ABOUT THIS TOUR

Your day begins with a transfer from your Rovaniemi hotel to a secluded location in the heart of the Lappish wilderness, near a traditional reindeer farm. Here, you'll be greeted by friendly reindeer and receive thorough instructions on how to participate in a reindeer safari.

Part 1: The Serene Reindeer Sleigh Ride (Approx. 40 minutes)

After getting comfortably settled in your sleigh and wrapped in warm blankets, your gentle reindeer adventure begins. Following the lead guide's sleigh in a peaceful "train" formation, you'll glide silently through the beautiful snow-covered Lapland forest. This approximately 40-minute ride is a truly serene experience, allowing you to absorb the tranquil winter scenery and the unique rhythm of the Arctic forest. It’s an authentic glimpse into the traditional Lappish way of life, where reindeer have been essential companions for centuries.

Part 2: Traditional Ice Fishing on Lake Sierijärvi

Following your reindeer safari, we'll continue our journey to the stunning Lake Sierijärvi, a pristine and secluded Arctic lake located just 20 minutes from Rovaniemi city center. This tranquil spot is known for its quiet ambiance and lack of neighboring properties, offering beautiful panoramic views and an ideal setting for ice fishing.

Your guide will provide all the necessary equipment and demonstrate the art of ice fishing, including how to drill your own hole in the thick ice. This is a truly authentic Lappish experience, connecting you directly with the raw beauty of the frozen wilderness. Try your luck at catching Arctic fish – whether it's perch or pike, the thrill of the catch (or even just the attempt!) is an unforgettable part of the adventure. The duration of the fishing experience is flexible, approximately 1 hour, adapting to the weather conditions to ensure your comfort.

Throughout the experience, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating stories about the local Finnish way of life, Arctic nature, and the rich history of Lapland, enriching your understanding of this unique region.
