Ice Fishing Lapland Experience from Rovaniemi

Among all the tours I’ve had in Rovaniemi over the past few days, this one was my favorite. Unfortunately, the snow on the lake today wasn’t thick enough and wasn’t safe to walk on, so we tried our luck fishing from a small jetty near the shore. Too bad we didn’t catch anything. But! Diana, our tour guide, cooked us the best BBQ salmon ever – even better than the one in Santa Claus Village 😋. We also took a walk in the wilderness and learned a few things about the Sami cup and the tree from which it’s made, which was really interesting. A big thank you to our guide Diana M, Gilles, and Eva – I had a blast ❤️.

This trip will be fishing on a frozen lake and experiencing ice cutting, but I didn’t hear much about the knowledge or tradition of ice fishing in Lapland. I don’t know if there is a chance to catch fish. It may be too cold and there is not much for everyone. With our minds on fishing, we all ran to the fire to keep warm. Then the tour guide would prepare grilled salmon, gingerbread, marshmallows, brown bread and blueberry juice. Unfortunately, the blueberry juice was not hot enough, but the salmon was delicious. Finally, the tour guide took us for a walk in the forest. , introducing some forest trees, which is very interesting, but it is really too cold. When ordering the itinerary, there was a note in the information column that jumpsuits, gloves and shoes would be provided, but no one asked us if we needed them. This is the reason why we gave half a star less. The other half star is because we didn't hear more ice. Introduction to fishing and information on how to actually catch fish.

Jack was a great guide! It was a wonderful experience.

It took us like 20 mins to drill a hole, and success rate of catching a fish is like once in a month. But, it's still worth it. Julia is really a good guide - approachable and helped me take a lot of photos and videos.

Fun experience, I got no luck on fishing but the BBQ salmon was good

My first fish in Lappi!!!! It was a wonderful experience to fish on the lake. Though that was the only fish I got, the trip was still worth to try.

I enjoyed the ice fishing experience. We tried to make the fishing hole on the ice and it was really fun! Lunch and a little forest walk were included. It added a lot of value to the tour. Although our guide Vienna was not very experienced, she did try her best to do it.

The guides took care of us well and we got to spend sometime on the frozen lake to do ice fishing! The salmon at the end of the trip was super tasty!

🤣Super last-minute reservation, but not enough people to form a group. The travel company is also very responsible. WhatsApp immediately informed and refunded

mixed. the check in was chaotic. I almost missed the tour even though i was already sitting there 15 mins before the tour. The guide mixed up the names and though i was already checked in. Fortunately i asked. The ice fishing appeared as an experience rather than real fishing. But the salmon offered was truly a delicacy.
