About this experience
This tour allows you to experience Lapland nature at its best with two local activities combined - snowshoeing through the forests and ice-fishing on an immense frozen lake. On all our excursions, our groups are limited to 8 travellers maximum. It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. Also, concerning ice fishing, keeping our groups small allows our guests to fully experience the peaceful silence of Lapland nature. As we usually say - the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!

Very fun, relaxing, enjoyable morning
Very calm and enjoyable experience - Jana was a great guide, she tailored it to meet people’s abilities and was very patient. Ice fishing in theory is fun, but social teepee hangs with snags was pretty cool too! She did great timing the snow too :)

Amazing family adventure

A worthy Lapland experience
I am neither physically fit, nor adventurous so engaging in these Arctic outdoor activities made me nervous. My hubby made the right choice starting out with snowshoeing and ice fishing. We were very fortunate to meet Jordan. Jordan is clearly cut out for a guide in the wild Lapland. Despite being skilled and experienced, he was patient and kind. He gently guided me through the tour, paid attention to our well being throughout the morning, while also educating us about the Lapland. His knowledge of the land was evident and he clearly also has all that is needed to survive the wild Lapland. We also had Jac with us that day. She had an amazing personality, was extremely helpful, sincere and genuine. We almost had her come by with us last night to catch the Aurora and we were sad when she was deployed to a it her tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking your time to write this wonderful review! We are grateful for your kind words and positive experience you had with us! We would love to welcome you back again on our tours in the future. Greetings from Rovaniemi! Warm regards, Dominik Wild About Lapland

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rovaniemi.
How much does Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $136 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 Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 35 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 Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour?
+
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 Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour?
+
Around 12 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snowshoeing and Ice Fishing Tour 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.
