Arctic Ice Floating & Sauna Experience

Experience ice floating on a frozen lake, exclusively with Xwander in the Inari region. This is a rare Arctic activity that combines floating in icy water, practical ice safety skills, and a traditional Finnish sauna in one balanced experience.

The adventure begins at our lakeside base with a safety briefing and fitting of a professional thermal survival suit. The suit keeps you dry, insulated, and fully buoyant, allowing you to float effortlessly without swimming skills.

Once on the ice, you step into the water and lean back into a surprisingly relaxing, weightless position. The suit supports your entire body, creating a calm floating sensation while you drift on the surface of the frozen lake.

During the experience, your guide also introduces the basics of ice safety. You will learn how ice thickness is measured, how to perform a self-rescue if you fall through ice, and how to assist someone safely. These practical skills can be life-saving in real winter conditions.

After floating, you can warm up in a traditional wood-heated sauna by the lake. Hot drinks and snacks are served as you relax and complete the experience. On evening departures, the Northern Lights may appear, adding a truly unique finishing touch to the experience.
