4.Evening Snowmobile Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 185 reviews · 3 hours · from $166Top rated

You’ll ride a shared snowmobile through Levi’s snowy forests and possibly across a frozen lake, with winter gear, a guide, hot drinks, grilled sausage, and pastry included. Guides such as Helmi, Brent, and Nikola are known for calm instruction and helpful photo stops. Aurora sightings depend on clear skies.

“The snowmobile driving was really nice and funny! The extra clothes and material provided was really appreciated as it was really cold (-25 C). The group was definitely too big (over 20 people in total). The BBQ (1 sausage) is something that could have been avoided and maybe more information about Lapland, Finland, etc. On the way back we were lucky enough to see some amazing Northern Lights but we could only stop for a few minutes and the guide didn't have a camera. It would have been great to capture this moment and take home this memory.”

Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
