1.Ice Floating in Forest Lake with Aurora Borealis

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 797 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $115Our pick

Meet Nordic Unique Travels in central Rovaniemi, then ride by small van to a forest lake. Your English-speaking guide, such as Lia, Mario, or Esther, helps you into a floating suit for a peaceful swim beneath the stars. Aurora sightings are possible but never guaranteed.

“We got picked up at our hotel which is such a good service. Our Guide (Giselle) was absolutely amazing and very lovely. We talked a lot about the culture and the country. The Ice Floating itself was a special experience and definitely worth the price. We floates unterneath a cloudless sky and felt really comfortable with our surrounding.”

Travel 25 minutes from Rovaniemi, slip into a waterproof thermal floating suit, and swim in an ice hole beneath the Arctic sky. Guides such as Victor, Alex, Pedro, and Brandan lead the evening, with warm drinks, cookies, a campfire, and a heated cabin afterward. Northern Lights are possible but not guaranteed.

“An amazing experience!! So fun and relaxing, unfortunately didn’t see the lights during this activity but I would 100% still recommend to anyone visiting Finland!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 77 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $82Best value

You’ll ride from central Rovaniemi to a dark forest lake, zip into a floating suit, and spend time drifting in icy water beneath the stars. Hotel pickup, gear, gingerbread, and blueberry tea are included. The Aurora may appear, but weather and solar activity decide that.

“Floating on an iced lake was a unique experience, even though you might be freezing. The best part was the Nothern Lights that came to sky. It was definitely a once in a life time experience and 100% worth it. Our guide was top-rating with all the telling-stories and helped us have the time of our lives. Thank you Matthias!”

From Rovaniemi, you ride to a snowy lake, hear a safety briefing, and step into icy water in a thermal rescue suit. Float beneath the dark Arctic sky, with a chance of Northern Lights, then warm up in a wooden cottage with hot berry juice, cookies, and an open fire.

“Lamentablemente, nuestra experiencia fue muy negativa y no la recomendaríamos. Desde el inicio, notamos una falta de atención y de cuidado por parte del guía. Todos nos sentimos apuradas, sin explicaciones claras y sin la paciencia que una actividad así debería tener. Los trajes que nos dieron no eran de la talla adecua, no nos orientaron sobre cómo ponérnoslos correctamente, lo que resultó en incomodidad y hasta dolor. En ningún momento se nos dio una guía clara de cuánto tiempo estar en el agua ni se mostró interés por nuestro bienestar. El guía se mantuvo a distancia, sin ofrecer ayuda cuando una de nosotras se sintió realmente agobiada y con…”
