Unique experience - Had a fabulous time. I dressed for the cold with 3 layers & it was lovely! Our guide was reassuring & kind. The weather was cloudy but I still loved it! Great experience!

Incredible! Unforgettable!!! - An incredible experience! Highly recommended and to repeat! We are a family of 5, maybe for the little one who is 7 years old it was too much, but for those older than 12 and 13 years old it was an unforgettable experience!

Ice float-the ultimate relax - This was such a beautiful experience. Pick up was easy, drive to the site was comfy and the actual activity was great! We didn’t see the Aurora, but it didn’t matter, the floating was so relaxing and I stayed in for 45min, no rush (we did have a smaller group). Our guides were really nice too. After the float, I sat in the teepee by the fire and had hot drinks and snacks. Would highly recommend this experience!

Safarica - a reliable partner for adventures in Rovaniemi - General recommendation to anyone who intends to travel to Rovaniemi - book your adventures on site at local , not by a travel agency. In that way you will know exactly what are you going to experience. I did ice floating and snowmobiling quick spin w/ Safartica - very professional guides, excellent organization of the events, reasonable prices. One gets extra thick overall and boots to feel comfortable at very low temperatures for the snowmobiling, huskies, reindeers, etc, and a very thick survival neopren for the floating. One doesn't feel cold at all. Recommendation to Safarica - to consider offering optional packs of hand and foot warmers - those increase the comfort.

Enchanting unusual activity - Extraordinary experience, in an enchanting setting! Among all of our activities, this is the most unusual and intimate in which we have participated (couple +2 adult children). The site is delightful, chalet and kotta in a magical setting, which is not always the case with other providers. Julia and Joachim were enthusiastic and allowed us to have a memorable evening! I recommend this unusual activity with complete confidence: as surprising as it may seem, the combination keeps us warm, dry, and we have the impression of floating in space on a cozy mattress! Unfortunately no aurora borealis that evening, the sky was overcast.

Icefloating super! - We booked all our excursions with Safartica and they are all top notch! Who would have ever thought of swimming in the Arctic sea? Super experience and you won't get wet!! You stay in the bath for up to 20 minutes then your body starts to get very cold and you go back to putting your thermal clothing back on! Thanks to Tia and Aleandro our super guides 🎉

The best guides - Pietro and Noah, the best guides we could have! We were a group of 12 people and they took many photos and were very attentive to us. Super friendly and pleasant at all times. Also, I forgot to take my gloves and they took care of bringing them to the city for me. 10/10! I hope to repeat in the future. Highly recommended.

Nice, but the suit range has room for improvement. - Good excursion, but there were no dry suits for small people, so my wife got cold very quickly. Too bad, otherwise it was good. Very nice staff

Must Try when you are in the arctic circle - The experience of floating in the freezing arctic water was quite surreal. For the time in floating on the water, you just concentrate on floating and the surroundings. The team that took care of us was friendly and helpful. They helped me in and out of the drysuits and took photos and videos for me using my mobile phone. It would be good to bring a change of clothes just in case there are small leaks in the suit. Fortunately my drysuit was perfect but the 2 other ladies in my group had a soaking sock and another pants. We managed to see a faint Northern Light at the end of the activity.
