Hard to beat this experience - Great hosts. Great experience. If you come to Finland and don’t do this you missed the most authentic Lapland adventure. The location isn’t too far from Rovaniemi and the cabins and Sauna were like travelling back in time. We loved it. Highly recommended.

Unique experience to try ! - If you want to experience a unique finnish tradition this is the tour to do ! The sauna is cosy and warm and the view of the lake is gorgeous. We we're well taken care of and everything was clearly explained. The lake was cold but refreshing after the warm sauna. You spend two hours warming up and chilling down. Then you get to enjoy a nice and typical finnish dish, salmon. The food was very good and we got to ask questions about the way of life in Finland in winter and in summer. Overall a great and unique experience, Alex and Hanna (if i remember correctly) took really good care of us and made sure that we enjoyed the activity. I definitely recommend it ! Thanks again for everything Our best from Belgium, Fiona & François

Don’t miss this! - Traditional Finnish wood sauna was amazing! The ice plunge was worth it, difficult but each time got easier. It was really interesting to learn how saunas are a way of life for the Finnish people. As well as the health benefits for both saunas and cold plunges. Then they prepared a delicious salmon dinner. Highly recommend!

Terrible and Unprofessional - BE AWARE OF THIS TOUR Terrible experience. If I can, I will give this trip zero star. Very unprofessional tour guide and the very poor communication from the company. We participated 4 tours at Rovianiemi, all other three from other companies were awesome and we had a lot of fun except this one. Do not waster your money and time.
