The short answer

Share a machine if you can: the saving on the Tornio rides is 100 euros a head over riding alone. A family with two children aged four to fourteen can price the Tornio rides exactly, because the child fare is printed. The Kemi rides are cheaper per head for the short sunrise outing but print no child fare. Book the Tornio rides only once your dates are firm, since their free cancellation ends two days before.

Every shared snowmobile price near Tornio is per person, with two people to a machine. The total for your party turns on how many machines you fill and who rides in a sledge.

The Tornio rides

Both Tornio rides cost 175 euros a head for two sharing a snowmobile, 275 for one person alone on a machine, and 75 for a child of four to fourteen in a towed sledge.1 Two adults sharing pay 350 euros; two adults who each want their own machine pay 550. A family of two adults sharing one snowmobile with two children in the sledge pays 500, though the page does not say how many children one sledge takes. The price includes the overalls, boots, helmet and gloves, and a hot drink.2 The company sells from its own website, and the booking platforms do not list these rides.

The Kemi rides

Out of Kemi the shorter rides cost less per head: two adults pay 260 euros for the sunrise ride, 300 for the night ride and 520 for the three-hour forest ride, with the winter outfit and helmet lent on each. No child fare is printed.3 The company’s own website lists these rides without prices, so the platform is where the figures are published.

Cancelling

The Tornio company refunds in full up to 48 hours before departure and charges the whole booking after that.4 The Kemi rides and the private tour near Kemi are sold on a platform that refunds up to 24 hours before.5 With a changeable plan, that extra day matters more than the difference in price.

The private tour near Kemi, which is priced for the group rather than per head, is explained on private snowmobile tour in Tornio, and the rides themselves are compared on snowmobile safari in Tornio.

Questions people ask

Do children pay on the Kemi sea rides?

The listings this site has read do not print a child fare. The sunrise ride lets a child over twelve who is 140 centimetres tall sit behind the driver, so the child takes a seat on the machine, but whether that seat is charged, and at what rate, is not stated. Ask for the figure before you compare it with the Tornio rides, where the child price is printed.

Why does the Kemi-side snowmobile park appear at two prices?

The lodge that runs it lists a four-hour snowmobile safari on GetYourGuide at 99 euros a head, and the site's supply survey found a four-hour listing called Snowmobile drive by the same lodge on Viator at 120. The two carry different names and this site cannot tell whether they are the same outing. Compare the inclusions on both listings before you book either.

Are there costs on top of the price on the day?

The Kemi company's ice-fishing trip by snowmobile charges a supplement of 55 euros for a driver who wants a machine alone, when one is available. The private tour near Kemi names a deductible of 1,300 euros per driver if a snowmobile is damaged. The Tornio company prints neither a supplement nor a deductible beyond its solo price, so ask what you would owe after a mishap.
