In my opinion, it was a really great once in a life time experience! You are paying approximately $666/night, which includes accommodation, food and activities. Ala carte activities when you book online from other providers are also quite pricey. The most important for me is actually the thermal clothing that they have provided. Finland can get very cold in the winter, averaging from -10+ to -20+ degrees, especially if we’re coming from Singapore, it is highly recommended that you wear the thermal clothing. Trust me, even if you look puffy and not fashionable, it is more important to be comfortable so you can fully enjoy the experience especially when doing the activities because 2hours in the cold and wind can be very unbearable if you’re not properly clothed.

We also managed to see the northern lights from our glass igloo and it was truly so magical! I was up till 3/4am looking at the Northern lights and stars. The room and shower is heated well so you do not have to worry as well. The only negative part is that the food provided weren’t that good, but that was not our priority anyway.
