Me and my wife recently got married at nearby Kakslauttanen and we rented a snowmobile for an evening from Maria and Andrey on our last night in Lapland. It was a last minute decision but they were very flexible and were prepared to have everything ready even quicker than we could manage!

Everything about the experience was great from start to finish and was beyond our expectations. Booking was simple, the gear that comes with the rental (boots, overalls, helmets etc) was fantastic quality and the snowmobile itself was excellent.

Our only regret is not discovering this place sooner as we would most certainly loved to have rented a snowmobile for several days. They are so fuel efficient too! We spent a good 4 hours going up hills, travelling all the way down to Kakslauttanen and back and all at decent speeds too, and even with the expensive fuel prices in Lapland it only cost 9 euros in fuel! Bargain!!!!

We are already looking forward to coming back to Lapland and will be getting in touch with Polar Creek nearer the time to book a snowmobile again!

We had a perfect day on the snow mobile I’ve fishing safari with our three children aged 6, 12 and 13. This is a small family run business and it feels very personal, our guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was only the five of us and one couple but this is a small group company and it felt very special. The route for the snowmobiles took us through beautiful forests to the lake and home via the hill view of the sunset. At the lake our host taught us how to drill the ice and fish. He also chatted to our kids while we made a fire on the ice and made us sausages and hot juice. I couldn’t recommend this company more highly.

We engaged Polar Creek for the Snowmobile + Ice Fishing..(2 adults / 2 kids).
Our tour guide Andrey who was fun, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and very experience.
He is taking us via longer route to the lake that you won't see any other tours common spot.
I would highly recommended their service.

Amazing service and friendly people! Andrey picked us up from airport, rented kayaks, advised great kayaking route, picked up from destination and took us back to Ivalo. Couldn’t wish any better service. Thank you, i will come back!

After getting our first taste of snowmobiling during a safari the day before, we went to Polar Creek to rent a machine to go out by ourselves. The snowmobile was state of the art and Maria was very accommodating. Being out in the wilderness on your own, being able to stop whenever you want and drive wherever you want (as long as you keep yoo the tracks of course) is really incredible and beats joining a tour and queuing behind a guide by a mile

We booked a family snowmobile 2hr tour with Polar Creek and really enjoyed our experience. Booking was simple and the communication from Maria was great. On the day we received all the equipment we needed and extra warm clothing for our children. The tour itself was very enjoyable and we were well looked after, it was just the four of us and the tour guide was it was a very personal service we got unlike many of the other companies we saw with loads of snowmobiles per tour ( up to 20 snowmobiles). We would highly recommend this small family run company

My husband and I had two snowmobile tours with Andy while we were in Saariselka in January 2020 and we can honestly say that it was one of the highlights of the trip for both of us. Andy was really friendly and easygoing and really took us out on nice routes on the snowmobiles. We got to stop often to take pictures and we had a really nice time. These tours have not been over-commercialized like some of the other tour companies and we found that we much preferred this type of activity.

We took a snowmobile safari for two hours and got more than our money’s worth on that trip! The people in Polar Creek helped us tremendously with all the information needed and were extremely helpful with all aspects of our experience. There were four of us and we had two snowmobiles to ride. Very well organised and excellent worth for our money!

Because we were with a big group, I've made the reservation in advance. Maria helpt me excellent with the excursions. We had some special wishes and that was no problem. We made several excursions. We went on a Husky tour. Because this wasn't our first time to lapland we already been on 2 husky tours. This one was one of the best. Andrey, our guide from Polar Creek, is a very kind person. So easy to get along with..
We also book the ice fishing trip. Andrey took us to a lake and provided us with a fishing rod. While we were fishing, he made sausages on an open fire. Also very nice.
We also went on the chasing aurora trip. And YES we saw the northern lights. Andrey took beautiful pictures of our group with the northern lights. So yes I really would recommend this company. it's a small company, what we prefer, and they are very kind.

We had a great snow mobile & ice fishing experience! It was a really nice, small group, and everything was very relaxed.
Even though we booked it last-minute, everything worked out perfectly. Andrey and Maria were very accomodating and helped us out a lot!
