If you are looking for a thrilling adventure into the snowy landscapes of Finnish Lapland, this ice fishing excursion by snowmobile from Rovaniemi is perfect for you! Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, and it is known as the "official" hometown of Santa Claus. This wonderful Arctic place is perfect for experiencing the magic of winter sports, with diverse experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and much more.
On the day of your ice fishing excursion by snowmobile from Rovaniemi, you'll have the opportunity to be picked up by your instructor within a 10-kilometre radius of Rovaniemi's city centre. You can also arrive by yourself at the StayLapland headquarters. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will distribute the thermal overalls, snow boots, beanies, mittens and other winter apparel necessary to stay safe during the experience. You'll then be transported to the starting point of the adventure.
The instructor will distribute the snowmobiles and teach you how to drive or ride them, clarifying safety protocols to follow in order to have a great time. You'll ride around for about an hour until you find the perfect fishing spot. There, your instructor will explain how ice fishing works and distribute the ice drills, fishing poles, lines, and lures. You'll spend approximately 2 hours out in the Lappish wilderness, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and fishing for Pike, perch or whitefish, before returning to the starting point of the experience on the snowmobile.
Keep in mind that the temperatures in the Arctic can go from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, so bringing very small children on this activity might not be the best idea. Additionally, all snowmobile drivers must be over 18 years old and have a valid driver's license. With that in mind, you should come prepared with thermal or wool underlayers, as well as extra warm layers to wear under the suit, and your driver's license, as well as anything else you may need (medication, extra snacks, sunglasses, etc.) to spend a safe and fun 5 hours on this ice fishing excursion by snowmobile from Rovaniemi!
