy snow suit, we get in a van and reach a frozen lake after about 15 minutes ride. Our leader is a Russian gentleman, everything he arranged very well.
We cannot get any fish at last, but the scenery is so placid and beautiful. It's touching just because I've never experienced that before. After having some grilled sausage and hot juice, we go back to the Company.
Recommend this activity to those love quiet, especially couple, because it's quite romantic :)

I saw from the website that 30mins snowmobile is €55, would like the check if thermal overall & helmet is included in this price, or we need to pay additional for rental of the thermal overall?

It’s all included. Go for it the experience was amazing. We went for the £100 three hour with a stop over at a hut with grilled sausages then back again I think your trip is too short. Driver licence is mandatory

Buona sera, arriveremo a Rovaniemi verso il 10 di dicembre. Siamo una famiglia con 2 bambine e siamo interessati al tour in motoslitta per l'aurora boreale. Le bambine durante il tour siederanno in parte a noi? Inoltre farete delle fotografie da dare ai visitatori?

I’m almost 100% sure you’ll have snow around that time. We went at the same time last year and it was incredible! Santa Claus village has plenty to do, plenty of restaurants and pubs around in the town centre too.
Hope you have a good time! :)
