Tonttula Elves Village is one of Levi’s most distinctive family attractions, combining Lapland stories, fairy tales, mythology and nature. With Kinos Safaris, the experience begins before you even reach the village: your private group travels there by snowmobile through snowy forests and open marshlands.
The three-hour programme includes the guided snowmobile journey, warm driving gear, snowmobile instructions, a guided visit to Elves Hideaway, lunch soup and coffee. It is an easy way to turn a family attraction into a complete Lapland adventure.
What happens on the Tonttula snowmobile safari?
The safari starts from the Kinos Safaris office in Levi. After changing into the provided winter gear, drivers receive clear instructions before the guide leads the group onto the trail.
The journey runs for approximately 30 kilometres in total, taking you through classic Lapland winter scenery on the way to Tonttula. At the village, your guide takes you on a tour of Elves Hideaway. Lunch soup and coffee are included, and there is time to visit the souvenir shop before returning to Levi by a different route.
The full experience lasts approximately three hours. The published optional departure time is 09:00, giving families an activity that fits comfortably into the first part of the day.

The Tonttula safari is a private experience exclusively for your group. A minimum charge equivalent to four adults sharing snowmobiles applies to Kinos Safaris private tours. Contact the team for the correct total for your family and travel date.
Why does the experience work so well for families?
Tonttula offers children a playful introduction to Lapland stories, while the snowmobile journey gives adults a genuine sense of the surrounding Arctic landscape. Instead of treating the ride as a simple transfer, the programme makes it part of the day.
The private format is particularly valuable for families because your group travels together. It also gives the guide a clear understanding of the experience levels and needs within your party.
The published information does not provide one universal passenger age, child-height or seating rule for every family. Send Kinos Safaris the ages and heights of your children before booking so the team can confirm how each person will travel. Every adult who intends to drive must bring a valid driving licence.
What should your family bring?
Warm snowmobile gear is provided, but everyone should wear thermal base layers, insulating mid-layers and warm socks underneath. Pack any essential child items in a compact bag and keep phones or cameras warm between photo stops.
Tell the team about dietary requirements when booking because lunch soup and coffee are part of the programme. Advance notice gives Kinos Safaris the best opportunity to confirm suitable arrangements.
Why choose Kinos Safaris for Tonttula?
Kinos Safaris is the best choice in Levi for families who want to combine Tonttula with a professionally guided private snowmobile journey. You start from the Kinos Safaris office, receive the necessary gear and instructions, travel with your own group and enjoy a clearly structured village programme with lunch included.
With more than 20 years of local experience, the team understands how to turn a winter activity into a comfortable family day rather than simply moving guests from one attraction to another.
