Really recommend. Fantastic experience although didn’t see the light because of the weather and the suit leaked a little
-
The experience of floating in the freezing arctic water was quite surreal. For the time in floating on the water, you just concentrate on floating and the surroundings. The team that took care of us was friendly and helpful. They helped me in and out of the drysuits and took photos and videos for me using my mobile phone. It would be good to bring a change of clothes just in case there are small leaks in the suit. Fortunately my drysuit was perfect but the 2 other ladies in my group had a soaking sock and another pants. We managed to see a faint Northern Light at the end of the activity.

Only six people in our group given nearing end of season, got plenty of time in the water which was nice and peaceful, the guides were very good and caring, highly recommend for trying it out

Great tour. Unfortunately didn't see the lights as it was overcast but thats the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. The fire in the Tipi was magic too.

Super Team und tolle Location. War ein einzigartiges Erlebnis auch ohne Nordlichter. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen. Top

i would have given this a 4 star but because our guide was not a good photographer. My friends and I could have taken better photos while we were doing our ice floating. Andrew was helpful with the guests especially to my friend. I would recommend that when guest is done. a rope or something a person can hold when climbing back to the ladder. Also, spend more time in the water and have your pictures taken individually or as a group while floating. OR, arrange among your friends/family to do it yourself.

Sehr lustige und freundliche Guides, Fahrer kennt kein Bremspedal ;), trotzdem sicher gefühlt. In unserer Gruppe von ca 15 Personen waren Kinder, mischt das ganze auf :) d.h. in den ersten 10 Minuten im Wasser war es sehr unruhig, Licht war noch an. Danach aber dunkel und entspannt. 😊 Mein Anzug war heute wahrscheinlich das letzte Mal im Einsatz, hatte feuchte Kleider nach dem Ausziehen - zur Sicherheit am Besten Ersatzkleider mitbringen. Ansonsten warme Zwiebelschicht/Baselayer anziehen (Keine Kapuze, da es ansonsten zu eng wird um den Kopfbereich. Alles in allem aber cooles Floating Erlebnis. ! Wichtig: Zeiten beachten, wir mussten 25 min vor der Startzeit bei safartica sein.

It was a unique experience. My mom and I really loved it. It’s so peaceful to just lay in a frozen lake, see almost nothing, besides the hoped for Northern Lights, and to hear nothing as well. It was wonderful. We would definitely do it again. Our guides, their names were Tommy and Mark I think, were very kind and helpful. They really made you feel safe to go into the water.

I actually wanted to try as it seems to be a must-do. The suit is quite tight and floating is not 'special'.

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 & we had to use wet suits already worn by the first group (4) tour started late - by about 20 mins - and ended early (and abruptly) Overall don’t find the tour worth the money I paid for
