3.Snowmobile Safari with Ice Fishing and Outdoor Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 195 reviews · 5 hours · from $221

Set out from central Levi for a five-hour snowmobile safari across snowy forest and frozen lakes. You share a two-person snowmobile, stop to drill an ice-fishing hole, then warm up in a kota or tent with hot drinks and soup cooked over an open fire. English-speaking guides such as Carlos, Javier, and Brent lead the outing.

“A snowmobile safari with ice fishing and an outdoor lunch offers the best and most traditional Levi experience. Driving the snowmobile over the frozen lake and through the forest is exhilarating while fishing on the lake is fascinating. However, nothing beats the campfire at the end where we cooked salmon soup and stood by the fire in a traditional Sami Kota (teepee) amidst the snowy forest at -30°C. Our friendly guides answered all our questions and made the experience truly memorable. I highly recommend it.”
