Ice Fishing Tour
Overview
This Ice Fishing Trip will offer you a great chance to catch your breath in the silence of Lapland nature while experiencing a traditional activity that many locals like to practice.
Our Ice Fishing Trip will take you to a frozen lake outside Rovaniemi. The place we choose for ice fishing not only offers a good chance to catch something but we also help restore ones tranquility and peace of mind. Many locals still practice this activity during the winter to catch food for themselves or their dogs and to enjoy the relaxing serenity of Lapland nature.
On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 travelers maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!

What To Expect
Your guide will drive you away from Rovaniemi to find the perfect peaceful place. You may have a short 5-10 minute walk through the old arctic forests before you finally reach that immense open area made of ice and snow. Once you have found a promising spot, your guide will show you how to drill your hole in the ice and teach you the basic techniques of how to ice-fish. Then, it is just a matter of time and patience before you can feel the first bites! This is just the perfect moment to appreciate the silent wilderness spreading all around you.
Your guide will always be there to assist you, in case you would need help or feel cold. While you will be fishing, they will chop wood and prepare a fire on the shores for you. Some typical Finnish snacks and hot drinks will be served around the fire. This offers a convivial opportunity for your guide to answer all your questions about life in the Arctic and Lapland in general. If you manage to catch a fish (of a decent size), your guide will happily prepare it, cook it straight over the fire and add it to the menu of the day! If the fish are undersized, we will quickly return them to the ice without unnecessarily harming them.
