Great local experience

Rik_L, Mar 2026

Lovely experience - hotel pick up, snow mobiling, ice finishing, creating a fire, feeding reindeers and the bbq at the end. Janne was also an excellent

Must try!

Daniil_L, Feb 2026

It was an amazing experience. Perfect place for sledges and ice fishing. The lunch was a gastronomical masterpiece and the cute reindeers at the end made this trip fully completed. 12/10 Thank you!

Lovely day tour from Ivalo

Rachal_R, Nov 2025

This was a really lovely tour - snowmobile sled ride, ice fishing experience, reindeer visit, and delicious lunch. The guides were very friendly and it was nice to borrow extra layer of warm clothes as it was chilly out on the frozen lake. Highly recommend this tour!

Ice fishing experience on a giant frozen lake

Sebastian_H, Feb 2025

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.

Super souvenir

Super expérience, tenue grand froid fournie, très accueillant, super moment ! Repas chez les propriétaires après l’activité : une soupe incroyablement bonne et un dessert super bon. Super bon moment malgré le froid (-25)
