Frequently asked questions 

(See all questions and answers here)
A:

Yes, the ice floating experience is designed to be completely safe and warm. Participants wear high-quality, lightweight, and waterproof rescue floating suits that provide excellent thermal insulation. These suits ensure you stay dry and comfortable even in the icy water, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the unique Arctic sensation without feeling cold. For your safety, it's essential to follow all instructions given by your professional guide before and during the activity. Our guides are trained to ensure your experience is both safe and unforgettable.

A:

Yes, you can ask your guide to take photos of you during the tour using your own camera or phone. We also recommend bringing a waterproof camera or a waterproof phone case if you want to capture photos or videos while floating in the water. Using a drone is not advised, as it can easily get lost due to strong winds or the extreme cold temperatures.

A:

We have very limited parking spaces at the venue, so if you plan to arrive by your own car, please let us know in advance. We will check availability for the specific date and time of your tour.

Please note that arriving by car does not affect the price of the tour - the cost remains the same regardless of the transport method. Thank you for your understanding!

A:

For safety reasons, children cannot be left alone in the cottage while parents are in the water. There are open fires, sharp tools, and other potential hazards, so supervision is essential at all times.

Also, our group sizes are intentionally kept small to ensure a high-quality experience. Because of this, everyone attending the tour - whether floating or just observing - needs to have a paid spot.

We appreciate your understanding, as these rules help us keep everyone safe and the experience enjoyable for all guests.

A:

Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.

A:

For the best experience, we recommend wearing thermal underwear and warm pants as a base layer. On top, a fleece jacket without a hood is ideal to keep you cozy and comfortable. Avoid skirts, dresses, or shorts. For socks, wear two pairs - a regular pair underneath and a warm pair on top.

You can also bring hand and foot warmers (heat pads) for extra comfort. This layering helps you stay warm and dry under the floating suit and makes your floating experience much more enjoyable.

A:

No special skills are required for Daytime Ice Floating. You do not need to know how to swim, as the specialized floating suit provides full buoyancy and keeps you safe. All necessary equipment, including the thermal rescue floating suits, is provided. Just bring warm clothes to wear underneath and a camera to capture the unique moments.

A:

Yes! Ice Floating is a relatively short experience - the entire tour takes approximately 3 hours, which means you’ll likely still have enough time and energy to enjoy other activities later the same day if you have additional plans.

However, please keep in mind that weather and road conditions in Lapland can sometimes cause delays. The tour may take 20–30 minutes longer than scheduled, especially in snowy or icy conditions. If you have a train or flight shortly after the tour, we recommend leaving extra buffer time - just in case.

And if you’re staying at the Arctic SnowHotel, great news - we can pick you up directly from there, since it’s close to our private lake venue! Feel free to contact us if you need help planning your day.

A:

This tour is suitable for most adults and teens, but there are some important size and age considerations due to safety equipment. The minimum age is 14 years old, and participants must be at least 150 cm tall.

We typically accommodate heights up to 205 cm and weights up to 120 kg, but exact fit depends on your body composition and proportions (e.g. shoulder width, torso length). If you're unsure whether the suit will fit you comfortably, please contact us in advance — we’ll be happy to help you assess suitability.

This tour also requires average physical fitness. You must be able to climb stairs, walk on uneven ground, and move comfortably in the water while wearing the suit. If you have any health concerns, please consult your doctor before booking.

Ice floating - Fabulous Experience

If you want a really personal Finnish experience then we highly recommend these guys.
A lovely glimpse into Finnish culture coupled with an amazing albeit bizarre experience of ice floating.
Completed with a warming fire in a homily environment, with piping hot berry juice and freshly baked ginger cookies.
Amazing views over their private lake. Survival suits great quality and keep you warm.
Danielle was a fabulous host. Don’t miss this experience.

Fantastic floating experience by wonderful local hosts



Alex and his partner were wonderful hosts. The lake/ice floating was a cool experience. The entire experience had a very local feel as we were hosted at their lakeside house, given hot Berry juice by a wood fire and sat and spoke about Finnish life for a long time. They ensured you had a true Finnish experience. Highly recommend this local family group
