Ice floating in Rovaniemi’s frozen lake, wrapped in a warm dry suit, chasing the Northern Lights with expert guides and hot gingerbread tea.
“Fantastic experience! Was super fun to float around for about an hour! Suits keep you fairly dry but some leak a bit soo dress warm underneath!! Would recommend!”
A 1.5-hour private Finnish sauna session in a 1958 blacksmith sauna, finished with a Kemijoki River ice dip near Rovaniemi.

Daytime ice floating in Rovaniemi, Finland. Adults-only vibe, warm rescue suits, small groups, hot drinks, and surreal frozen-lake views.
“Tour guide was amazing explained a lot about Finnish culture. Tour guy gave us some tips on other things to do. Only thing is I wish they had ways to take pictures besides using one phone.”
Sauna and ice swimming on an Arctic lake, open-fire salmon dinner, and an evening Northern Lights chance in Rovaniemi.
“Great experience! So glad we did it! Sauna & dip in the lake were awesome! My wife wasn’t sure how she would do with the dip in the lake and she ended up going in four times, and the salmon was delicious! The entire meal was really good. A true authentic Finnish experience and one of our top three favorite things we did on our entire trip!”
Sauna and ice swimming on an Arctic lake in Rovaniemi, finished with smoked salmon dinner, optional aurora viewing, and hotel pickup.
“The activity was our highlight during our trip to Rovaniemi.. had an absolutely fantastic time. A visit to Finland minus a sauna trip is like having fish and chips minus the chips 😉.. our guide Pedro was fantastic and the property host as well. This is a must do experience for anyone who visits Finland. The water in the lake was near freezing and the wood fire heated sauna was just the best.”
Float in Helsinki in a warm survival suit on the Baltic Sea, learn rescue and hypothermia basics, and enjoy calm weightless time in 1.5 hours.
“Absolutely amazing experience! We had the chance to walk on the frozen Baltic Sea, swim in the water and our guide Oli gave us some survival challenges! We had the opportunity to jump into the ice and even break a BIG piece of it! Not to mention our guide was super friendly and he took pictures and videos of us and shared them right after we ended the activity! 100% recommended activity!”
Float in Rovaniemi’s Arctic lake in waterproof thermal suits, warm up by a campfire, and chase the northern lights on a small-group night tour.
“This was definitely a highlight of our trip. You think you will be freezing, but you arent. It’s so fun to float around in the ice water. Would be incredible if you got to see the Northern Lights. The suit keeps you warm, but I would recommend extra layers in hands and feet. Will make it even better.”

The whole team were very caring and made you feel very welcome. The cabin and refreshments were perfect - would recommend this experience 100%”
