Introduction

Experience the tranquility of Lapland nature with the Ice Fishing Tour. This activity offers you the chance to immerse yourself in a traditional Finnish pastime while surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of a frozen lake outside Rovaniemi. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life as you explore the serene Arctic wilderness and learn the art of ice fishing.

What to expect?

During this tour, your guide will lead you away from the city to find the perfect peaceful spot. You'll embark on a short 5-10 minute walk through old arctic forests before reaching a vast open area covered in ice and snow. Once you've found a promising location, your guide will teach you how to drill a hole in the ice and demonstrate the basic techniques of ice fishing. It's then a matter of time and patience as you wait for the first bites. Take advantage of this serene moment to fully appreciate the silent wilderness surrounding you. Your guide will be there to assist you throughout the experience, providing help and warmth if needed. While you fish, they will prepare a crackling fire on the shores, where you can gather for a cozy break. Indulge in typical Finnish snacks and hot drinks while engaging in friendly conversation with your guide. They will happily answer any questions you may have about life in the Arctic and Lapland. If luck is on your side and you catch a fish of decent size, your guide will expertly prepare and cook it over the fire, adding it to the menu of the day. However, if the fish are too small, they will be returned to the ice unharmed.

We've not seen any fish but I was not expecting to catch something. We appreciated the surrounding, the small size of our group, all the tips and curiosities out guide (cannot remember the name, the Croatian guy) shared with us, this was the plus of this tour!

Barbs was an amazing tour guide, she made sure the children in the group had a great time! Lovely memories were made and it was an unforgettable experience.

This is fun little trip, but just a taster or introduction to Ice fishing so don't expect too much! its a 25 minute drive there and back, with a short trek from the vehicle to get out into the frozen lake. After drilling your hole in the ice and getting set up, there's approx. 1 hour to fish. Then you can warm up in the tepee and cook sausages over a log fire. Our Guide Emily was very friendly and helpful. Overall and fun morning and good experience.

I was with my 13 yrs old son on the ice fishing tour. It was not the ultimate fishing experience but more of a frozen lake drilling, sight seing and camping. Our guide was Guilla, very nice guy, informative, helpful and great host. We had a good time with a lot of nice pics and videos. Make sure to have solid winter gear, especially boots.

A very nice afternoon experience. Our guide was Barbara, she was friendly and easy going and she had a lot of patience with our kids. We didn't catch any fish, but it was fun to be on the lake and we had a great barbeque with sausages and mashmellows.

Ice Fishing was so much fun - although we didn't catch any fish... It was an amazing experience learning how to drill through the ice and sitting on a frozen lake in the arctic landscape, followed by a very nice barbecue.

We signed up for the ice fishing tour and thankfully had a free upgrade to snowshoeing + ice fishing! It was -20 degrees that day and we can’t imagine being out in the frozen lake fishing (and not moving) for hours! Snowshoeing took about 45mins and thereafter we went to a nearby lake. Our guide, Gabo, taught us how to drill a hole in the frozen ice and do fishing. He also demonstrated how to start a fire without a matchstick and cooked snacks / prepared hot drinks for us! Highly recommend and a must try Arctic adventure : )

We shared this experience with Theo and Melina, currently in internship. Quite an experience on the frozen lake, and in the middle of nature. Ice fishing is a moment for oneself, because after the explanations we are left alone in front of our hole and our fishing rod. A good time to think! Then snack and hot drink around the fire, and maybe Theo will teach you how to make a fire (clearly not easy to do!). Thank you for this activity, and this sharing of knowledge.
