    Alison_C, Mar 2025
    So much fun! Great way to experience a cold plunge without the cold part. You wear a dry suit and stay warm and dry the entire time. Guides are very helpful and get you in and out of the suit and take photos while in the water. Warm drinks and cookies afterward!

    A great time worth it!

    Mary_B, Jan 2025
    This experience was so unique and fun!! You will not get wet at all and the suits keep you warm while floating. You float on a pond in the middle of the woods and there is a cute log cabin where you will change and get cookies and hot golgi after. Overall a great time!

    It’s a great time!

    Debbie_T, Jan 2025
    This was so fun (and super safe)! Our guide, Jaco, was truly the best. He educated, entertained and directed the group with cohesion and clarity. Truly, a super fun and unforgettable time!

    Amazing trip

    Amazing experience. The host Brandon was amazing really kind and chatty and could answer every question we had. Lovely to be in a small group. Once in a lifetime experience.

    Fun to float!

    Lindsay_F, Jan 2025
    This was a very unique and fun experience floating on water. Our guide was amazing. Such a cool experience.

    So much fun!

    Ellen_H, Dec 2024
    This tour was so much fun. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. I booked this tour a little over a month before my trip, I was excited about it and it didn't disappoint. So happy with everything about it.

    Invigorating activity would go again!

    Tiffany_P, Dec 2024
    What a good time. The tour leader was wonderful, full of information about Finland and very welcoming. Would book another tour with this company just because of how exceptional the guide was. The activity itself was great, but I think other people were surprised that you can still get a chill from the water - the suit keeps 98% of the cold away, but you still have to move your fingers and toes. I felt very comfortable and safe - the guide was very attentive to make sure it stayed that way.

    Our experience started with being picked up from outside our Hotel accommodation in comfortable warm vans which was a nice change after being on a tour for 2 weeks traveling by bus train & boat we were a group of 11 friends traveling together. Our guides for the day explained exactly what we would be doing & what to expect then gave clear instructions & helped us all get suited up also offering to video & take pictures for us all. It was a really fun activity not the regular thing to do all our group were over 60 years old but loved the experience. Afterwards we had warm drinks & biscuits & chatted with our guides for while then they returned us to our Hotel door. Would 100% recommend this activity it’s a must do…..❄️

    Amazing Experience

    Great service, picked up and returned to our hotel. A fun experience and well looked after by the team. Thanks for enjoyable and memorable time. Another bucket list ticked off

    A memorable experience in Roveniemi

    Erica_N, Nov 2024
    An incredible experience to be able to float in Artic Ice. Thanks to Brian (I hope I got his name correct) as our guide on 10May on 2024, it is a wonderful trip in a serene outskirts of Roveniemi. We are in the water for 30minutes and a small group of 6. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic experience

    Arctic ice floating

    Josetta_L, Dec 2023
    It was surreal floating in icy water. The experience was amazing . Ability to swim is not necessary. Once your inside the special suit for sure you will float . So nice floating peacefully watching the blue skies. The frozen lake surrounded with snowy trees is so beautiful.

    An unexpectedly fantastic experience!

    Charline_T, Nov 2023
    This activity certainly exceeded expectations and was such good fun! It was fuss free - we didn't need to change out, just slipped ourselves into the waterproof buoyant thermal suit and we all slid one by one into the lake waters, looking like floating human lobsters. :) Despite the subzero temperatures, it was not cold at all and we managed to stay dry in the thermal suit. Our guide, Pedro, was fantastic as well. Super enthusiastic about delivering an amazing experience for his guests, helping us take photos while we floated around, and then coming by to pull us up the edges of the ice so that we could lounge like a "seal"! :) Overall, a really unexpectedly fantastic experience!

    Good experience in Lapland only!

    Phiriya_N, Nov 2023
    Good experience in Lapland only! Thanks local guide "Pedro" who taking care of us during a trip and also sharing his experience in lapland. Nice place to do the ice floating and the place is not far from the town

    An awesome unique experience

    This is one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had. Floating weightlessly on your back in ice cold water was just an amazing time
