Snowmobile Adventure

After dinner, the experience shifts gears. The snowmobile ride across the frozen lake is truly the adrenaline boost this tour offers. Imagine feeling the crisp Arctic air, the snow crunching beneath you, as you glide over the ice with the vast wilderness stretching out around you. This part of the tour is well-reviewed for its exhilaration and scenic beauty.

You’ll want to bring warm clothes, sturdy shoes, and your camera to capture the views. The ride lasts about an hour, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the thrill and the surrounding silence, broken only by the sound of your snowmobile.

Practical Details and Considerations

The three-hour duration means this is a relatively compact but intense experience. The transfer times—30 minutes each way—are smooth and comfortable, ensuring you’re not tired from long drives. The private group setting makes it feel exclusive, and the multi-language guides (English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, Italian) help make everyone feel at home.

Dress warmly in layers, as Arctic temperatures can be quite chilly, especially during the evening hours. Since snowmobile driving requires a valid license, make sure you’re prepared if you plan to take the wheel yourself. The tour is not suitable for children under 12, pregnant women, or anyone with heart problems, which is worth considering if traveling with family or friends with health concerns.

The cost of this experience is on the higher side, reflecting the private, premium nature of the experience. Many reviews mention that it’s a bit of a splurge but feel that the viewing and dining experience justifies the price, especially if a magical night under the Northern Lights is on your bucket list.
