Sámi Village & Snowmobiles from Murmansk
Husky sledding is not included in this version; the snowmobile activity replaces it, and huskies are met for encounters and photos only.
This one-day programme near Murmansk pairs a Sámi village visit with a snowmobile activity, replacing the dog sledding found in the related Sámi Culture and Husky Sledding tour. Over approximately five hours, guests hear stories by the fire in a chum, take part in Sámi games, feed reindeer, and meet the huskies for photos rather than a ride. Return transport from Murmansk and English-language accompaniment are included. The tour runs December to April, by arrangement, with a 30-minute snowmobile ride; driving arrangements are confirmed before booking.
Your tour programme
Sámi Village and Storytelling
The visit includes stories told by the fire inside a chum, along with Sámi games and warm outerwear provided for the time spent outdoors.
Reindeer and Huskies
Reindeer feeding is included, along with reindeer broth and herbal tea. When snow conditions allow — typically from early December onward — a 600-metre reindeer-sleigh ride is also included. Guests meet the huskies and can take photos with them, but husky sledding itself is not part of this programme; that activity belongs to the separate Sámi Culture and Husky Sledding tour.
Snowmobile Activity
Snowmobiling is the main activity-based element of the day, with equipment and a safety briefing included. Two guests share one snowmobile, and both participation and driving requirements are confirmed with the venue before booking. The snowmobile ride lasts 30 minutes.
Transport and Language
Return transport from Murmansk is included, along with English-language accompaniment for the group. The language used for activity instruction, such as the snowmobile safety briefing, is confirmed separately from the general English-language accompaniment — worth raising when booking if a specific language is needed for that part.

Meeting and preparation
Your meeting point
We confirm the meeting point and departure time for this programme before booking. Tell us where you are staying when you send your request.
Before you go
- Wear warm layers and insulated footwear, since this is a winter outdoor visit.
- Mention any dietary requirements and the ages of children in your party when booking, as these affect how the day is arranged.
- Decide in advance whether you want the optional full lunch, since it's an addition beyond the included reindeer broth and herbal tea.
- Confirm driving requirements and the snowmobile riding time with the team before your date is set, since both are arranged individually rather than fixed in the package.
- If you need the safety briefing or activity instruction in a specific language, flag it when requesting dates, since that's confirmed separately from the English-language accompaniment.
