Features are marked from the text of the listings and the operators’ own pages. A missing mark means the listing does not mention it, not that it is left out. Duration groups use the midpoint of the stated range (a 3–4 hour tour counts as 3.5 hours): up to 3 hours, over 3 and up to 5, over 5 and up to 7, over 7 hours, and tours of several days. Season comes from the operator’s own availability calendar in Visit Finland DataHub, or from a season stated on the operator’s own page. The snow season means the months when snow covers the ground on at least half the days at the weather station used on this site. A tour without a season simply does not state one. Filters are offered only for features that the listings state for at least 70 % of the tours and at least 50 % of the tours from each source, so a feature can be marked on a tour without being offered as a filter. One more tour in our data is not listed here because it has no working booking link yet.

What is included
| Item | Stated in the listing | Not stated |
|---|---|---|
| Winter clothing | 11 included 0 not included or on request | 13 of 24 |
| Hotel pickup | 8 included 0 available / pickup points 0 not included | 16 of 24 |
Not stated = not found in the collected listing text (on GetYourGuide, the start of the "included" list), so a listing can say more than we found. Hotel pickup "available / pickup points" = pickup offered or pickup points listed, possibly at extra cost.
Price per hour
| Lowest | Typical | Highest | Tours with price and duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| €25 / h | €38 / h | €63 / h | 6 of 20 |
Only tours that are not private and state both a per-person price and a duration in hours. Duration = midpoint of the stated range; multi-day tours are left out. Typical = median; not shown when fewer than 5 tours. Price per hour does not account for what is included, so it is a rough comparison, not a measure of value.
Questions
How much do ice fishing trips cost?
6 of the 20 tours that are not private state a per-person price: from €59, typically (median) €97 and up to €130. 14 state a group price or no price basis, so the tour list can show higher prices than this range, and 4 private tours are left out because a private tour's per-person price depends on group size. These are listed starting prices on the collection date.
How long do ice fishing trips take?
16 of 24 tours state a duration in hours: typically (median) 3 h, from 1 h to 4 h. 8 do not state a usable duration.
Can children join?
2 of the 24 tours here state a minimum age: 3 years; 2 from the operator's own page. The other 22 do not state one, which is not the same as saying children can join — ask the operator. Tours with a stated minimum age of 4 years or less are marked family-friendly.
Who are ice fishing trips for?
Ice fishing suits you if you want a quiet, slow activity that needs no skill and no fitness, and if you can stand sitting still in the cold. It is the cheapest fishing type here: the typical plain ice fishing trip costs less than the typical trip that adds another activity.

Sources and method
Tour data
How operators were found: no single list is complete, so we combined 619 candidate companies from several sources (Visit Finland DataHub 137, GetYourGuide 88, the Finnish Trade Register (PRH open data, tourism-related lines of business) 424, Viator 6, visitrovaniemi.fi listings 38, the visitrovaniemi.fi company directory 89, web searches in seven languages 141; a company can be in several). Each candidate with a website was checked on its own website. Tour details are taken first from the operator’s own website (or Visit Finland DataHub (opens in a new tab)); booking platforms fill in what the operator’s page does not state.
The tables and tour lists include the fishing trips in our data that have a working booking link: 50 tours (50 with details from the operator’s own website; listed on: DataHub 15, operator site 41 — the same tour is often listed in several places, so these add up to more than 50), collected 2026-09-22. Fishing: fishing named in the tour title, or (if the title names no activity) in the collected listing text. Pages that are not a single bookable fishing trip — an overview page, a company front page, a permit or rental — were left out after reading the page. 1 tour was left out because it has no working booking link yet. A tour whose operating base is more than 50 km from the centre is listed only when the tour page says it departs from, or picks up in, the destination; the distance is then shown on the tour. Distances are measured from coordinates in Visit Finland DataHub, or from the postal code of the company’s registered address (PRH open data (opens in a new tab); postal code areas from Statistics Finland (opens in a new tab)). Prices change daily; check them on the booking page.
Links to operators’ own pages were last checked on : 1404 addresses across every activity on this site, of which 21 did not answer with a working page and are not linked. GetYourGuide and Viator links are not fetched.
This page shows the 24 of them in the group “Ice fishing” (the title says ice fishing or names a frozen lake: you drill a hole in the ice and fish through it). Each tour belongs to exactly one group.
