Alex was a great guide for the night. We had a much better time than expected. The water isn't as cold as you'd think when the suit is on.
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.Read more about Aurora Arctic Ice Floating in Rovaniemi, Small-group only - https://www.viator.com/tours/Rovaniemi/Rovaniemi-Aurora-Ice-Floating-small-group-travel/d22130-59425P23?mcid=56757
We were lucky to see the colorful Northern Lights on our first night in Lapland. Special thanks to Alex in guiding us for the whole activity and showing us every detail to feel safe and relax.
Wir können das Ice Floating nur weiterempfehlen, es war so ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Abgeholt in Rovaniemi wurden wir von Alex und fuhren dann an einen privaten See. Dort bekamen wir dann in einer süßen kleinen Hütte die Anzüge. Mein Mann und ich sind beide sehr groß (er ist 1,93m) und die Anzüge passten uns sehr gut. In den Anzügen hat man keine Schuhe, Jacke, Mütze oder Handschuhe an. Sie hielten uns sehr gut warm und es war super witzig, im Wasser zu schweben und Eis zu zerbrechen. Alex war erst mit uns im Wasser, gab uns Tipps und passte auf, dass es jedem gut geht. Später machte er noch ganz viele Bilder vom uns. Nach dem Floating konnten wir uns in der Hütte am Feuer bei Tee und Keksen aufwärmen, während Alex uns ein paar Einblicke gab, wie es im Sommer in Finnland ist. Es war ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis, vielen Dank!
This was an incredible experience! The feeling of floating is absolutely indescribable. We ended up staying close to an hour in the water- the suits and some fun & friendly racing kept us warm :) Alex is a great host and gave us lovely insights into the Finnish lifestyle! Highly recommend.
What an amazing night!Had so much fun, we didn’t know what to expect but had the best time.Pedro was an excellent host and very funny and friendly!We were very lucky to have such an amazing bunch of people on our tour.We didn’t see the Northern lights but saw a very faint green glow which we were adamant was the lights, much to Pedro's amusement!!The warming blueberry juice and gingerbread cookies were a big hit!Thank you for such an incredible evening guys

Oh we had so much fun!! This was the activity that prompted us to move Finland up the travel list and it did not disappoint (we saw Eugene levy do this on reluctant traveler).Pedro was our guide and he was just wonderful. Very fun guy to lead what is arguably a goofy activity. We wore several layers and then bundled up into the suit. It got a little chilly towards the end but otherwise we stayed nice and dry. We did not see the Aurora which would have been nice of course but still a fantastic time. Highly recommend!
After reading rave reviews about peoples experiences we were super keen to give the float a try and whilst our experience was slightly different to those I had researched it was still an enjoyable and unique one.Our guide Noah was nice and helpful but we did not have the warm fuzzy homely experience following the float listed in other peoples reviews.Perhaps our group was too large?We were separated into 2 groups: French speaking (10 ppl) and not-French speaking (8 ppl after 2 people pulled out before we got on the mini bus). This was a good decision as many people bunched up around each other and it looked more like dodgem cars than a quiet and private floating experience.I was in the second group, and we only had to wait 20-30mins before we could kit up and walk down to the lake - it would seem not many people last very long in the icy water. Most of our group were out of the water within the first 10mins, the suits do indeed keep you dry (provided you don’t flail around in them) but it didn’t prevent the coolness from hitting you everywhere the water touched your suit.I engaged some serious yogic deep breathing and was able to put it out of my mind to enjoy a blissful float for 30mins - 20 of which I had the lake to myself.The night we did our float was cloudy with not a star to be seen and no northern lights - this experience would have been out of this world if there had been something other than blackness / grey clouds to look at - but that’s nature for you!
Such a great experience to be here. Alex is my instructor so funny and very nice person.Must try to feel different of nordic experiences
