Excellent activity! - Ice fishing was a new experience but very friendly! Accompanied by a great guide, Laura, we dug holes in the ice and managed to catch a fish! The appointment under the tepee afterwards and the reindeer visit was really exotic. I can only recommend!

Ice fishing experience on a giant frozen lake - We had a great experience with Tina, Tappio and Maksim who all took good care of us throughout the tour. Warm clothing was provided at their offices, picks ups and drop offs were seamless, and the ice fishing on the frozen lake and lunch experience in a traditional Finnish tent with reindeer feeding was also fantastic. We will never forget the time on the Arctic Circle, totally calm and unique.

once-in-a-lifetime-experience - It was great. At sunrise on the lake, snow as far as the eye can see. Wonderful view. And the soup was a treat!

Snowmobile Safari on Lake Inari for ice fishing - Excellent organization of the safari. We were postponed the initial day of the safari as it was very cold (-31 ) and would not be ideal conditions to enjoy the experience. The next day with more “normal” temperatures we could do it without problems. They provided us with thermal clothing and shoes. Excellent guide

Finnish hospitality - Great experience with Tapio, our guide. He explained how to fish and gave us information about history and geography regarding the wonderful scenario around. We enjoyed a very traditional lunch in a typical teepee, having also the opportunity to see and feed the reindeers in the farm.

A daydream - Sleigh ride to discover, breathtaking landscapes. A very fun attempt at ice fishing, we didn't do anything wrong but it was a great time all the same. We continued the morning with a typical meal by the fire. To end this safari we were able to feed the reindeer. A magnificent morning discovering Lake Inari. Thank you to this family for this waking dream.

Great Trip to the lake - it was a really great trip on the lake. the fishing was fun even though we didn't catch anything. The silence on the lake unbelievable. Luckily the clothes were very warm and the -18 degrees weren't a problem. Afterwards we had lunch at the camp fire in the tipi tent. You could warm up with warm berry juice and delicious food. the soup was really tasty. We would definitely do the tour again

Absolutely Wonderful and Magic!!! - An amazing experience. Running with snowmobile on the Inari Frozen Lake in a total safe condition is wonderful. Incredible landscapes. The fishing experience beautiful and the lunch in a Sami Tent warm and delicious. All the organization with hotel pick up, warm clothes, info given by the guide was perfect. I truly appreciated every single minute of the experience. I truly suggest everyone to try it!!

Scenic fishing - My wife and I decided to go icefishing during our trip and it was a pleasant experience. Tina took us, along with three others, by snowmobile to a scenic part of the lake where we drilled our holes and dropped our lines. We probably fished for around 1.5 hours and the group caught a total of two fish. We then went back to a teepee on Tina’s island where we are a reindeer and potatoes soup and sausage. One person on our tour was vegetarian so they accommodated him with a different type of soup. There were also a couple of reindeer there that we were able to feed. It was a lot of fun and I’m happy we actually caught some fish!
