The food selection for bbq was done according to our preference and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Lucas went out of the way to share his Wi-Fi and download apps which would help us in our stay in Finland. The forest cycling and nature park gave us a very local experience. We would like to probably repeat something similar if time permits.”

Nonetheless, we had an amazing time. Everyone that was there at the same time we were was super nice. Robbie was a great guide and made sure we had a great experience. He guided us through the process of doing the hot and cold cycles with dipping into the frozen Baltic after some time in the Sauna. It really is an authentic experience and a great way to spend…”
