This tour allows you to experience Lapland nature at its best with two local activities combined - snowshoeing through the forests and ice-fishing on an immense frozen lake.
On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 travellers maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. Also, concerning ice fishing, keeping our groups small allows our guests to fully experience the peaceful silence of Lapland nature. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!
Standard
If you're staying in Rovaniemi city center, please walk to our office at Rovakatu 24 as we no longer provide city pick-ups, supporting sustainable tourism. Staying outside the city center?

Your guide will come to pick you up from your hotel between 5 and 30 minutes prior to departure. Your exact pick-up time will be confirmed by email at least one day prior to the activity. If you stay in hotels or resorts, please wait at the reception. If you stay in a private accommodation (ex: Airbnb), please wait outside on the street side so your guide can easily find you.

COVID-19 : Your safety is our priority! Because of the Covid-19, we have taken additional measures to limit the risks of contagion and similar risks during our tours. Now more than ever, it makes even more sense for us to keep our philosophy of small group tours and to refuse mass tourism.
In order to limit the risk of contagion, we kindly ask you to…
… inform us immediately if you suspect to be infected by, or presents symptoms of Covid-19
… dress properly with warm winter shoes/clothes, and use our overalls and boots only if necessary.
… bring your own hats, gloves and extra socks as unfortunately we can no longer provide them for hygienic reasons.
… bring a facemask with you as you may be required to wear one in certain situations (please note that you may be refused access if you do not have a mask when it is required to, e.g. if other guests in the group are elderly vulnerable, if social distancing is not possible, etc.)
… respect social distancing in all situations and use hand sanitizers to disinfect your hands
… use bathrooms of your hotel room/accommodation before joining our tour as access to our office toilets is temporarily limited for sanitary reasons
… understand that our guides are no longer able to take pictures with your phones/cameras, in order to preserve your safety and limit the spread of viruses
… forgive us for these restrictive sanitary measures. We are doing our best to offer you a great and safe arctic experience in Lapland, and will make sure that your holidays go smooth and memorable!
