Finnish hospitality - Great experience with Tapio, our guide. He explained how to fish and gave us information about history and geography regarding the wonderful scenario around. We enjoyed a very traditional lunch in a typical teepee, having also the opportunity to see and feed the reindeers in the farm.

A daydream - Sleigh ride to discover, breathtaking landscapes. A very fun attempt at ice fishing, we didn't do anything wrong but it was a great time all the same. We continued the morning with a typical meal by the fire. To end this safari we were able to feed the reindeer. A magnificent morning discovering Lake Inari. Thank you to this family for this waking dream.

Great Trip to the lake - it was a really great trip on the lake. the fishing was fun even though we didn't catch anything. The silence on the lake unbelievable. Luckily the clothes were very warm and the -18 degrees weren't a problem. Afterwards we had lunch at the camp fire in the tipi tent. You could warm up with warm berry juice and delicious food. the soup was really tasty. We would definitely do the tour again

Absolutely Wonderful and Magic!!! - An amazing experience. Running with snowmobile on the Inari Frozen Lake in a total safe condition is wonderful. Incredible landscapes. The fishing experience beautiful and the lunch in a Sami Tent warm and delicious. All the organization with hotel pick up, warm clothes, info given by the guide was perfect. I truly appreciated every single minute of the experience. I truly suggest everyone to try it!!

Excellent company to go fishing in the ice - Going with a small group of people was excellent, the company is a very nice local familiar, the food was quite good and the fisherman was very kind with us. We strongly recommend this company. We were not lucky fishing, however. Anyway, we would love to go back!

Unforgettable Experience - My husband and I had booked the ice fishing tour with Ivalo Safaris and we had the best time of our lives. We were picked up from our accommodation and then driven to the Ivalo Safari office. There we were given warm overall, snow boots, gloves and helmets, to prepare us for the sledge ride. This was followed by a short drive to Lake Inari from where we were taken into the frozen lake for the activity. Our guide Arto was super helpful and fun. He taught us how to drill a hole in the frozen lake, set a bait and wait to catch a fish. After fishing for a while, Arto took us back to a Teepee where he had prepared a scrumptious lunch over the fire. We ate delicious smoked reindeer soup, bread, sausages and cake! Arto also took us to their farm to meet reindeers and feed them lichen. Overall it was a wonderful experience and Arto was extremely accommodating of all requirements. We would strongly recommend this activity to anyone and everyone who wants to experience the Lappish wilderness in the midst of serenity and tranquility. It's also a great way to learn a lot about the popular Finnish activity of ice fishing. Don't forget to book it through Ivalo Safari and do ask for Arto!

ICE FISHING - I had a wonderful experience my first time Ice fishing at Ivalo River Camping. The guide took me and a group of travelers to lake Inari where I learned how to carve holes into the Ice as well as enjoy the pure nature of the Laplands. I would reccomend this tour for other travelers that are looking for a unique experience that they will not see every day.

Scenic fishing - My wife and I decided to go icefishing during our trip and it was a pleasant experience. Tina took us, along with three others, by snowmobile to a scenic part of the lake where we drilled our holes and dropped our lines. We probably fished for around 1.5 hours and the group caught a total of two fish. We then went back to a teepee on Tina’s island where we are a reindeer and potatoes soup and sausage. One person on our tour was vegetarian so they accommodated him with a different type of soup. There were also a couple of reindeer there that we were able to feed. It was a lot of fun and I’m happy we actually caught some fish!
