Small Group Snowmobile Safari & Reindeer Farm Visit
Drive into the Arctic wilderness, enjoy a peaceful cabin stop and meet real reindeer on a family-friendly snowmobile adventure.Experience the true beauty of Lapland on a small-group snowmobile safari through peaceful Arctic wilderness, far away from the crowds of Rovaniemi.
Your adventure begins with a transfer to our safari house in a small and peaceful Lappish village, surrounded by forests and untouched nature. Here, you will receive warm winter clothing and your guide will introduce you to the snowmobiles, explain the safety instructions, and prepare everyone for the journey ahead.
Then it is time to head into the wilderness. Drive your own snowmobile or simply sit back and enjoy the journey as a passenger. Families with smaller children can travel comfortably in a sleigh pulled by the guide’s snowmobile, making this a great Arctic adventure for the whole family.
The route takes you through snow-covered forests and beautiful winter landscapes, passing the Pisavaara Nature Reserve and some of the most peaceful wilderness in the area. Far from city lights, traffic, and mass tourism, you can experience the silence and beauty of a real Lappish winter. Along the way, keep your eyes open for local wildlife. Reindeer, moose, foxes and other Arctic animals may sometimes be spotted in or around the forest.
During the safari, we stop at a cozy wilderness cabin, where you can warm up by the fire and enjoy hot glögi and traditional Finnish snacks before continuing the journey through the snowy forest.
After returning to our safari house, the experience continues with a visit to our reindeer. You will have the opportunity to meet and feed real reindeer and take photos with them before your transfer back.
This safari combines snowmobiling, Arctic wilderness and a genuine reindeer encounter in one relaxed experience. You do not need to drive a snowmobile to participate, making it an excellent choice for couples, groups and families with children.

Contact usWill we see the northern lights?
Nature decides. We monitor forecasts and take you far from light pollution to improve the odds. The night tour is magical even without aurora.

Our guide can help with your phone photos; professional photos are available on request (included on the private tour).

Yes. Sleigh tours are calm and cozy with reindeer hides; little ones can sit on a parent’s lap.
Can we book a private tour?
Absolutely. Any tour can be made private, and we offer a dedicated Private Evening with Santa experience.

Electric Reindeer is our name for an electric sled (model e-Scort Comfort, made by eDream, Finland). It’s near-silent and fume-free — you drive it on guide-led trails.
Do I need a driver’s license to drive the Electric Reindeer?
No license is required. The minimum age to drive is 15 on our guided trails. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. For safety, the guide may decide that a guest rides in the sleigh instead. Under-15s are welcome on our sleigh rides.
