Snowmobile and Ice Fishing in Rovaniemi

For a first snowmobile and ice fishing day from Rovaniemi, book Safartica’s Snowmobile and Ice Fishing Adventure with Lunch: the ride along frozen rivers, the fishing and a Lappish soup lunch cooked over the campfire are all in the price, which is US$186.44 per adult on November dates, US$219.34 in December and US$208.32 from January to March (checked November 2026).

Five days side by side

GetYourGuide calendars for 15 January 2027 (checked November 2026); Viator from-price from the Partner API (checked November 2026). Every price is per adult.

Safartica also sells its snowmobile, ice fishing and soup lunch day on Viator as Lappish Lunch Break - Snowmobiling, ice fishing and tasty food, from US$217.78 per adult (checked November 2026): 6 hours to 6 January, then 5 hours, meeting at its office at Koskikatu 9.

Who drives

Every driver needs a driving licence, and on the GetYourGuide days two people can share a snowmobile. Safartica’s and Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s drivers must be 18 or older with a valid licence; Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park adds that a provisional licence or a photo of one is not accepted, and asks for a passport or ID card too. StayLapland sells solo driving as its own option, and Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park as a supplement. If one of you has no licence, that person rides behind the other.

Children ride in a sled behind the guide’s snowmobile: aged 4 to 14 on Safartica’s day, 0 to 14 on Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s. A child 140 cm or taller can sit on the snowmobile as a passenger at the adult price on Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s and StayLapland’s days.

What else differs

The fishing spot. Safartica’s day drives “along frozen rivers” to “a hidden ice fishing spot in the middle of the wilderness”; Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s crosses a frozen lake; StayLapland’s goes to its own location, which it describes as more private and secluded.

Getting there. Safartica collects from 21 pickup locations (22 in December). Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park transfers guests to and from the centre of Rovaniemi, with no hotel pickup. StayLapland picks up within 10 km of the city centre, and may cancel or move the trip if fewer than 4 people book, with a full refund.

Staying in the centre puts you inside StayLapland’s 10 km and at the start of Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s transfer; where to stay in Rovaniemi weighs the other bases.

Who it does not suit. Safartica’s day is not recommended for pregnant women or people with a fragile musculoskeletal system. StayLapland's list is longer: pregnant women, people with back or heart problems, wheelchair users, people with a cold, a pre-existing medical condition or recent surgery.

Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park and StayLapland also sell their days on Viator, as Ice Fishing and Snowmobile Safari Combo in Lapland and Ice Fishing with Snowmobiles.

What reviewers say

Safartica’s day has 924 reviews on GetYourGuide at an average of 4.8, Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park’s 280 at 4.6 and StayLapland’s 95 at 4.6. On Safartica’s, a guest in February 2026 wrote of “plenty of time driving around on the snowmobiles with a break for the ice fishing”, and in December 2024 two reviewers disagreed about the same thing: one had “loads of time on the snowmobiles”, the other felt the distance was far shorter than expected. Safartica’s notes put the driving time down to the weather and the drivers’ skill.
