Amazing 3pm session - We had a great time on our tour. We were lucky enough to be the only ones in the session, so we could follow any tempo that we wanted. Our guide Matt was fun and friendly! We recommended this tour!

Extremely fun experience - What a fun time we had! I was hoping this would be the highlight of my trip and it delivered. We did the 2:30p tour so we got the best of both worlds both light/sunset and dark. Speed was perfect. Distance was just right. Our guide was Ruben and he was very friendly and the instructions were very clear. Whenever I’m back in Finland I am booking again!

Great scenic tour- Matt as our Guide - The trip overall was perfect. It wasn’t to long or to short, the breaks weren’t to few or to many. You traveled to two locations and got to enjoy everything in between. I went with a group of girlfriends and had Matt as our guide. He was incredible- good laugh- great pictures- really positive would absolutely ask for him and do the tour again.

Surreal Experience - It was -18C on the day. Clear Sky but very cold as we get ready in trademark Blue protective Suit in Wild Nordic office ( opposite to Santa Clause Village). Safety precautions, cold weather suit up, snowmobile ride instructions were all professional and well guided. Our tour guide lead driver was knowleable and very helpful. We hired 2 snowmobile, one for me & my wife. My teenage daughter with me as a pillion passenger. The whole driving experience was nearly 2hrs excluding the dressup time. Quite extensive and meticulous. We explored all kinds trails, roads ( long & winding). It was a lifetime surreal experience. Snowmobiling is easy if you know how to drive ( Car or Bike). You just need to have the basic sense of driving. I am very impressed by the professional levels of Wild Nordic. Higly recommended. Recommendation: If you do this activity in Winter ( Dec & Jan), please ensure you have cold protective hand gloves. Otherwise your fingers will freeze. And bring your driving your driving license with you ( Car or Bike). If you are not an adult, you will need to sit behind a driver.

A must-do experience in the Arctic circle - Came here to experience the snow mobile ride in real snow inside the Arctic circle. Staff & business seemed professional & well organised, paying particular attention in ensuring everyone had correct fitting protective clothing & footwear prior to battling the -21° C temps. Preliminary & start up instructions were succinct & easy to understand. The first 10-15 minutes, our instructor took us on some slow loops & gentle straight runs to get the feel of cornering & acceleration & then we began to extend the throttle for longer runs & faster corners through the Forrest. After about an hour, we had a short break for some warm grape juice & those with two riders were able to swap. Once again we took off with a shorter learning run for the new drivers & then we were off. Unfortunately by this time it was getting both dark & colder (now -24°), & the helmet visors & snow mobile windshields were both icing up, making visibility very difficult, especially for my wife who is of shorter stature & couldn't see over the top of the windshield. As a result, we & the pair riding in convoy with us had to slow down & ended up losing site of our group & instructor. After a 10 minute search, we couldn't find them & so proceeded back to the start point where our instructor then found us. Loved the experience despite this minor hiccup & our instructor was good value. I would like to suggest that perhaps they consider having heated windscreens in the snow mobiles and/or heated helmet visors - the air temp meant that every time you breathed out, the moisture from your breath fogged up & then froze on the inside of the visor - not good for vision, especially in the dark. Additionally, the back metal rails that the pillion passenger has to hang onto, are VERY cold in -21° temps, making it very hard for fingers to stay warm, even with the thick gloves we were given. It would be great if they were heated like the handle bars are. Just a couple of suggestions that would make the experience perfect.

Half Day Safari with lunch - We went on the Half day safari which included our lunch. Our guide Yovan was excellent & took our safety seriously while showing us the beautiful winter wonderland. Lunch was delicious & in a warm & stunning restaurant in the woods. There was only another couple & we all ride motorcycles so experience was to our advantage for a great ride. The only negative is the tracks are quite rutty & the helmets aren’t heated so the screen kept freezing up so we had to ride with them open & even with 2 balaclavas & a snood, 2 of us got frostbite/ burn on our cheeks. Suggestion to the company is to purchase the heated helmets & give customers the option to pay for hire as an upgrade if they choose too. It’s a safety issue in my opinion.

A little overrated - Personally I expected better, both as a driving experience and as a side dish. Difficult and stressful to ride the bike sled if you have never ridden, and the outline is no big deal. Experience overrated especially considering the price paid. Think carefully before you do it.

Well organized, but not my favorite - This tour was okay! We went in a group of about 10 snow mobiles (two per mobile) and went on a 2 hour tour. The entire time, we drove in a straight line on a very well traveled track. It didnt feel like we were in nature, but rather just driving these down a 'street'. I was also bored by the end...and think a shorter tour would have worked well for us. I went in winter, and didn't realize it would be pitch black the entire time we went (I was on a 2:30 tour, but we didnt go out until about 3:30 or 4pm), which for me, reduced the experience. I like being able to see the area we are driving through. If you've never snow mobiled, or have done it and LOVE IT, you would probably enjoy this. If you've snow mobiled before and are thinking this would be a good way to explore the area, I dont think you'll be as happy. The staff was AMAZING and they gave us everything we needed to stay warm and comfortable (boots, socks, gloves, jacket jumpsuit, etc.)
