Description

In the early evening, experience Ice Floating in a frozen Lapland lake and observe the Northern Lights!

Departing from your accommodation in Rovaniemi or directly from our partner's agency (depending on the option chosen), you'll head into the heart of the Lapland forest for an unforgettable experience.

Far from any visual pollution, in a cinema setting, you'll don a cold- and waterproof suit over your clothes and then immerse yourself in a frozen, salty lake. The water temperature will be around -13°, but thanks to your wetsuit you won't feel a thing.

As the name suggests (Ice Floating) you'll float on the surface throughout the experience. This phenomenon is due to the high concentration of salt present in the lake. The first few minutes of the experience are peculiar, but very soon you'll feel relaxed and can then start admiring the scenery around you.

Most importantly, you're in the perfect position to watch the northern lights! If the weather and luck are on your side, you'll discover the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis and its amazing green colors, enough to leave you speechless.

At the end of the experience, you'll enjoy a convivial moment over a Lappish snack in the company of your guide and savor gingerbread and warm blueberry juice, a must-have drink in Lapland.

You'll be driven back to Rovaniemi after a unique Ice Floating experience.
