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.
