Ice fishing, or as they say pilkki in Finland, is a popular national hobby. On this ice fishing adventure, you’ll head to Lake Äkäslompolo, located in the heart of the village. Once you arrive, you’ll put on snowshoes and search for the perfect fishing spot. After drilling holes in the ice, you’ll sit back and see which bait brings the best catch—grubs or worms. Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy a warm cup of hot berry juice.

Price: 55€ /adult, 38.50€ /child
You’ll take a short 20-minute drive to meet the reindeer, those adorable, half-wild creatures of the north. Once the reindeer are harnessed, you’ll settle into sleighs and wrap yourself in cozy blankets. The three-kilometre ride will take you through the pristine wilderness of Lapland, allowing you to soak in the magical tranquility of the forest.
After a half-hour ride, you’ll enjoy homemade berry juice by an open fire inside a traditional Lappish tepee, or kota, while hearing stories about the reindeer and their yearly cycle of life. You’ll also have the chance to take photos with your Arctic traveling companion
Duration: 2 hours 45 mins
Price: 177€ /adult, 123.90€ /child

we do not recommend that children under 6 months travel to Lapland. Please note that participation in safaris for children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years is weather dependent and will be up to the discretion of the local guides who will assess the safety of the activity at the time. If the infant cannot part-take in a safari, one adult will need to stay behind with them. Infants can still participate in the Santa activity day and visit Santa.
