Embark on a wonderful adventure in the stunning Arctic landscapes of Finnish Lapland on this ice fishing excursion on Lake Kuoksa from Rovaniemi! Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, located in the northern part of the country. Known as the "official" hometown of Santa Claus, this place is perfect to experience the magic of the Arctic, with diverse winter experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, and much more. This is the perfect destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the snow.
On the day of your ice fishing excursion 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.
When you arrive at Lake Kuoksa, it's time to start! You'll find the perfect spot on the lake and your instructor will distribute the ice augers, fishing rods, likes, and lures, before explaining exactly how ice fishing works and giving you useful tips and tricks to make a catch. You'll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Finnish Lapland as you wait for the perch, pike, or whitefish to bite. And when you need to warm up, you'll enjoy some delicious sausages, cookies and warm berry juice by the fire. If you catch a fish, you can decide what to do with it, whether to grill it on-site, take it home, or return it to the water.
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.
