Experience the snowy woods and the frozen Gulf of Finland. Our experienced guides will lead you to the amazing winter wonderland. Snowmobiling is a fun way to explore Helsinki and Sipoo archipelago during winter.

No previous experience needed, all driving- and safety instructions will be provided by our professional guides before start. You don´t need a drivers licence to go on a tour with us. You must be at least 15 years old to drive a snowmobile on our tours. Under 15 years old persons can join as passengers (you must reserve a seat for your children).

The snowmobile safaris always include a break at one of the islands when you can relax and enjoy lunch/ snacks and hot drinks by the campfire.

The snowmobile tours are arranged in Sipoo and Helsinki archipelago. Our snowmobile base is situated approx. 30 km east of Helsinki downtown, a 25 minute drive by car.

We also arrange snowmobile tours for private groups. Of course for our private groups the set-up can then always be modified, with own schedules and durations, tailor made routes depending on the group´s schedule, perhaps including meals, sauna, hot pool, add-on activities even accommodations and conference arrangements at Norrkulla island.

The snowmobile season starts as soon as the ice is thick and safe. Last season we started before new years! We will make updates yo the booking calendar as soon as we know when we can start.
