• Rovaniemi - Driving northbound (20-30mins) into the Arctic Circle is where the adventure begins as your guide helps you strap in your snowshoes and shows you the skills and way over the heavy snow. From then on traveling will be by foot, traversing through virgin forest to the frozen lake destination. Learn how to ice fish by learning how to drill your fishing hole with your guide. Learn how to use other special tools, and learn some local techniques on how to catch fish. As you enjoy the peace of ice fishing, your guide will turn back to the bank of the forest to start a fire and later a light lunch of smoked salmon. Grilling your catch from the lake is also possible although many opt for catch and release.

Embark on an expedition into the Arctic Circle, venturing northwards for 20-30 minutes, where your guide will assist you in strapping on your snowshoes and instruct you on navigating through dense snow. The journey then continues on foot, navigating woodland untouched by humans, eventually leading to our frozen lake destination. Here, your guide will introduce you to ice fishing, teaching you how to create your fishing hole using a drill. You’ll also gain familiarity with other specific tools and pick up local fishing tricks. While you engage in peaceful ice fishing, your guide will make a fire in the nearby forest area and prepare a light smoked salmon lunch. You have the option to grill your freshly caught fish, although many prefer the catch and release strategy.
