Taste a selection of locally inspired Arctic delicacies while hearing stories about Finnish food traditions, nature and life on the Arctic coast. - [Arctic Husky Adventure](https://aurorasearesort.fi/experiences/arctic-husky-adventure/): We'll begin by gathering at the safari house to dress up in warm winter clothing. After dressing up we hop in the car for a short transfer to the husky kennel. The kennel staff will give you safety instructions and show you the ropes on how to handle a dog sled. This is a self driving safari where two people share a sled taking turns mushing. The 5km trail runs over the frozen lands, swamps and the pure nature of Sea Lapland.

Explore the surrounding nature at a relaxed pace before warming up around an open fire with traditional Finnish refreshments. - [Aurora Sleigh Ride on the Frozen Sea](https://aurorasearesort.fi/experiences/aurora-sleigh-ride-on-the-frozen-sea/): Join us on a spectacular adventure on the frozen sea to observe the stunning, peaceful nature. Keep your camera ready as Auroras can appear quickly in the sky. One of the most stunning phenomena of winter nature is the Northern Lights dancing in the northern skies. Seeing the Northern Lights and the bright starry sky in cities and near roads is increasingly difficult due to light pollution. On the sea ice, there are fewer light sources, so on a clear evening or night, you can observe a truly interesting sky. The excursion will be tailored to you and your group, so you can enjoy the natural surroundings and the atmosphere created by the darkness in complete tranquility. The excursion proceeds by snowmobile and sleigh to an area suitable for observing the sky, and where we can admire the sea and the nearby islands in the sunset light. Searching for Northern Lights requires stopping for a moment, so there's no rush to get anywhere. You'll need to be careful though, as once the fires appear in the sky they can fade very quickly. Remember that even on a clear night, the Northern Lights will not appear every time. On the other hand, when sky activity is high, it can be cloudy. So we also need luck. If the ice conditions don't allow sledging, we can make the trip on foot. The location will be chosen according to the snow and ice conditions. - [Aurora Walk by the Frozen sea](https://aurorasearesort.fi/experiences/aurora-walk-by-the-frozen-sea/): Follow a guided trail through the Arctic night to a traditional laavu shelter overlooking the frozen Bothnian Bay.

This private sauna experience is designed for those seeking an authentic and unhurried way to experience Finnish sauna culture, centered around a traditional Finnish smoke sauna.

Guests can relax between sauna sessions in Haapa Studio, where refreshments are served.

The rhythm of heat, rest, and cooling down creates a calm and unhurried flow, allowing guests to fully relax. Time is intentionally set aside not only for sauna, but also for relaxing and enjoying the snowy coastal surroundings. The experience is completed with a traditional Finnish washing ritual using warm and cold water. Guests may also step outside to cool down in the crisp winter air and enjoy the snowy surroundings.
