Our expert guides will teach you authentic Lappish ice fishing techniques, which include: • Ice Drilling (“kairaaminen”) • Traditional Ice Fishing (“pilkkiminen”) • Under-Ice Net Fishing (“juomustus”) • Fish Preparation Demonstration • Making Delicious Fish Soup After reeling in our catch, we'll gather around a crackling fire in a traditional Lappish Kota and prepare the freshest fish you've ever tasted.

Ice fishin in lappish nature

Published on Feb, 2023

We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Sonja. The organisation was really good and we have been picked up at our accomodation. On the lake, we had the chance to experience the beautiful lappish nature with all its facets. To end this beautiful morning, we had a fresh fish soup with a desert cooked over opne fire which was delicious! We would definitly do this again!

Amazing trip with Xwander, would recommend them to anyone visiting Ivalo/Inari!

Published on Jan, 2023

We did two activities in Inari and both were perfect! The first one was the ice fishing experience with our guide Juhanni, and the second one was Inari Day with Ossi. Both Juhanni and Ossi are remarkable, great cook and are super super informative and helpful. I still remember the amazing fish soup and Juhanni made and reindeer stew that Ossi made for us. We experienced some issue during our ice fishing day (the net was stuck in the ice and we couldn't pull it to get the fish out), but Juhanni tried his best and finally after some trial and error, we managed to get 3 fishes from the broken net!
