Ice fishing is a truly unique experience—something many people never expect to try. That’s exactly why we designed this tour: to give you the chance to enjoy ice fishing the authentic Finnish way!

Step into the magical Arctic night and discover one of Lapland’s oldest winter traditions: evening burbot ice fishing. This 4-hour experience takes place at our private basecamp on Lake Niesikivalo, reached by a scenic drive and a short snowmobile sleigh transfer. Burbot — made in Finnish — becomes most active in midwinter evenings, and local fishermen have long headed onto the ice at dusk with simple rods, bait, and patience. Your guide will share the stories and techniques of this northern tradition before helping you drill your fishing holes. You can fish outdoors under the starry Arctic sky or inside a heated Lappish tepee set directly on the frozen lake, illuminated by the warm glow of a campfire. Hot drinks and light snacks are provided throughout the evening to keep you comfortable. With no light pollution and wide-open views, Niesikivalo offers excellent chances to see the Northern Lights dancing. This tour delivers an authentic, atmospheric Arctic moment you will never forget

We will also set up a campfire in traditional Lappish Teepee and enjoy some hot drinks and snacks – and of course fry our catch of the day!
