Ice Fishing Like a Finn
About
Experience the traditional Finnish pastime of ice fishing, a relaxing activity perfect for the whole family. Settle onto a warm reindeer hide as your guide expertly drills a hole in the thick ice. You'll then try your luck at catching perch or other freshwater fish while enjoying a warm drink by a cozy campfire. Imagine sitting on a frozen lake, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Arctic landscape. If the fishing gods are on your side, your guide can even prepare your catch into a tasty snack right on the spot.
