Float below the heavens on this unique Northern Lights experience near Rovaniemi Lapland!
Float below the heavens on this unique Northern Lights experience near Rovaniemi. Welcoming adventurers of all ages on this family-friendly excursion!
This activity takes place near Rovaniemi in the Lapland area of Finland. Operating on a scenic lake in the Taiga Arctic Forest, its isolated placement makes it the ideal location for star gazing and Northern Lights viewing due to its low light pollution and unobstructed view.
The tour begins by meeting your guide at the starting point in Rovaniemi (pick-up is available within a 15km driving distance). This scenic experience is suitable for groups of friends and families alike thanks to the use of a specialised Arctic drysuit - a high-quality floating rescue suit that covers your whole body and keeps you warm and dry. As you have your own clothing under the suit you will not get cold even in the open 0-degree water.
After receiving your suit and a safety briefing, you will head deep into the Boreal Forest to reach a scenic lake. Then, you will change into these expertly insulated head-to-toe suits as the guide breaks up the ice – allowing you to dip into the water and lie on your back to watch the stars and magnificent Aurora Borealis. Lay back and watch the world’s most dramatic light show. Away from tourist areas and light pollution, you should have an excellent chance of witnessing the natural phenomenon. Afterwards, there will be hot blueberry juice and ginger snacks waiting for you – allowing you to get cosy and warm up. You will then be transported back to the city centre where your adventure will end.
This ice-floating experience is an alternative way of taking in the awe-inspiring Northern Lights deep in the Lapland forest. Book this unforgettable adventure from Rovaniemi now!
