Best Of Lapland: Sauna, Ice swimming, Dinner & Northern Lights
Overview
What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about traditional Finnish adventure? Northern lights hunting, Finnish sauna & Ice swimming, or traditional Lappish dinner in a cozy wooden cottage away from the city buzz? Correct! On this tour you will get all of the above and even a little more!
Let the heat purify your body as the mellow wintery magic of Lapland purifies your soul. Let go of the stress and enjoy the presence of your loved ones. While we do our best to prepare you for an evening in the wilderness, it's up to you decide how you want to spend your time. The classic Nordic way is to spend 10-15 minutes in the sauna and then jump into ice cold water, or even a big pile of crystal white snow! A cold plunge after a steamy session increases your blood flow, relieves pressure and boosts up your endorphin levels!
After this unique Finnish spa experience, it's time to get back to our little cozy wooden cottage to enjoy Blazed salmon dinner by a fireplace.

What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Nordic Adventures, Ahkiomaantie 31, Rovaniemi 96300 Finland
Winter, summer, midnight or evening, the joy of sauna bathing is a totally delightful event.
Sauna bathing has become such a deeply ingrained Finnish tradition that not even the difficult circumstances have been able to interrupt or alter it. It is a part of Finnish culture, customs and social pattern, passed inevitably from one generation to the next.
The sauna effect is created by making the body hot throughout, almost like simulation a fever. This high temperature, coupled with the tranquil view and the later breathing of the stimulation lake air creates the benevolent effect always associated with sauna.
The greatest time to see the Northern Lights is between October and middle of March. You need fair skies, pitch black nights and some luck to see the dancing lights in the sky. To make the entire experience extraordinary we will take you a traditional Finnish sauna on a private Arctic lake. Let's make this an adventure of a lifetime!
Stop At: Nordic Adventures, Kuusiseläntie, 96760 Rovaniemi, Finland
Once the sauna is all set up it's your time to relax. Let the heat purify your body as the mellow wintery magic of Lapland purifies your soul.

The Northern Lights hunting is one of the most popular things to do in Finland. Seeing flickering shades of blue, green, violet and sometimes even crimson red is one of the most epic adventures you can have. Aurora sights are never guaranteed, as nature is unpredictable. So, that makes this experience even more special. The thrill of the chase, an amazing sauna experience and a traditional dinner in a wooden cottage by the private arctic lake are what we call The best of Lapland.

Being in the sauna, prior to the Ice swimming was an incredible experience specially for us coming from down south. Dinner by Tania and Alex was great and even better spending time with them and learning about Lapland.

Had a lovely time. The sauna/ice lake combo felt great and was good for the body, a very healthy activity. The food was amazing and the chat after dinner was informative and entertaining. We definitely left with a better understanding of the life and culture of Lapland.

Exceptionally well organized and professional operator in Lapland. We booked four tours through Viator, and the operator cancelled two. But the tour by Nordic Adventure was on time and professionally managed. Before the tour, Mr. Alex, the operator, replied to all our queries and was on time for pickup at our hotel. We headed to the Zoo in his comfortable van. He explained the animals in the zoo; later, we had a great lunch at the zoo, then we headed to the traditional sauna, which was kept warm by his wife. She explained all about the sauna and dipping in cold water. For two hours, we had our free time in the sauna and then dipped in ice-cold water. I did it twice and enjoyed the whole new experience. We then had a great home-cooked dinner. Salmon smoke was the best we had in Finland during our whole trip. It was fresh and tasted fantastic. There were also homemade ginger cookies, hot berry juice, fresh baby tomatoes, cucumber, and homemade bread. Undoubtedly, this was an excellent experience for both of us, and we will surely visit again and use Nordic Adventures for our future travel in Lapland. Both Alex and his wife hosted us, and we felt at home. Thank you for the beautiful arrangements.Cafeluta

We highly recommend this tour because it's a full day adventure guided by some of the nicest people we have ever met. We got to see the animals at Ranua zoo which Alex(our guide) was very knowledgeable about. Afterwards, we went to the cabin which is situated in the most beautiful place, in the middle of the forest with a lake in front of it. There we met Tanya, who was extremely nice and told us how the sauna and ice floating works. We tried ice floating for the first time and it was a fun, relaxing experience. They even let us climb on the ice and play around. We got to cross sauna and ice dipping off our bucketlist and it was amazing. Afterwards we ate dinner together(salmon smoked by Tanya herself) and we chatted about different finnish traditions and customs. All in all it was the best way to end our trip to Lapland and we highly recommend you try this experience!
