Best Of Lapland: Sauna, Ice Swimming, Dinner & Northern Lights

It was amazing Spectaculaire trip really Nice

Very nice ! We enjoyed our easy pick up , friendly guide , Hello Brandon and sauna , I’ve dip swim and dinner. Try it , you will love it. Very nice people , beautiful property

Ensure you understand the full procedure of understanding the time to spend in the sauna inorder to feel brave to plunge into the lake. Food excellent. Guides fantastic (I wish I could remember the name of the guide).

I am Finnish and took my 7 British friends ds for their first ‘proper’ sauna and ice swim experience. For most it was their favourite trip of our holiday. Sauna perfect. Beautiful setting. We all loved the swimming - many dips - and felt great afterwards. They all want to go back for more. Good food & nice informative people running it. Wish I had taken a beer though!

Very fun evening, great group of people on the tour and loved experiencing the Finnish tradition. The home made meal was tasty as well

This is like the Finns would do it themselves. If you wanna experience genuine Finnish sauna culture, then go! I have lived in Finland, and I was thrilled to show my spouse an authentic, wood-fired sauna and swim in the lake. The guide was excellent and the food was superb. Also, like Finns would do in their cottages. What's not to like??!! It's a good idea, as always, to bring a woolen beanie/hat for the sauna and neoprene shoes, if you have them. It makes the sauna and swimming experience more convenient. Enjoy!

We loved the evening and dinner. They gave us 2 hrs to enjoy the suana and ice dips. Dinner was delicious. Would have liked to know more about Finnish culture. But they allowed us to ask questions which was nice.

Ice swimming was an amazing and invigorating experience, organized by a very welcoming and kind team. Highly recommended.

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!

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

A fantastic authentic Finnish experience! Everything was perfect, the dinner was spectacular, the guides were nice. It's a pity we didn't see northern lights.

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.

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.

Such an amazing experience with plenty of time to enjoy the sauna and ice swimming. Even without the northern lights, I would recommend participating in this activity for an unique memory.

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.

Absolutely recommended. A must if you go to Rovaniemi. They were so kind. The lunch was allergen free and the salmon incredibly yummy.

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

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.

Very nice People, very nice Place, good Food. Nice finnisch Sauna with the Lake to cool down😍 Need to be Done! Jens & Franzi

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!

Very authentic experience, loved it. The sauna was with wood and the food was delicious. I Highly recommend this tour !! If I come back I will book this tour again.

Amazing group experience and a very welcoming and knowledgeable team. The lake dip was freezing but the sauna felt great after

We had a great time, experienced Finnish culture and met nice fellow travelers…lovely meal too. A very special afternoon.

Brilliant experience! The sauna and ice lake was a must do experience. The salmon dinner was amazing as we're our hosts who gave us loads of fascinating information. Would definitely recommend

Authentic finish sauna experience with lake dipping and excellent dinner in a remote cabin. The host are really friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Very nice Place, authentic finish sauna, and to go into the icy water was not as bad as you think! After the sauna we were sitting together to have some snacks!

Nice evening, enough time to enjoy the sauna, possibility to swim in the lake (which i enjoyed a lot), good salmon for diner and lot of explanations about life in Lapland, fauna, flora, very interesting ! And nice hosts :)

Great experience! So glad we did it! Sauna & dip in the lake were awesome! My wife wasn’t sure how she would do with the dip in the lake and she ended up going in four times, and the salmon was delicious! The entire meal was really good. A true authentic Finnish experience and one of our top three favorite things we did on our entire trip!

The whole experience was fantastic, Alex was great and both him and his wife really helped us to capture the feeling of a Lappish way of life. Food was outstanding and the sauna and lake was a totally unique experience, especially at -11 outside! Would highly recommend this tour to get a real taste of Finnish life.

Easily one of the best part of our trip! Spent my birthday doing this activity and it was sooo worth it! Pedro picked us up from Rovaniemi center. We started on time and it was -17 degrees at that time. We were given clear instructions and started to change to go inside the Sauna. It was a wonderful experience. Also met lots of lovely people :) It is a memorable experience especially dipping in the ice lake with -17 degrees outside!! Did it for 2 times (25mins sauna then dip, repeat 2x then sauna at the end) After that, we went inside for a nice salmon meal and at the end Pedro even gave us interesting stories about Finland. Everything was smooth. I would love to to this again if given a chance! :)

Very happy with the activity, truly unique experience. Everything was clean, Pedro and Tanya were very friendly and helpful, and the dinner was delicious. We would definitely recommend this experience!!!

