Choose elk, Arctic salmon, chicken, or vegan falafel. English and Finnish guides lead small groups of up to 12.

“We felt that the overall experience was excellent and the Ice Hotel and snow sauna were very unique experiences. However, we were asked to be at the meeting point 1/2 hour prior to the start of the experience. That seemed somewhat excessive, but we were willing to do that to prevent any unnecessary delays. But when the bus transporting us came 15 to 20 minutes late, it meant that we had to stand out in the cold for approximately 45 minutes for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If you are going to demand punctuality from your guests, you should make sure that the transportation is punctual as well.Read more”

“Had a great day, thank you to Luca who was our fabulous guide for the day. The riding was not too strenuous but also enough to balance the sightseeing element(s), as I wanted an active day rather than just sight-seeing. I got to try and e-bike which I would not otherwise have had chance to do. Lucas was patient (we got lost on the way to the start and he kindly waited for us), knowledgeable and tailored each aspect to the individuals in the group - the food he bought for the BBQ (I am Vegan and he catered for this) and also which sauna the group visited.
