Ice fishin in lappish nature - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Sonja. The organisation was really good and we have been picked up at our accomodation. On the lake, we had the chance to experience the beautiful lappish nature with all its facets. To end this beautiful morning, we had a fresh fish soup with a desert cooked over opne fire which was delicious! We would definitly do this again!

Amazing trip with Xwander, would recommend them to anyone visiting Ivalo/Inari! - We did two activities in Inari and both were perfect! The first one was the ice fishing experience with our guide Juhanni, and the second one was Inari Day with Ossi. Both Juhanni and Ossi are remarkable, great cook and are super super informative and helpful. I still remember the amazing fish soup and Juhanni made and reindeer stew that Ossi made for us. We experienced some issue during our ice fishing day (the net was stuck in the ice and we couldn't pull it to get the fish out), but Juhanni tried his best and finally after some trial and error, we managed to get 3 fishes from the broken net!
