For those wanting something slightly more original than the husky sleds! We had a really nice experience, with guides Martin and Christian taking good care of us as well as getting us some nice pictures. They even got my slightly nervous 6 year old relaxed enough to try the water. She is now very proud of herself for 'swimming in the arctic'.
We were a group of 14, going in the lake in two smaller groups not to overcrowd the water. When waiting we saw the most amazing aurora's and got to take really beutiful pictures. Of course, that is a bit a matter of luck, some things con not be controlled, but the location is beautiful and gives you a good chance. Afterwards we got to warm up by the fire (from being outside, not from the water, one does not feel that cold). Hot drinks and some snacks provided.
I would just say be aware there is transport and changing etc involved, so do not expect to be floating for 2 hours or so (although I suspect that would be too cold for most anyway).
