    C’était super ! Marcus était notre guide ! Nous étions un petit groupe de 3, on a pu profiter de la motoneige sur un lac gelé et une partie en forêt ! Les motoneiges sont puissante, sur le retour nous avons pu exploiter la puissance de l’engin ! Le barbecue en plein air est un gros plus à la sortie ! Je recommande vraiment.

    Our guide was great. Such an interesting guy. We had never ridden snow mobiles before so he taught us how and all of the safety aspects. He couldn’t do enough for us. Photos, video and extra sausages & marshmallows by the fire. Unfortunately because of the weather we didn’t see the northern lights but that can’t be helped.

    El Safari no ha cumplido con nuestras expectativas, por: solo estuvimos buscando las auroras boreales lo que el guia se fumo un cigarro y solo paramos una vez, es decir 5 minutos. Luego el grupo no estuvo dinamizado por el tour, fue muy aburrido, no nos contó nada, le teníamos que preguntar para que hablara. Aunque nuestra lengua materna no es el inglés, igualmente tiene que procurar que lo entendamos y que estemos a gusto, por eso pagamos, no para que nos ignore. Nos caímos de la moto y lo primero que provo el guia fue si la moto funcionava y estaba bien, luego nos preguntó cómo estábamos, la segunda vez no vino, para que pasara algo más grande y nos quedamos allí tirados. También parecía que fuéramos a una carrera, porque no paraba de acelerar y eso nos provocó la caída y un mal estar, ya que considero que no puede asumir que todo el mundo sabe conducir una moto de nieve y que además no nos perseguia nada. Podía preguntar y adaptarse a las necesidades del grupo, ya que siendo solo dos motos considero que podía ser fácil. La barbacoa ofrecida por el tour duro 1h, lo que podíamos haber aprovechado para ir a buscar auroras boreales. La comida fueron dos tazas de té con dos galletas de una bolsa del supermercado y una salchicha sola en un plato, con un poco de ketchup o mostaza, a palo seco. Considero que de las 3 horas programadas para el Safari estuvimos 1h en moto, 1 h en la barbacoa y 45 minutos para prepararnos para la salida. Por último y para rematarla el guia, después de no haber procurar que viéramos las auroras boreales, lo acaba preguntando cómo lo han pasado y mi respuesta fue bien lástima no haber visto las auroras, a lo que el contesta, quizás la próxima vez. Esto fue la gota que derramó el vaso; después de haber hecho muchísimos km, venir al círculo polar ártico para ver una experiencia única, me dice "maybe the next time", a palo seco. En resumen càlid precio muy malo. No cumple con las expectativas del tour.

    This ended up being one of the best things we did in Lapland. Our guide, JP, was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. We had an amazing time snowmobiling. But the Lappish BBQ in a little cabin in the woods was something we won’t soon forget. Highly recommended!

    We did the Northern Lights Snowmobile safari on 20th January 2019. They picked us up from our hotel in Rovaniemi on time and took us to the venue where we changed into the appropriate clothing to keep us safe and warm. I will be honest, I was not looking forward to this trip at all as I was terrified of going on a snowmobile but my partner really wanted to do it. We shared a snowmobile, my partner drove and I was the passenger as I didn't want to drive. It turned out not to be very busy and it was just myself and my partner with our own guide on a snowmobile in front. This was great for us. Our guide ( I think his name was Franz) took us to our snowmobile and showed us how to use it as we had never been on one before. It had heated handle bars which is good for the driver. Franz explained that accidents only happen when people get over confident and go too fast especially around corners. He also showed us hand signals to use if we needed to stop, slow down etc. As we set off I was petrified and my partner a little nervous as he hadn't driven one before. We ended up going so slow that we got stuck going round a corner as we didn't use enough power. Franz was very patient with us and explained we could go a bit faster and would be safe. We drove for about an hour, driving through the most beautiful scenery which was simply breathtaking and over a frozen lake. I eventually began to relax as my partner got more comfortable driving the snowmobile and I just appreciated the stunning views. We stopped after about an hour and our guide built a campfire where we warmed ourselves up with a hot chocolate and warm cinnamon bun. My partner was a bit disappointed as the info we got did promise sausages over a campfire but I had emailed them as I am vegetarian so we ended up both getting a cinnamon bun instead. After warming up and the guide telling us stories about the Northern Lights ( we didn't see them that night as too cloudy) we headed off again on the snowmobile. The guide stopped to show us places of interest and it was honestly just the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. After about an hour we headed back which we were glad about as we were beginning to get cold. Our guide was worried as he thought we would be upset at not seeing the Northern Lights but we knew this was not guaranteed and were just so happy with the views and experience we had just had. Our guide Franz made this trip, he was so friendly and made me as a very nervous passenger feel safe. I ended up loving this trip and would go on a snowmobile again. I highly recommend this trip.

    the tour was good the guides were great however it is not really a northern lights safari as you spend only about 15 minutes actually in an open field with the snowmobiles off and dark and looking for the lights
