Experience the natural beauty of the Finnish wilderness on a relaxing ice floating excursion in Rovaniemi!

Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, located just south of the Arctic Circle, in Finland. This ice floating experience in Rovaniemi takes place on a Lappish lake in the surrounding boreal forests.

The ice floating in Rovaniemi begins with pick-up from one of the listed locations in the city (please specify upon booking). You'll meet your experienced guide and enjoy a scenic drive to the ice-floating area in the forest. Upon arrival at the starting point, you'll change into warm winter clothing and a waterproof suit, which will keep you dry throughout the ice floating experience. After a quick safety briefing and instructions, the ice floating adventure in Rovaniemi begins!

Following the guide's instructions, you'll lie back in the lake and float on its icy surface. As you gaze at the polar night sky, the buoyancy of the suit will allow you to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Rovaniemi is situated just 6 km (3.7 miles) from the Arctic Circle, making it a prime location for viewing the Northern Lights! In the middle of the wilderness away from light pollution, the mesmerising Aurora Borealis will hopefully appear above you as you float on the lake. After the ice floating experience in Rovaniemi, you'll be driven back to the original pick-up point.

Immerse yourself in the winter wonderland of Finland on this magical ice floating excursion in Rovaniemi!
