Kemi: Ice Fishing Safari with Snowmobiles

The adventure begins as you meet your professional guide, who will provide warm thermal clothing, helmets, and safety instructions before introducing you to your snowmobile. After a short driving lesson, you’ll set off across the snowy trails, gliding past forests, frozen lakes, and open landscapes that stretch endlessly under the winter sky. Riding a snowmobile in Lapland is a thrilling experience, and yet it allows you to feel closely connected with the natural surroundings.

Your destination is a remote frozen lake, far away from the city and surrounded by the silence of the Arctic wilderness. Upon arrival, your guide will show you how to prepare a hole in the thick ice using traditional equipment. With your fishing line and bait, you’ll learn the techniques of ice fishing — a practice that has sustained people in Lapland for generations. The experience is both meditative and exciting, as you wait for perch, pike, or other freshwater fish to bite.

While waiting, you’ll warm up around a small campfire or shelter. Your guide will serve hot drinks and traditional Finnish snacks, and if luck is on your side, you might even grill your own catch over the fire. This moment is as much about enjoying the peaceful setting as it is about fishing, with the stillness of the frozen lake and the crisp Arctic air creating a truly magical atmosphere.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share insights into Lapland’s traditions, wildlife, and the importance of ice fishing to the local culture. Whether you’re an experienced angler or completely new to fishing, this activity is easy to learn and accessible to all. After the fishing session, you’ll hop back onto your snowmobile and ride back through the snowy landscapes, ending your adventure with the same thrill it began.

This safari perfectly balances adrenaline and serenity: the fast-paced fun of snowmobiling with the mindful calm of ice fishing. It’s an ideal way to immerse yourself in Arctic life while enjoying two authentic and unforgettable Lapland experiences in one.
