We strongly recommend that you pre-book all your safaris as demand can be very high particularly in December and during the peak ski season from February-March. Pre-booking will also allow you to plan your holiday better, as you will not have to waste precious holiday time locally at the resort trying to arrange safaris for your party at the last minute. We are partnered with experienced local safari companies and can easily pre-book all your preferred safaris prior to your departure to Finland, so you can concentrate on enjoying your holiday once in Finland. *** All pre-booked safaris in Ruka and Kuusamo include complimentary car transfers from / to your accommodation. *** Child prices in Ruka and Kuusamo vary according to season and entitle a child on snowmobile safaris to a place in a sled pulled by a snowmobile and driven by the guide. A child over 140cm tall may also sit on a snowmobile when paying an adult price. The peak season prices apply 1 December 2009-10 January 2010.
