A 6-hour Lapland Arctic day trip from Kemi to ride an icebreaker, walk on frozen sea ice, and swim in survival suits in the Bothnian Sea.
“This was one of the best experiences of my life! Floating in the Baltic Sea was such a surreal moment. It was mesmerizing watching the ship break through the ice. I never felt bored as there was plenty to do. There weren’t many people on our ship, and weren’t many who wanted to swim, so my husband and I were able to spend 20 minutes in the water before other guests started showing up. The captain was so friendly and had interesting information about how he operates the ship. The food was delicious- the Swedish flag on the mashed potatoes was a nice detail.”

“This is the one! Stop looking, nothing else will beat this experience. I went with my partner, my parents (65 and 73 years old) and my children (4 and 9 years old) and we all had the most magical experience. Damo is authentic, passionate, kind and informative. The dogs are his children and the love and care he provides them is evident. The husky ride itself was obviously the highlight- the feeling and the view will forever be ingrained in my mind. But it didn’t stop there- the hot drink was a great way to warm up and the hot donuts were enjoyed by all. My son went back out…”

2-hour night snowmobile safari from Kemi across frozen sea, possible northern lights, and a cozy campfire warm drink stop.
“Despite the instructor being very friendly and professional throughout the experience, this tour was not what was advertised. We booked this night snowmobile tour because it was described as being partly in the forest and partly on the frozen sea. However, the tour took place almost entirely on the open sea, riding in circles around the same area for most of the time. There was no forest riding at all. The scenery was very monotonous and, being fully exposed at night, it was much colder and windier than it would have been in the forest. When we asked about riding through the trees, we were told it wasn’t possible because…”

“Esperienza meravigliosa! si guida con le motoslitte in mezzo al golfo di botsnia completamente ghiacciato circondati da alberi innevati e il sole che che spunta fra gli alberi che crea degli incredibili giochi di luce. ci siamo fermati in un punto e abbiamo iniziato a trapanare per fare i buchi nel ghiaccio. la nostra guida, molto professionale, ci ha aiutato e sostenuto per tutto il tempo. ci ha acceso un fuocherello e ci ha riscaldato con un buonissimo succo caldo. consigliatissima!!”
