Refreshing! - Alex arrived on time (early, no rush to board transport earlier than planned) , great interaction with guests keeping the conversation flowing with just the right amount of information. Swift pick-ups of other guests. Great explanation of the night, sauna, entering the water etc. Lucky to have great banter in Sauna with other guests, made night fun. Enjoyed the fresh dinner. Not lucky enough to see northern light, thoroughly enjoyed the event more than expected to.

A MUST - Please please please go try this it was an amazing experience. My friend and I were so nervous for the cold plunge but it's no where as bad as you would think. The cabin was cozy and clean, the guides were all friendly and chill, and the dinner was lovely.

Great experience to do absolutely - Our guide Brandan came to pick us up in the center of Rovaniemi and then we went to the shores of a lake there were two saunas and a house for dinner. The experience was incredible alternating between sauna and “fast” swimming in the lake most courageous it was super interesting. There were several guides who explained to us how to do and especially to listen well to our body. After enjoying the sauna and swimming for 2 hours we were treated to a typical Finnish meal it was delicious. Once the meal was over we went out to see the Northern Lights but unfortunately the moon was too bright and did not manage to see them. So we went back to Rovaniemi. On the way back, our guide Brandan stopped us on the side of the road because the Northern Lights were starting to come out it was a magnificent show that closed the activity perfectly. I highly recommend it. Thanks again Brandan for everything.

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

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.
