“Wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Great walk through the park, foraging for mushrooms, lunch made for us and then sauna and lake swims. Came back to Helsinki satisfied, tired and having made great memories. Jeff and crew at Taiga Times did a fantastic job!”
Sauna on an Arctic lake, ice swimming, smoked salmon dinner, and a chance at Northern Lights from Rovaniemi, with hotel pickup included.
“We had a great evening! We were very carefully explained the « procedure » for a traditional sauna and how to prepare for the ice bath. It was quite the experience! We were anxious at first but we were very happy to have done it. The meal afterwards was delicious, and we had a very nice chat with the owners. Unfortunately we didn’t see northern lights as the activity was quite low and there were a lot of clouds, but we knew this was only a matter of luck so it didn’t bother us. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely fabulous in every way. Victor was a terrific host as was the entire team. I have never ever had fish than tasted so good. The sauna and the cold water and snow were unforgettable. If you are reading this now, I promise you will love it if you go. Worth the trip all the way from Australia just to experience this and meet these lovely hosts. The best of Rovaniemi.”

The vegan burger is also delicious!”
A private Finnish sauna and outdoor jacuzzi by a Rovaniemi lake, finished with dinner in an old Lapland cottage. Private group, 3.5 hours.
“It was a great experience overall. Best thing about the activity was extreme privacy. You are literally by your own. Andreas was great throughout our pick up to the property.

We had overall 3.5 hours including transportation to and fro our hotel. Definitely recommended.”

“Obiekt z saunami klimatyczny. Pośród lasu nad jeziorem. Sauny dobrze przygotowane. Co potrzebne dostaliśmy. Klapki, szlafroki, napoje, ciastka itd. Wyruszyliśmy ze sporym opóźnieniem. Na miejscu dostaliśmy saunę najbliżej wejścia do jeziora. Wejście do wody jest tylko 1! Od każdej sauny prowadzi ścieżka do 1 wspólnego zejścia, a niektóre sauny są dość mocno oddalone od wejścia, więc zdążysz się wyziębić, zanim wejdziesz do wody. Ogłoszenie wygląda na bardzo prywatne. W rzeczywistości tak nie jest. Jedziemy grupą i na miejscu przydzielają sauny. Sauna przy samej wodzie była super, ale wszyscy uczestnicy kręcą się w okolicy, aby skorzystać z 1 wejścia do jeziora. Odbiór i odwóz niestety tylko ...”
