For decades, both played an important role in everyday life in Lapland. Still today, reindeer herding brings living to many locals and ice fishing remains amongst the popular leisure time activities - on this combination tour, you’ll get to try them both!

Under the guidance of real reindeer herders, you will learn about this traditional livelihood and experience a sleigh ride of 2.5 km (approximately 30-40 min).
Later, it’s time to head out on the frozen lake and try your luck at luring the fish. You’ll learn how to drill a hole in the ice and the correct ice fishing techniques.

 

Please note: Transfer to the reindeer farm takes approximately 25 minutes one way. Transfer from the Arctic Circle Wilderness Resort and Apukka Resort available from 1.12.2022 onwards with an extra fee (25 € per person), Rovaniemi city center and Santa Claus Village pick-up included in the rate.
