What To Expect

During this trip you will also experience the arctic way of fishing. Try it with a local guide on a beautiful arctic lake or river. Introduction to ice fishing, drilling holes and moving on the ice. Tricks of fishing and attracting fishes under the ice. Also enjoy a light lunch prepared by open fire. Historians believe the origin of the snowshoe dates back to 2000 BC or 4000 BC. The invention of the snowshoe has been inspired by the animals like snowshoe hares who have oversized feet enabling them to move more quickly through deep snow. Snowshoes were an essential tool for fur traders and trappers to be able to get around areas inaccessible to motorized vehicles when the snow is deep. Today, snowshoes are mostly used by hikers and runners for recreation.

Our tour guide did not seem as coherent in the itinerary. He asked us what we wished to do a number of times, instead of having it planned out. We started off the tour with a good 30-40 minutes drive, only to fish for <10 minutes. Thereafter, we drove back 30 minutes to try on the snowshoes for 20 minutes. This lastly ended off with a 20 minutes grilling session. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this tour for the price and experience. You would be better off just renting the equipment and trying it yourself.
Great guide great time

Our guide was super friendly and we had a great time learning to fish. We didn't catch anything but that didn't make the trip any less exciting. The combination of snowshoeing and fishing is a great way to have a slower pace but still exciting visit to Lapland in winter. Would definitely recommend!
