Excellent tour with an excellent guide - We loved this tour! While we did not catch any fish (which is common), we had a wonderful experience being on a frozen lake, manually drilling holes in the ice, and trying to fish with a tiny rod! The included campfire, sausage and hot drink were a bonus! Our guide Matu made the tour very educational and entertaining by sharing his experiences and information about the region.

Great Fun Experience - The Ice Fishing trip was an experience - there were just the 4 of us in our group which was perfect. It was hard work drilling through the 1 meter thick ice but reassuring to know how thick it was! Then it's a case of sitting there and hoping. The other 2 people in our group did catch something but 'they got away'. It was great fun and I'm glad we did it.

I have never fished... - I have never fished before but that didn’t matter because they explain exactly what to do. The process of drilling into the ice was so fun. We didn’t catch anything but that didn’t affect my experience at all. It was so fun to sit in the middle of a frozen lake. when you are finished there is a teepee with a fire and sausages waiting for you. Sitting in the teepee around the fire was equally as fun as fishing.

Ice fishing on frozen Jyrhämäjärvi lake - Just experienced the ultimate winter wonderland adventure! Our family of four went ice fishing on frozen Jyrhämäjärvi lake, and had the entire lake to ourselves! Huge thanks to our amazing guide Eneko, who taught us how to ice fish, start a fire with flint and steel, and even BBQ sausages in a cozy teepee tent! This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Nice Experience - We've not seen any fish but I was not expecting to catch something. We appreciated the surrounding, the small size of our group, all the tips and curiosities out guide (cannot remember the name, the Croatian guy) shared with us, this was the plus of this tour!

Ice Fishing - This is fun little trip, but just a taster or introduction to Ice fishing so don't expect too much! its a 25 minute drive there and back, with a short trek from the vehicle to get out into the frozen lake. After drilling your hole in the ice and getting set up, there's approx. 1 hour to fish. Then you can warm up in the tepee and cook sausages over a log fire. Our Guide Emily was very friendly and helpful. Overall and fun morning and good experience.

Ice fishing - Our guide was really knowledgeable and very friendly. She explained the afternoon activities very well and we had a nice time. I think perhaps the location and shallow part of the lake we fished wasn’t ideal.
