Tour

Arctic Ice Fishing by Snowshoe

4 hours

Easy

Experience this drive north past the Arctic Circle (20-30mins away). One of our guides will help you strap in your snowshoes and show you the skills to face heavy snow. From there you'll be travelling on foot through the virgin forest to the destination: the frozen lake. Our guide will teach you how to catch fish and drill a hole into the ice with our special tools and local techniques. While you're enjoying ice fishing, our guide will light a campfire and prepare a Lappish light lunch. Although grilling the fish caught from the lake is possible, many decide to catch and release.

For children too young to wear snowshoes, sleds (toboggans) will be provided.

Note: The pick-up time may little bit different depending on your pick-up location, so please kindly check the email we send to you after reservations for the exact pick-up information.
