About this experience
Enjoy the Midnight sun of Lapland in a peaceful forest outside of Rovaniemi away from the city noise. We drive off from the city to reach a wilderness lake in the middle of the forest where we can enjoy the view and the sun doesn't set. Relax and float peacefully in the middle of an arctic lake while gazing the sky, listen to the birds singing and experience the Lappish nature of Rovaniemi from an exclusive perspective. Dressed up in rescue floating suites we stay warm and dry when entering the lake.
Our guide prepares hot drinks by an open fire and we will toast for the midnight sun. With a rested mind we head back to the city of Rovaniemi.
