Head into Lapland’s Arctic forest for guided ice fishing, a salmon BBQ, and ice floating in a survival suit. Your English-speaking guide provides transport, winter clothing, fishing gear, hot drinks, and help with every activity. Guides such as Albane, Luka, and Leah have been praised for their friendly help and photos.

“The guide and transport was great. The ice fishing with fake bait is more for fishing experience. Chances to catch a fish is low. The BBQ salmon & marshmallow was delicious.
