Raitola

Reindeer Safari To Ice-Fishing Lake

Try some ice-fishing yourself and catch the fish of the day!

Safari overview

This reindeer and ice-fishing safari in Rovaniemi offers you an insight on how the real traditional life in Lapland used to be when you travel through the silent snow covered surroundings of Lapland in a traditional reindeer pulled sleigh to a frozen wilderness lake. Our guide will teach you how to drill a hole in the ice of the frozen lake and prepare the ice fishing rod and baits. Try some ice-fishing yourself to catch the fish of the day.

Ice-fishing is one of the most favourite hobbies of Finnish people. Did you know that ice-fishing belongs to every-men’s right here in Finland? Small Lappish campfire with sausages will highlight the day outdoors before returning by reindeer sleigh to the reindeer farm.
