5.00Very unique experience and the guide also provided a lot of information about the region. Very friendly and helpful guide. I found a lot of photos taken by the guide with our own device, which was super useful. Finished with a nice drink.
Great activity and experience!

5.00We participated in ice-floating with a group of colleagues. What a great experience! And what a wonderful person Arto is. Very sincere and interested. Told us a lot about Finland, nature, Savonlinna and the Finnish lifestyle. In addition, a knowledgeable instructor. Finally, a nice Finnish hot drink. Thank you Arto! It was great!
Something to remember!

4.00Floating in front of the northenmost medieval stone castle still standing, the castle of Olavinlinna, in freezing winter weather looking at the sky and stars is an experience to remember! Even though it was -15C it was not cold at all, on the contrary, due to the fact that the current was quite strong and some swimming needed to be done upstreams. Afterwards Arto served us some hot juice which was nice.
