SAFARTICA & JULIEN
Julien was our francophone guide. He is a person of unparalleled kindness and who inspires confidence. Our entire stay was perfect from the moment we picked up the group at the airport. All visits were punctual and well prepared. Julien tirelessly ensured that each person was well and understood all the information. THANK YOU

Become a "Licensed" Reindeer Driver
This experience was fun overall. I don't know what I enjoyed more --- the snowmobile ride over the frozen river in downtown Rovaniemi or the visit to the reindeer farm itself. As we sped out to the farm, I was amazed by all of the activity on the river. We whizzed by people ice fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking with their dogs and barbecuing. Could the reason why the Finnish constantly rate at the top of the happiest countries in the world be that they are always outside? The scenery is breathtaking! The Reindeer Farm was a unique experience, albeit the sleigh ride was rather short. The hosts were friendly and very funny. After the sleigh ride (I mean driving test) and a brief visit with reindeer we got to feed, they invited us into a small lodge for refreshments of warm blueberry juice and traditional cookies. They also regaled us with stories about the area, including the preserved animals on the lodge walls. Afterwards, we all trekked over to the farm's "police station" where we were all issued driver's licenses. The one issue I would like to put forth is for the people who do the hotel pickups and drop-offs. It says clearly on your voucher that you have to be on time! The driver will wait 10 minutes before leaving without you. This driver spent an inordinate amount of time driving around Santa's Village looking for the other two passengers who were supposed to be on the trip with us. For 25 minutes, these people were searched for and phoned repeatedly before they were located. That's pretty annoying for those who read all the instructions and showed up on time!

We had an absolute blast!
We had an absolute ball on our snowmobiling experience. Rob made everything so easily and fun. Even in a big group, Rob made us all feel safe and reassured that we were doing a great job driving our own on the safari. He was so encouraging of less confident drivers and he conscientiously stopped to take gorgeous photos of the group throughout the trip. I could not recommend this experience more highly!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time on your snowmobiling experience and that you felt everyone in the group was considered and had fun—this is something we always aim for! We truly appreciate your recommendation. ❄️🌲

Nice tour, bad organization by tour guide
We have enjoyed the tour as a family BUT the guide had a terrible pick up and drop off plan to pick us up first and drop us off last which means 1.5 hours in a buss as, really not acceptable,
Response from the operator: Hi Manuel! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are pleased to hear that the tour was satisfying but sincerely apologize for not managing the logistics on that specific day in the best possible way. We hope this did not affect your overall experience in Lapland! 🧡🌲

A unique experience for me, the dream awakened in the land of Santa Claus in a beautiful setting where everything is frozen
A great experience, with a super very attentive Nico guide, snow bike ride in the forest at night where everything is frozen under the snow, until the arrival at the reindeer farm for a hot drink and kisses around a brazier, magical experience and end up sledging with reindeer 👌
Response from the operator: Hi, Reading reviews like yours brings us so much joy! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re thrilled to have been part of making your Lapland adventure truly unique and memorable.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm cost?
+
Prices start at $97 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.
Is In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does In Pursuit of Reindeer - Snowmobile safari and reindeer farm start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?
+
On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
