“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 Artic Ice Floating was amazing to experience.Unfotunately we didn't see the Northern lights due to clouds but that did not spoil anything. Just lying there, floating in the peace and quiet looking up at the stars was awesome. Something that everyone should try once in their lifetime. It was sureal as the water was freezing over as we were floating around. Don't just think about it, BOOK IT.”

Float in a rescue suit on a frozen Lapland lake, with hot drinks, wilderness views, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.

“a truly unique and relaxing experience. guides were super friendly, helpful, and explained everything really well, helped us take photos while we were in the water, and made sure we were comfortable all the time. super lucky to have had clear skies where i really just laid down to admire the stars. the aurora became pretty visible after i got out of the water as well, which was really super lucky of my group. guides made sure we were all informed of the visible aurora (even those that were already warming inside with the fire) so that we all had a chance to see it and get some photos. yummy…”
