Lapland Handbook Staff How we research this

The short answer

For a group of adults, book the private daytime safari with lunch in a wilderness hut, and take the damage waiver, because the excess per driver is high. For a family with children, book the private family safari instead, since the adults' version takes no children at all. If the price for the group is more than you want to pay, a shared safari with the children in a sledge is the fallback.

Highlighted figures are the best in that row: a safari for one group. Only the listings sold as private are marked. The private prices are for the group, but the listing does not say how many people they cover.

Where these figures come from
  • Private day ride, adults: Three hours on marked trails and private land with lunch in a kota, for adults only, priced for the group.
  • Private family ride: A private safari with a campfire on which the children drive mini-snowmobiles, priced for the group.
  • Shared forest ride: Two hours for a shared group, two adults to a machine and children aged 4 to 14 in a sledge behind the guide.

Private snowmobile safaris from Levi come from one operator, and the version you can book depends on whether children are coming.

For a group of adults

Scandinavian Travel Group’s private daytime safari spends three hours on marked trails and private land, with reindeer sausage and pancakes in a wilderness kota halfway. It is for adults only, drivers need a licence, and each driver carries an excess that a waiver reduces.1

For a family

The same operator sells a private family safari with a campfire, on which the children ride mini-snowmobiles, and a night ride and a summit ride for adult groups.2

The shared safaris are compared on the best snowmobile tour in Levi.

Questions people ask

Can one of us ride as a passenger?

Yes. The operator's standard arrangement is two to a snowmobile, with one driving and one riding, and a supplement if someone wants a machine to themselves. On a private safari that choice is yours for the whole group, so a couple who do not both want to drive can share one machine and keep the cost of the ride down.

What does the damage waiver change?

It lowers what a driver pays after an accident. Without it the operator holds each driver liable for a set excess; with the waiver, bought for a small fee per driver, the amount drops to about a third. Decide before the day, and count one fee for every driver in the group.

Is there a private safari after dark?

The same operator lists a private Arctic night snowmobile safari for adults only, and a private summit ride for adults who each drive a machine. Both are priced for the group and cost more than the daytime ride. Ask which of them runs on your dates and how many people the group price covers, since the listing does not say.

Lapland Handbook is written by its editorial staff in Rovaniemi. Every price, age limit and group size in a comparison is read from the operator's own page and marked "Not stated" when the operator does not publish it. Each guide names who should not book, and names the operator that suits each kind of group, whichever it is.
