Very enjoyable experience. Well worth it!

5.00Wet enjoyable morning. Guide was great and reassuring. Suits were well maintained and clean. It was a surreal experience bobbing around near the ice in a freezing river. Not as cold as you would imagine and perfect if you are not brave enough for ice plunges or cold swimming! The pictures are hilarious when you are in your suit!
Extremely rude, unprofessional and sarcastic

1.00• Extremely rude and dismissive driver (Brandon) and unhelpful office staff • We were forced into the cramped back row of an otherwise empty vehicle for no valid reason • Our reasonable compromise (one person front, one back) was refused — later the office suggested the exact same solution after making us get out • I am tall and my knees were pressed into the seat in front; the adjustable middle row was not moved at all • I have video evidence of the lack of space, during which the driver responded with sarcastic smiling rather than addressing the issue • Staff claimed they had “no time to waste,” yet handled the situation in the most inefficient way possible Very uncomfortable and unprofessional experience with zero concern for customer comfort. Based on this interaction, I would not recommend this company. As a person of colour, I personally did not feel respected or welcome and would advise other travellers of colour to consider alternatives.
Superb and amazing guides

4.00It was a nice activity and interesting to float in a semi-iced lake. The suits are good and allow you to be in the water for extended period of time. Most of us went out after about half an hour. Our guide was excellent. We received the photos immediately the next day after requesting them by sending an email as instructed by our guide.

5.00Our friends took a girls trip to Finland and decided to include the ice floating in our itinerary. We didn’t know what to expect and had more fun than we realized we would. Santiago and the guys were so helpful in providing instructions and making everyone feel comfortable. I’m also glad they were able to take photos and videos so that we had memories of such a good time!
