Set out into the wilderness of Finnish Lapland on an unforgettable ice fishing safari at Lake Inari from Ivalo, which includes transfers, a reindeer experience, and lunch! Welcoming adventurers ages 5 and up.

Lake Inari is located in Northern Finland and covers 1,102 square kilometres (425 square miles), making it the largest lake in Finnish Lapland. It is not only a scenic and ecologically significant body of water but also a cultural and recreational hub for those who appreciate the unique environment of northern Lapland. What better way to immerse yourself in the winter wonderland of Finland than by trying the beloved local pastime of ice fishing?

Your adventure begins after being picked up from one of the listed meeting points in Ivalo (please specify when booking). You'll board the scenic transfer to the base camp, where you and your group (a maximum of 8 people) will put on your winter gear, including thermal overalls, boots, and a balaclava. Next, you'll travel to the small village of Koppelo. There, your guide will provide a safety and itinerary briefing.

Now, the fun starts! You'll be seated on a sled covered by warm reindeer pelts pulled by your guide's snowmobile, traversing the frozen and breathtakingly beautiful Lake Inari. Upon arrival at a secret ice-fishing spot, your guide will provide you with fishing equipment and bait. In addition, they are happy to share ice-fishing techniques and stories. Then, you'll travel to Aurora Island where you'll meet the adorable reindeer and have a chance to feed them.

A delicious lunch will be served around a roaring campfire, followed by hot drinks. (Vegetarian options are available, please specify when booking.) The perfect way to finish such an amazing day outdoors! You'll return to the original departure point in Ivalo with memories that will last a lifetime, and, perhaps, a newfound love for ice-fishing.
