  • Great excursion

    We had a great trip today with many unforgettable moments. We were picked up directly from the hotel at 9 a.m. and first taken to a place where we could change so everyone would wear warm clothes. Afterwards we continued to the lake. From there, we drove on with a snowmobile and sled – a real highlight! It was especially nice that we made this trip with our 83-year-old grandmother. She has been very considerate and she has received help wherever she needed it. A big thank you for that! At the lake we received all the equipment for ice fishing and were able to start right away. Even though we unfortunately did not catch any fish, it was still a lot of fun. Afterwards we continued to an island where we had lunch in a tipi. There were hot sausages, soup and hot tea – just the thing in the cold. On the premises were also two reindeer that we were allowed to feed, which was particularly nice. Overall, it was an all-round carefree package with many great highlights. We were back at 3:00. Thank you for this wonderful trip – highly recommended!

  • The whole trip was very fulfilling and fun.

    Although we didn't catch any fish as expected, the whole trip was very fulfilling and fun. The tour guide and driver was very professional and responsible, and the food was delicious. It is recommended that you wear warm insoles when changing into the snowshoes provided by the tour guide. The temperature on the ice lake was extremely low. Even after wearing three layers of socks, my feet were still freezing.

    Riding the trench pulled by the snowmobile was extremely cold, even with all the equipment. Fishing consists of making a hole in the ice and “trying” to catch something. Without any prior preparation from the organizers. We weren't lucky and got nothing. We were 5 people. Local food - were supermarket sausages grilled, water heated with syrup from the supermarket bottle and a soup with frozen vegetables. Dirty tent (especially the stove in which the soup was made. We got stomach sick after this lunch. Quinta of the reindeer are three reindeer. One adult and two little ones. I don't think it's worth it, compared to all the other experiences we had this week in Saariselka and surroundings.

    Such a fun experience! Our guide, Miko, was amazing and so accommodating. It starts off by getting equipped with warm clothing and equipment, then getting driven to the lake which is like a 20 minute journey. Then you ride on the sleigh on the lake, such a cool yet cold experience (the wind) ! Then the fishing starts! He demonstrates how to make the hole and you take turns trying to make your fishing hole (he ends up making them when we’re all tired). Then he demonstrates how to fish and you spend 30 minutes trying to catch something - seems short but it’s a long time when it’s cold. Then you get transported back to an island where you get to be around a fire and get fed a 3 course meal which was delicious! And then you get to feed the reindeer and get sleighed back to the van and to get changed! Overall, worth the money and such a fun, unique experience! Just wear lots of layers.

    Lauri was exceptional. A great experience from putting on our winter gear, sledding across the lake, drilling through the ice, and having a delicious warm meal in a teepee. Thank you for a memorable day!

    My husband and I were looking for an ice fishing experience in a small group. We were a group of 5 with a very kind guide. He showed us reindeer on the lake. At the last moment my husband caught a fish. There wasn't enough time to grill it but, it was important to us, so our guide made time. Our trip was extended by an hour. We were very grateful!
