Kotatuli Experience offers an unforgettable summer day at Kotatuli Farm. The program includes a sauna and swimming with horses in a lovely Finnish natural setting by the lake.

The day starts when we pick you up from the Rovaniemi city center area and head towards Kotatuli Farm in Marrasjärvi. The drive takes about an hour, during which you’ll see the countryside and Finnish nature of Rovaniemi. Upon arrival at Kotatuli, you’ll get to meet the herd of horses and dogs.

We’ll introduce you to the traditional Finnish lakeside sauna and teach you about wood sauna practices. At the sauna, there will be cold drinks available, and the program includes towels, ecological cleaning products, and herbal foot baths. After some time in the sauna, we’ll bring a horse to the sauna, where you’ll be guided to mount the horse and experience what it’s like to sit on its back as it swims. The horse will be led by a Kotatuli staff member, and you won’t be steering the horse into the water.

After two hours of sauna and swimming we will take you back to Rovaniemi. This day is relaxing, yet you will also challenge yourself and experience exciting and unforgettable moments in nature, with animals, and the Arctic summer.
