    It was a fun trip and our...

    It was a fun trip and our guide was very nice, but it was not worth the price paid. Also, the ice floating suits had some issues with water getting in which was not ideal and also freezing! Had to dry our clothes after for a while with a hairdryer. Salmon was very good. We did not take the whole time that we booked (went back around 2pm instead of 4) and think even less time would have also been enough.

    Lively experience

    This was a lovely activity in which we experienced two things which were very nice. Ice fishing on its own was quite wow, but the ice floating is something else. I recommend that everyone who visit rovaniemi to do it. The tour guide Theo, a french guy spoke perfect English and was always helpful 🇫🇮❤️

    The Best excursion

    I highly recommend Jordi & Inga, they are so friendly and professional. They made our Finland tour unforgetable.

    Ice fishing and snow shoes

    Malcom was our guide and safety is his number one priority. He explained the hazards of ice fishing, as well as the experience of it. Nobody in the group got even a bite, but it was interesting trying. We also got to try snow shoeing. That was challenging, because the trail had become packed and the lack of snow. Regardless, you can’t go wrong with Malcom as your guide.

    Full Package Arctic Day

    This tour is a full package for getting a taste of all the snow related activities in Lapland. Our main guide Antonela was very friendly and so was Anders. We really felt that she personalized the experience for us and we didn’t realize how fast the time went by. Ice floating is a whole experience in itself and would definitely recommend to anyone if you are in Rovaniemi

    Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.

    How much does Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating cost?

    +

    Prices start at $219 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rovaniemi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rovaniemi is not rushed.

    Is Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rovaniemi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rovaniemi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rovaniemi and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Arctic Day with Ice Fishing and Floating start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rovaniemi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rovaniemi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rovaniemi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Northern Lights Rovaniemi: Guaranteed Viewing & Unlimited Mileage, Rovaniemi: Korouoma Canyon & Frozen Waterfalls Tour with BBQ, Rovaniemi:%100 Guaranteed Northern Lights Hunt&Free Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rovaniemi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rovaniemi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
