This spot, free from bustling crowds, is our tranquil private hideaway enveloped by serene nature.

Upon making it to the lake, we’ll familiarise you with the rudimentary skills of ice fishing while spending a delightful afternoon fishing and snapping photographs. We’ll also establish a bonfire within a conventional Lappish Kota shelter, where we’ll relish some warm beverages and nibbles - and naturally, savour our freshly caught fish of the day!

Most fun and adventurous day! - Today we tried ice fishing with Oren, and honestly it's his positive energy and knowledge that made this trip 10000% more fun. It was too cold -26c but the tour was so safely designed even as a pregnant lady (25 weeks) it was perfect! We dug our hole and tried to fish, but unfortunately, we started feeling too cold, so we went into the traditional teepee tent and lit a fire and had some hot chocolate and sausages. This tour was super enjoyable, and what I loved the most was the amount of pictures Oren took! Highly recommended to go ice fishing with this company and do request Oren! You won't regret it.

Definitely a must! - Our guide, Emilia, really put effort in to our experience. Because of her knowledge we all caught some fish! The lake was so quiet and peacefull and sunshine topped our experience. Our guide was also so kind and gave us some tips to to see the northern lights by ourself and the best restaurants around.

Once in a life time experience - Our tour guide Emilia was wonderful. We had fun fishing so much! She picked us up/drop off at the hotel so we didn’t have to worry about transportation. Next time, we would like to try other tours. We recommend the tour 100%!

Amazing tour, highly recommended. - This is our second year with this company, and we did 7 tours with them between two years. Every single tour was interesting and fun in the different ways. My 8/9 years old loved the ice fishing. He said this is one of the best thing he ever done. It’s not only fun to fishing on ice, we also learnt so much about the locals life, culture and lots more. Oren and Anni ( our tour guiders) are both being amazing. Friendly, professional, informative and you can tell they are proud and interested at what they do. And they tell us so many interest facts, and they also go extra miles to make our tour even more fun. Of course, we got some fantastic pictures and videos from Oren. He is experts That’s just something cannot be done by ourselves. My boy already said he want to come back again soon.

Beyond Arctic, Highly Recommended - Booked Ice Fishing on a frozen lake with Beyond Arctic on 1/2/20. Kerttu was our fantastic guide. She showed how it is done in simple English, very easy to follow steps. She never showed herself to impress us (like other guides do-look what I can do). She also knows how to inject some humor in her instructions and even during regular conversations. The hot berry juice (provided) was soothing against the -8F weather and feels a lot colder during a wind chill. We did not caught any fish however we had a sausage bbq after in a teepee on a birch wood camp fire. And her humor continued until we got back to the office. She also took pictures of our fishing on the lake which is downloadable after a few days. BTW, she uses professional grade camera, she’s a pro. On our way back she even stopped so I can take pictures (iphone) of the reindeers along the road. She also gave us free tips on Aurora Borealis hunting. Download the app “Aurora” to give you guidance if you decide to hunt for yourself. We did but saw only a glimpse on 1/4/20 (17% chance the highest % we got during our 5 nights stay in Rovaniemi) in Kittila,150km north of Rovaniemi. Otherwise, I recommend her company, she’ll drive you as far as 100km just to chase them very illusive lights. Keywords-Aurora Borealis Hunter. There are other 2 companies in Rovaniemi that chases or hunt if you don’t want to use Beyond Arctic, according her. (too bad i forgot the names). She’ll tell you if you ask her. That’s how helpful and unselfish she is. Check her helpful blog on their company site and learn from a local aurora borealis hunter. Good luck with glass igloos or bus tours just outside Rovaniemi if you are serious about seeing the very illusive AB, specially now until about 2022, AB is on lean years. This experience we have, you can only get if you got a local born and breed guide who does these nature adventures for fun year round like Kerttu.
