Ice fishing has been part of local culture in the Far North for centuries. Traditionally it was one of the rare ways to get food in wintertime when the conditions are the roughest. Nowadays, many Finnish people still enjoy sitting on a frozen lake for hours to try to catch their lunch and relax. So, don't you want to try?
After being collected from your hotel, your guide will drive you to some good fishing spots outside Rovaniemi. No need to drive far when you know where to go!
You will be shown the basics of ice-fishing, how to drill your hole in the ice, and the different techniques to catch a fish. If you are lucky and get a good catch, your guide will even show you how to prepare it.
This tour offers a nice local experience to enjoy the silence and peacefulness of Lapland nature farther away from Rovaniemi city. The fishing time is approximately 1h30-2h00. Typical Finnish snacks and hot drinks are served around an open fire. If you catch a fish of a decent size, your guide can prepare it and add it to the menu!We offer this experience, mostly in the first part of winter (until mid-December). For later periods, we recommend our Full Arctic Adventure (available in private or for families too) or our Panoramic Sauna & ice-fishing experience.
