Fishing · SAARISELKA FISHING TRIPS
Every trip has one spare morning. These 4 saariselka fishing trips justify it, priced and timed so you can decide over breakfast and still make the boat.
Spend six hours in Saariselka’s Arctic wilderness with guide Christina or another English-speaking guide. Snowshoe through powder, drill a fishing hole, try for local fish, then warm up with grilled food, drinks, and a light lunch by an open fire.
“We really enjoyed our tour with Christina and had a lovely time snowshoeing, barbecuing and trying to fish. The landscape was amazing.”
Meet at Lapponia Tours Safari House, suit up in thermal gear, then ride a snowmobile or sleigh through snowy forests and open fells to a frozen lake. Guide Anni has led this outing, which combines ice-fishing instruction, quiet lake time, and a campfire picnic.
Safartica takes you from Saariselkä to a local lake for a 2.5-hour ice fishing lesson. Your English-speaking guide, such as David or Bazil, supplies warm clothing, gear, bait, hot drinks, and a patient introduction to this quiet Finnish pastime.
“Everything was absolutely perfect,an amazing experience,only thing that could have made it better was if we caught a fish haha,the other family in our group caught three though so we shared their excitement!”
Set out from Saariselkä with an English-speaking guide such as Max or Miko, collect thermal clothing, then ride a snowmobile-pulled sled to frozen Lake Inari. Try ice fishing, warm up beside a campfire with lunch, and feed reindeer before returning.
“Such a fun experience! Our guide, Miko, was amazing and so accommodating. It starts off by getting equipped with warm clothing and equipment, then getting driven to the lake which is like a 20 minute journey. Then you ride on the sleigh on the lake, such a cool yet cold experience (the wind) ! Then the fishing starts! He demonstrates how to make the hole and you take turns trying to make your fishing hole (he ends up making them when we’re all tired). Then he demonstrates how to fish and you spend 30 minutes trying to catch something - seems short but it’s a long time when it’s cold.…”
Pick a coast, a lake, or a hole in the ice.
