Very fun and typical experience! - We had a great evening! We were very carefully explained the « procedure » for a traditional sauna and how to prepare for the ice bath. It was quite the experience! We were anxious at first but we were very happy to have done it. The meal afterwards was delicious, and we had a very nice chat with the owners. Unfortunately we didn’t see northern lights as the activity was quite low and there were a lot of clouds, but we knew this was only a matter of luck so it didn’t bother us. Highly recommend!

A Must Activity in Rovaniemi - This activity was really a great experience :) A must to do in Rovaniemi. Mattia,our guide, was on time and he was really nice and attentive to our needs. He took the time to explain us Finnish people lifestyle as he leaves in Finland. The dinner was delicious the salmon was amazing and we also saw the northern lights which makes the experience even more exciting. The spa was amazing and it was really a funny experience. I would recommend it to everyone that goes on vacation in Rovaniemi

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.