This was AMAZING!!! Pedro, our guide, was so knowledgeable and fun and the experience of dipping into ice water was unforgettable! The dinner was incredible as well! I want to do this again for sure!!!!!

It was the best tour I did in Rovaniemi. Great place, atmosphere, people and food. Did the lunch tour because it was the only available but now I can say it is the best time to do so, specially because late in the evening it can get colder and more windy. Loved the whole experience, would definitely do it again.

Alex is an amazing guide, always on time and cheerful. The trip was extraordinary with an ice dip, sauna and dinner afterwards!

This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide was great and it was a small group, so made it much more intimate. Once given the instructions; you were left to spend your time how like. The lake plunge was a unique experience. Dinner was also delicious! Highly recommend this story-one of our favorite things we did!

It was a great experience. Wish they had more spots so my friend could join me. The sauna and the ice dipping and the dinner all were great. I highly recommend it :)

The property was old school and pristine, the sauna was hot, the lake was refreshing, snow was falling, and the smoke salmon dinner was delicious. All in all it was our favorite experience during our time in Rovaniemi and a great way to finish the trip. Tatiana and Pedro were incredibly gracious hosts and made us feel like it was our home from pickup to drop off. Would HIGHLY recommend The Best of Lapland experience 🔥❄️🎣🇫🇮

The experience was amazing. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off at our doorstep afterwards. Alex shared lots of great info about the town and traditions of locals during the van ride. We had a group of 4 and were joined with 2 other groups of 2 for a total of 8 people. The property was about 25 minutes outside of the city-center and took about an hour to pick up everybody and get there. The lake, saunas, and cozy cabin are secluded and private. It was such a special evening and amazing experience to dip in the freezing water, make snow angels in the beautiful snow, and warm up in the traditional wood-burning sauna. The dinner provided was delicious! I felt like family with how inviting the hosts were and all the great stories they told us about life in Lapland. I would recommend this activity for sure! Such a special and intimate evening that I will remember forever!

Everything was amazing thank you for amazing trip! Food, guides, sauna everything was truly amazing!

From start to finish our tour with Nordic Adventures was exceptional! The sauna and ice swimming experience followed by our delicious meal was something we will always cherish. The customer service was outstanding, our hosts were friendly, hospitality, informative and passionate about Finnish culture which we loved learning more about. We are so grateful for our day and extend our thanks.

One of the best group activities we had in the time we spent in Finland. Our host Tanya was so very warm and efficient. We had some very engaging conversations about the culture of Lapish people. The cottage decorated so beautifully with the lights and the tree brought in Christmas early for us. The night sky, the sauna and the whole experience was absolutely splendid. This is a high recommend for everyone to try out.

Unbelievable experience!!! Definitely recommend. The host/ tour guides were very helpful and welcoming. The food was great!!!

It was an Amazing experience!!! The tour guides were very nice, friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean and organized. The food was delicious. I definitely recommend.

My daughter and I had a wonderful evening with Alex and Tonya. We had a relaxing time in the traditional sauna and braved a few dips into the frozen lake! After the sauna, we enjoyed a delicious meal and had great conversation with our hosts. Alex and Tonya made us feel so warmly welcomed and this was a definite highlight to our first trip to Finland.

Such a relaxing evening! My husband and I couldn't recommend this tour more. The food was absolutely amazing!

This was a great excursion out into the wild wonders of Lapland! Great tour, great hosts, great experiences. Sauna was great as well as the lake swim.

We had a beautiful day with Alex in Tanya at the traditional sauna place. The experience was excellent, the dinner (smoked salmon) was very delicious. It was on of the best experiences we had in Finland. Thank you, Nortic Adventures!

We had a very nice and relaxing evening! The traditional finish sauna was amazing and swimming in the lake in the peaceful evening hours to refresh was a wonderful experience. We very much enjoyed the traditional food and there was actually more than we were able to eat ;) The whole experience was really thoughtful put together and we felt very well taken care of by our hosts. If we would come again to Lappland we definitively would do an experience with Nordic Adventures a second time!

A wonderful scenic location in the middle of the forest next to a beautiful lake. Authentic Finnish sauna, which we stoked up to 110 degrees with real birch wood, followed by a dip in the ice-hole and rolling in the snow. It was both exhilarating and relaxing experience at the same time. After two-hour sauna session we were welcomed in the guesthouse by the hostess who fire-grilled some salmon for us. The traditional Lappish lunch was simple but scrumptious. The host was knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, an unforgettable experience. The only regret was that we had to leave.
