It was a fun trip and our...
It was a fun trip and our guide was very nice, but it was not worth the price paid. Also, the ice floating suits had some issues with water getting in which was not ideal and also freezing! Had to dry our clothes after for a while with a hairdryer. Salmon was very good. We did not take the whole time that we booked (went back around 2pm instead of 4) and think even less time would have also been enough.

Lively experience
This was a lovely activity in which we experienced two things which were very nice. Ice fishing on its own was quite wow, but the ice floating is something else. I recommend that everyone who visit rovaniemi to do it. The tour guide Theo, a french guy spoke perfect English and was always helpful 🇫🇮❤️

Ice fishing and snow shoes
Malcom was our guide and safety is his number one priority. He explained the hazards of ice fishing, as well as the experience of it. Nobody in the group got even a bite, but it was interesting trying.
We also got to try snow shoeing. That was challenging, because the trail had become packed and the lack of snow.
Regardless, you can’t go wrong with Malcom as your guide.

Wonderful experience and guide Pepe
We had a great time. Although I don't think any of us caught anything, it was super fun. The clothes provided by this Enterprise are of good quality, both gloves and boots and overall. Thanks to it we were super warm despite the -10 degrees we had. Special mention to our guide of this Pepe excursion. Super professional, attentive to everything and personally very nice. The only catch is that one of the suits for the floating ice had a hole in one foot and one of my friends had to change it, but barring that an experience of 10

Full Package Arctic Day
This tour is a full package for getting a taste of all the snow related activities in Lapland. Our main guide Antonela was very friendly and so was Anders. We really felt that she personalized the experience for us and we didn’t realize how fast the time went by. Ice floating is a whole experience in itself and would definitely recommend to anyone if you are in Rovaniemi

Amazing Freezing Fun Activities
This is an amazing experience which we never had in the past. Although the day is freezing cold at -22 degree. We have a great fun and unforgettable memory on the activities.
Especially want to thanks our tour leader, Tina Hu from Taiwan. She is very friendly, responsive and helpful, managed our campfire bbq promptly and the sudden urgent return transport to cope with the departure PCR test as well. Excellent Service !!
Wide range of fun activities of choice, clean overall & boots provided, definitely recommend for everyone.

Amazing Finnish countryside with snow trekking, ice fishing and floating
We had an amazing day with a great guide Anna. We were picked up on time and after picking up our outfits were taken about 30 mins our of Rovaniemi to a frozen lake. We had a walk with snow shoes and then settled down to some ice fishing. No luck with the fish but we had a totally new experience drilling a hole in the ice and dropping a line and sitting there while we slowly got covered in snow. Then off for some soup, salmon and then reindeer sausages cooked over an open fire. We finished it up floating in the icy waters of the lake. Nothing was too much trouble for Anna and she did everytihng to make our day the memorable one that it will be for each of us. Thanks Anna you are a true asset to your business.
