Excellent fishing - Our guide was excellent, very professional and close. We did the fishing, lunch and reindeer tour. The overall experience was good. The fishing and lunch part was great. It makes it fun despite the cold (they offer a jumpsuit to put me on top of all the clothes). The reindeer part was quite brief, as it consists of feeding two reindeer for a short time. It is fine as a complement, but it is the shortest part of the excursion.

nice experience! - we stayed in inari and originally booked ice fishing tour with another company, but it was xancelled because there wasnt enough ice. last minute booked this tour with Tina, and paid extra fee for pick up from Inari to Ivalo. the sled trip over the frozen lake was impressive (but verrrrry cold), fishing took a lot of patience especially in the cold, the warm salmon soup we got at Tina's family tent was lovely. :)

Absolutely to do! - Highly recommended. We wanted to take the night tour to see the Northern Lights and had not booked. We wrote on WhatsApp to Tina the same morning and she proposed the fishing activity on the frozen lake because in the evening it would be cloudy and rainy and therefore they would not bring tourists. We left hesitant and instead it was a 'beautiful experience. Organized to perfection. Lapland sleigh ride on the river and frozen lake, fishing after cored ice (with related fish caught and after cooked and eaten), lunch in the family tepee in a friendly and kind environment and lots of joy and fun. The adorable reindeer and the wonderful family Lapland shepherd dog puppy made the experience even more unforgettable. Thank you Tina to you and your family. It was nice to meet you.

Lovely day tour from Ivalo - 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!

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!
