Embark on an enjoyable ice fishing excursion in Ivalo to experience the scenic winter landscapes of Finnish Lapland!

This trip departs from Ivalo, a charming village located in the Inari municipality in Finnish Lapland. The area surrounding Ivalo is home to pristine natural landscapes. On this ice fishing trip from Ivalo, you'll travel to a frozen lake in the wilderness.

To start your excursion, you can meet the guide directly at the departure point in Ivalo or be picked up from your accommodation in the village (please specify your location when booking). After being greeted by the friendly guide, you'll embark on a scenic drive in an electric car to the wilderness area outside of Ivalo. You'll arrive at the shores of a beautiful frozen lake and take a short walk to the ideal fishing spot. Then, you'll receive the high-quality fishing equipment and instructions. No previous experience is required for this excursion. After drilling a hole in the lake's icy surface, your fishing experience in Ivalo begins!

While you wait for a catch, you'll enjoy the tranquil environment and crisp fresh air. Fishing is almost like a form of meditation in Finland, providing a unique opportunity to switch off and connect with nature. During the activity, the guide will also share stories and insights about life in Finnish Lapland. The most common fish species found in these waters are perch and greylings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a delicious picnic around an open fire. At the end of the trip, you'll be driven back to your starting point in Ivalo.
