★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 212 reviews · 10 hours · from $627

Ride the legendary Icebreaker Sampo in winter Lapland, then float in Bothnian Bay ice water in a survival suit, with SnowCastle access.

“Was an amazing trip! Very well organised, activities nicely arranged throughout the hours on the boat. Very cold, windy and snowy day when I went. Almost decided not to go into the water to float. But happy that I did with my 9YO as the support was professional and smooth, protection seems enough to me and the boat blocked the wind a bit so floating open water is not impacted too much. Transportation arrangement from Rovaniemi was smooth too. Overall great experience!”

“A few things that could’ve been better otherwise wouldn’t recommend: (1) it was an isolated cut out part of lake and was frozen when we arrived (would recommend the other tour with ice breaker for real experience) (2) the suit was not waterproof- my shirts & pants were soaked - luckily had time to dry them off by the fire pit before heading back (3) it was a large group with more than 25 people and the guides had to divide us into 3 groups while the others wait in the tent. Also with a large group the second and third groups had less time to experience the floating &…”

“The experience was great, and the guide was lovely and professional. However, the changing room could be improved, as it was very cold and not heated. Especially in winter, when temperatures can drop –24°C as we experienced, it would be much nicer to have a warm place to change clothes before and after the activity.”

Rovaniemi Arctic Day with snowshoeing, ice fishing, and ice floating, plus a Lappish salmon BBQ, with hotel pickup and pro guides.

“It was a fun trip and our guide was very nice, but it was not worth the price paid. Also, the ice floating suits had some issues with water getting in which was not ideal and also freezing! Had to dry our clothes after for a while with a hairdryer. Salmon was very good. We did not take the whole time that we booked (went back around 2pm instead of 4) and think even less time would have also been enough.”
