Winter wonderland - The service was excellent, with a punctual pick-up at my accommodation, a friendly guide, and stunning scenery in a wildlife park covered in beautiful snow. Floating on the cold lake, experiencing the sauna, and taking a dip added to the fantastic overall experience. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable.

Best Day of our Trip! - Most amazing day in Lapland!!!! We have traveled to Lapland 3x and this has been our favorite experience yet. Excellent booking communication, professional knowledgeable guides, and AMAZING floating experience along with sauna and ice lake dip. As if that wasn’t enough, we were then served the most amazing smoked salmon dinner and all felt it was the best meal of our entire trip. This was one of 3 excursions booked with Nordic Adventures we were so happy with each adventure. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ALL YOUR EXCURSIONS!!!

Such a perfect day - Absolutely outstanding. The host Pedro was excellent. We spent the morning at the zoo which Pedro helped us identify the animals hidden in the snow. He explained a lot about Finnish animals and culture. We had a lovely buffet lunch which was fulk of selection and you can go back multiple times. We then went on to have a lovely unique experience floating in the ice lake. We were fortunate due to it being January there were only the two of us so it felt a very private experience. We had a couple of hours then in a Finnish sauna which was lovely just to chill. They provided refreshments we could use whilst in and out of the sauna. Neither of us like salmon which was the evening meal plan, however we contacted them in advance and were provided with chicken instead. It was so tasty. A definite recommendation for anyone wanting a dull day out with plenty variety. The hosts were excellent

Amazing Experience!! - Fun day trip! We had a small group - only 5 people. The minivan was comfortable (1 hour drive). The zoo/wildlife park was an interesting stop - you can see Arctic animals in their own environment. Our guide (Pedro) was with us at the Zoo, telling us about the animals. Lunch was lovely (buffet at the Zoo). After that,we had an easy 30 min ride (back toward Rovaniemi) to the lake where we were scheduled to float, go to the sauna, and have dinner. Floating was amazing! We were swimming for about 40 min, playing like polar bears with slabs of ice and crawled on the ice. The sauna was fun- nice and clean, but it is an authentic experience (no shower and the toilet is an outhouse). We were dipping in the lake, so we did not miss a shower much. Dinner was excellent (salmon, vegetables, cookies). No alcohol (you can bring some with you if you wish to have it after the sauna). Overall - a great memorable experience.

Just awesome. - Thank you Alex and Tania for an amazing day. Our experience was everything and more. Your hospitality made us feel welcome, and sharing some of your experiences just made it more than we could off hoped for. For anyone looking to experience Lapland, this is the best value foroney you could get. From floating on a lake in a dry suit, a true firewood sauna and jumping into ice water, to a true Finnish meal. Bottom line a true 5 star experience and worth every penny. Thank you Alex and Tania.
