My 18 y.o daughter and myself did the 2 hr Husky safari, absolutely loved it. We did the shared ride option where you share the driving and riding as a passenger ( as a passenger you can take great photos) was great to experience both. We had two girls in our group who were nervous about driving but staff were very helpful and at the end of the trip both were glad they had a go at driving the sled.. The two hour trip was long enough to get a good feel for the experience as it was very cold but we didn't " freeze" . Staff were very capable and obviously love their dogs (over 200 dogs and they know all by name) Highly recommend the tour, we finished with a warm drink and cake inside a nice warm building with a fire then visited the puppies. You are supplied with overalls and warm gloves/ boots if required.See more..
We booked our “Snowmobile safari to Husky kennel” tour which was a unique combination of snowmobile safari and Husky ride. Our guide Bruce did an excellent job of guiding us throughout the long 1hr ride to husky kennel and the way back for another hour. He patiently explained initially the mechanism of riding the snowmobile. As we were new to this he placed us at the front of queue and continuously kept an eye on everyone. Husky ride was wonderful 25 mins of excitement followed by lunch. We had requested for a vegetarian option (Sandwich, soup, dessert and coffee) which they accommodated. Highly recommend this safari as it covers both rides in one tour including a delicious lunch which works out much more economical than taking the individual rides.See more..
Booked 4 excursions with Wilderness Safaris Saariselka. Not disappointed with any! Upon arrival in Saariselka they supplied a snowmobile suit, gloves, boots and a balaclava to use for the whole week. Ice fishing provided no fish but did provide a great experience with snowmobiling, drilling the hole for fishing and enjoying hot juice, hot sandwiches and sausages over an open fire in a comfortable hut. First excursion to view the Northern lights on snowmobiles wsa cloudy and so no lights but still a great adventure on snowmobiles. The other 2 excursions, via a van to a remote lake and snowshoeing did provide great views of the Northern Lights. All the guides spoke great English, provided welcomed hot juices and food and took pictures that we could download. This was very important as my camera did not capture the lights that well. You must have a tripod and a DSLR that allows 30 second exposures at small F Stop values (2.n - 3.n) to take your own successfully.See more..
4.5Top Safaris Day Tours(54 reviews) - A wonderful snowmobile tour with the best guide, Janne Tuesday: 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM Gear Rentals • Nature & Wildlife Tours
We went on a 2-2,5 hour long snowmobile tour. We were lucky because we were part of a small group so we could drive fast -of course within the legal limit-. Janne, our guide was very friendly, he did talk a bit about the city and its surrounding and he took care of us. I 100% recommend to take a tour with the company. PS: sorry for the bad quality picturesSee more..
We had a perfect day on the snow mobile I’ve fishing safari with our three children aged 6, 12 and 13. This is a small family run business and it feels very personal, our guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was only the five of us and one couple but this is a small group company and it felt very special. The route for the snowmobiles took us through beautiful forests to the lake and home via the hill view of the sunset. At the lake our host taught us how to drill the ice and fish. He also chatted to our kids while we made a fire on the ice and made us sausages and hot juice. I couldn’t recommend this company more highly.See more..
We started our 3 hour tour meeting in the office next to Holiday Club Saariselkä. We were suited with appropriately warm outer clothing and boots and met our guide. She then drove us to the reindeer farm, where we were introduced to our reindeer Tippy and Purrka(sp?). At our time it was just my husband and I. We each had our own sledge. Tippy, a young reindeer, was very excited and a little over eager to get going. The guide was polite and answered all of our questions. We had hot berry juice and cookies around a fire about half way through our adventure. We ended at the farm where we feed and thanked our reindeer and then enjoyed soup made by the owner, who was so sweet and continued to fill us with more information.See more..
None of us had experience skiing, but with the guidance of our guide, Yukka, and countless falls, we gradually got the hang of it. Skiing was truly a workout, never have we felt so warm in freezing temperatures. The activity can be customised to the group’s skiing experience. For our level of experience, we felt the duration of the activity was just right. We also made a pitstop at a husky farm for hot chocolate (payable) and got to see some puppies and sled dogs. (The toilets have no sinks to wash your hands, snow and hand sanitisers were used instead). We ended off the activity with a 400m walk to the carpark, with our skis in tow, and had a nice cup of fruit tea and biscuits in the van. We would like to commend Yukka for his patience and words of encouragement. He made sure everyone had fun while prioritising safety. Overall a very enjoyable experience.See more..

Definitely 10 star's and planning to do it again very soon.See more..
5.0Northern Lights Riders(3 reviews) - Gave us a memory of life time Cultural Tours • Eco Tours • Private Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips
We visited on 29 Feb 2020. Even though cloud cover was less as per the app we were following but the KP index was just 3. We were skeptic about seeing the lights. Also the charges for the trip for Northern Light Riders were way higher as compared to other trip providers. However, there website content and what they had written showed a lot of dedication and seemed promising so we chose to take their 4 hour minivan trip and we are really proud of our decision. We were picked up at 7:30 from our place by Timmo. The mini van had a capacity of 12 people. Few people were picked after us. We then were taken to their office somewhere in Inari where we were given proper dressing. We finally started from there at 8:30 around. First went to lake Inari and stopped as northern lights were visible. The first view of northern lights was disappointing and we moved from there. For our second view we literally stopped on road side. Now the lights were visible. We took pictures. Timmo stopped again when he saw a better view of lights compared to earlier and gave us hot berry drink. We clicked pictures again. We taught this was the end of the hunt but the best was yet to come. He started dropping the passengers and after first drop he stopped on roadside and this was it. The most b'ful show, this time lights were visible to the fullest, green and red and pink. It lasted 7-10 mins. We were overwhelmed. Summary: You get pics clicked by guide's better camera, Timmo was cordial and dedicated, clicked lot of pictures, they stop wherever they can to show you a better view. We stopped 4 times, reached our drop point at 12 a.m. which was close to 5 hour trip. They might be expensive but we found it worth the trip.See more..
