Ice-floating Experience

We dare you to experience the Arctic Ice Floating!
The ice floating experience offers a serene and unique way to connect with the Arctic environment. Brave participants get insulated, waterproof suits that enable them to float effortlessly on the surface of a frozen lake or river. This activity is not only safe, thanks to the buoyancy of the suits, but also incredibly peaceful, as it allows individuals to lie back and gaze at the sky, surrounded by the tranquil sounds of nature. Hopefully under the glow of the Northern Lights, ice floating provides a moment of reflection and relaxation in the midst of the Arctic’s extreme conditions. It’s a memorable way to embrace the cold beauty of the north without feeling the chill of the icy waters.

Our tours often cross the border into Sweden or Norway, so it is advisable to bring a form of identification with you.
The best time to see the northern lights in Lapland is typically September, October, February, March, and early April. During these months, weather conditions are often favorable, and aurora activity tends to increase around the equinoxes. Clear skies and high geomagnetic activity during these times offer the best chance to witness the spectacular northern lights.
Both are the same tour, but with different ticket types. The Guaranteed ticket offers a money-back guarantee if we do not find the auroras (no photo proof, no payment).
Generally, we do not provide food or drinks on our tours. We recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks, as No Limits Tours can sometimes extend for long periods. Bringing warm beverages, such as hot cocoa, can be pleasant and help you stay warm. Our focus is 110% on finding the northern lights, so no food or drink is provided on the tour.
Weather conditions can affect the tour’s feasibility. If the weather is so bad that the tour is unsafe or impractical, we will offer alternative dates or possibly a full refund if the alternative dates do not work for you.
We offer a unique combination of expert guidance, a high success rate, and flexible tours. Additionally, our “Guaranteed” ticket type ensures you get your money back if you do not see the auroras. This sets us apart from other providers and gives you peace of mind.
We recommend booking the tour for your first day of arrival to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights. If weather conditions are unfavorable and we assess that the tour is not feasible, we can reschedule or offer alternative dates. This way, you ensure the best possible chance to experience the auroras.
