With the help of your guide, you put on a flotating suit. He gives you instructions on what you need to know for safe rafting.

A Finnish wellness ritual
A traditional Finnish sauna session includes a treatment with ”Vihta” (= birch whisk). It promotes blood circulation in the body and refreshes the skin. Afterwards, you jump into the lake or relax in the jacuzzi.
Dinner in the hotel restaurant.



Day 3 A night with the brown bears
After breakfast, you will go on a three-hour guided fat bike tour on paths and routes of varying difficulty levels. The fresh air and contact with nature is pure relaxation.
In the afternoon, you will be taken to the wild camp, where you will be informed about the schedule for the coming night. You will spend the night in safe observation huts, alone, in pairs or in a small group. Imagine how you will feel when a majestic bear suddenly appears in its natural environment. A goosebumps-inducing moment that you will never forget!
Take the opportunity to take spectacular photos – maybe even the best of your life! In addition to bears, with a little luck you can also spot shy wolverines and mysterious wolves.
Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages are prohibited in the bear huts!
Day 4
Experience the “smoke sauna” followed by a salmon meal. After you return to the hotel, you have the day free for optional activities or to relax. In the evening, your guide will take you to a smoke sauna. The sauna is heated for hours with the windows and door closed. When the temperature is high enough, you briefly ventilate and the unique sauna pleasure begins. The interior walls are pitch black and it smells of smoke. If you don’t want to come out with a black body, you have to position yourself so that you don’t touch the walls. The sauna is right on the beach. After the sauna, you walk to a fireplace where your guide will prepare salmon for you on an open fire. Enjoy your last evening in Finland.
Day 5
After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye.
