About Us

Experiences from nature lovers to you

Finnish Lapland touches many hearts, and it has captivated us too. We wander the forests of the Inari area, seeking new spots to fish, hunt, and pick berries, while witnessing nature’s wonders up close. We want to give you a chance to experience these moments as well!

Arctic Guides

With a love for Auroras, Reindeer, Starry Nights, and other Northern Wonders

Arctic Guides are two Finnish guys living in Ivalo. We started by wanting to spend more time in nature and enjoy the great outdoors daily. So, we turned our beloved hobby into a business, and here we are! Our goal is to provide others with experiences as close as possible to what we have had in nature, which is why all our safaris are designed with that in mind.

What We do?

Northern experiences for small groups

We aim to offer more authentic, people-oriented experiences. While tourism in Lapland is growing, we choose to keep our group sizes small to give personal attention to each guest. We always remember that we’re here to provide services, and the best reward for us is your smiles and happiness after the tours.

Our Guides

Juha-Matti

I was born and raised in the heart of wilderness, and fishing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Later on, hunting also became part of my life, and spending time in nature has become a true way of living for me.

As a guide, my goal is to offer guests a genuine and unforgettable experience in Lapland’s wilderness – one that leaves you with a story to tell. If you like, I can also create a short video memory from your trip, something to share with friends or look back on later – a small extra that makes the experience even more special.

Samuel

I spent most of my time outdoors. I enjoy getting fresh air and learn more about nature. In my free time I do hiking, fishing and hunting. Usually I go adventuring with my friends or atleast with my dog (Rose).

Best thing as a guide is to be able to meet nice people and share the experiences with them. See you at tours!

Mika

I was born and raised in Ivalo, and Lapland has always been my home. Fishing isn’t just a job – it’s a way of life. I work as a professional fisherman on Lake Inari and know these waters like the back of my hand.

What I enjoy most about guiding is meeting great people and sharing real stories from life up north. I’m usually joined by my trusty sidekick, Huu the Finnish Spitz. Hope to see you out there!
