Great day ice fishing and playing at the ice festival

Really enjoyble day with guide Alex and driver Charlie who were both super friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend the festival as an experience, heaps to do, easy to navigate and lots of fun. Alex was a great help with the Ice fishing too and gave a good mix of guidance and free time with lots of helpful tips. It's a long drive and would definitely go with a tour/guide to get the best of the experience. Thanks again Alex and Charlie.

Unique experience! Great for families!

This was an unique experience! Our daughter wanted to see snow, so we decided to do this tour and it was perfect! The car that drove us there was very confortable and clean and our guide, Gogo, was very thoughtful. The ice fishing was fun - and we can eat what we fish afterwards (it was delicious!). The festival has other fun activities for kids, like skating and sledging. My daughter loved it - during the day it snowed and she felt like Elsa (Frozen!)! To be honest, my younger daughter did not like it as much as my oldest one - she said it was freezing. Anyway, we loved the experience and we could get warm in the several tents around the ice. Highly recommended!
