When booking a snowmobile tour in Levi, there are two separate choices to make: whether you want a scheduled group safari or a private tour, and whether each adult will share a snowmobile or drive alone. Understanding both decisions helps you compare prices correctly and choose the experience that fits your group.
Kinos Safaris offers scheduled daily departures as well as private snowmobile experiences. Daily tours are the straightforward option for couples and individuals who are happy to join other guests. Private tours are reserved for your group and can offer more flexibility around the programme and departure time.
What is the difference between a group safari and a private tour?
A scheduled group safari follows the published daily programme. You meet at the stated time, receive warm driving gear and instructions, and follow the guide with other booked guests. It is sociable, easy to reserve and usually the simplest choice when only one or two people are travelling.
A private safari is exclusively for your group. Kinos Safaris offers published private routes as well as tailor-made programmes. Private departure times can often be adjusted by agreement, and activities such as ice fishing, a reindeer farm visit or a husky farm visit can be built into the experience.
Private tours have a minimum charge equivalent to four adults sharing snowmobiles. A couple can still request one, but should ask for the correct group price rather than multiplying the listed per-person rate by two.
Does “shared snowmobile” mean a shared tour?
No. “Shared snowmobile” means that two adults are booked on one snowmobile, with one adult driving and the other travelling as the passenger. “Single driving” means one adult has their own snowmobile.
These seating choices can be available on both scheduled and private tours. They affect the per-person price, but they do not determine whether other customers join the safari.
| Term | What it means | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled group safari | Your booking joins the published departure with other guests | Solo travellers, couples and small parties seeking a simple booking |
| Private safari | The guide and programme are reserved for your group | Families, friends, companies and groups wanting privacy or customisation |
| Shared snowmobile | Two adults travel on one machine | Couples and guests who do not both need their own snowmobile |
| Single driving | One adult drives one machine | Guests who want the maximum possible driving time |
How do the prices compare?
The scheduled Snowmobile Safari to a Lapp Tent lasts approximately 2.5 hours and covers around 25 kilometres. It costs €119 per adult sharing a snowmobile, €154 per adult driving alone and €84 per child under 12.
The same published price points apply to the private Traditional Lapp Tent Safari, but the minimum charge equivalent to four adults sharing snowmobiles must be considered. Other private tours have their own prices according to distance and programme. For example, the Private Kätkä Fell Snowmobile Safari costs €146 per adult sharing and €198 per adult driving alone, with a child price of €115.
Always request the full total for your group. A private programme may cost more overall, but it can deliver greater value when privacy, a specific route or a tailored combination matters more than the lowest per-person price.
Which option is best for first-time riders?
A scheduled beginner-friendly safari is usually the easiest introduction. The Snowmobile Safari to a Lapp Tent and Fast & Easy Snowmobile Safari are both designed for beginners as well as more experienced drivers.
A private safari can be the better choice when members of the group have different confidence levels or when you want the experience organised around your party. Private does not remove the driving licence requirement: every person who drives must bring a valid licence.
