Venture into the Finnish wilderness on a sled ride and ice fishing excursion from Inari!

Inari is a charming village in Finnish Lapland, lying on the shores of Lake Inari, Finland's third largest lake. On this excursion, you'll embark on a snowmobile-pulled sled ride from Inari into its surrounding stunning wilderness area!

The sled ride and fishing excursion in Inari begins with pick-up from your chosen location in the village (please specify when booking). The experienced guide will drive you to their snug hut in the wilderness outside Inari. Upon arrival, you'll receive a safety briefing and get set up in the cosy sled. This vehicle has a glass roof, so you can enjoy the views of the nature you pass during the tour. It is also equipped with heating, padded seats, and safety belts for your comfort. The sled will be pulled by a powerful snowmobile, driven by the certified guide.

Then, you'll set off on your sled ride in Inari! The guide will drive at a slow and steady pace over the uneven, snowy terrain. Along the way, you'll have mesmerising views of Inari's magical winter wonderland, with a mix of dense trees and wide open spaces. You'll pass by an ancient boreal forest until you reach the beautiful Lake Muddus. Then, it's time for your traditional fishing experience in Inari! The local biologist guide will provide the equipment and instructions.

You'll start with authentic winter net fishing, learning how the pastime is carried out under the ice cover. If you like, you can also try ice fishing with a line and rod. The guide will drill a hole in the frozen surface of the lake to reach the abundant fish species below. Fishing in Finland is a popular way to relax and take in the tranquillity of nature. Afterwards, a delicious barbeque lunch and hot coffee or tea will be served around a roaring campfire. Then, you'll embark on the scenic return journey back to Inari village.
