Embark on a wonderful adventure in the Arctic Ocean off the coast of northern Norway on this Arctic fjord ice floating experience from Tromsø in Kvaløya! Ice floating allows you to experience diving into freezing waters with an insulated, warm suit that will protect you from the cold. Kvaløya, a beautiful island only 25 minutes from Tromsø, is perfect to try this wonderful activity, with its amazing mountain landscapes and even the chance to observe the Northern Lights during the winter seasons.
On the day of your ice floating experience in Kvaløya, you'll need to arrive at the Magic Ice Bar, in central Tromsø, where one of the 10xNorth instructors will pick you up to take you to Kvaløya. You can also arrive at Kvaløya directly if it's more convenient. Once you get to the 10xNorth headquarters, you'll be greeted by an instructor, who will explain the safety measures necessary for the activity and distribute the immersion suits, explaining how to put them on correctly.
Once you're all geared up, it's time to start! You'll step into the Arctic Ocean, accompanied by your expert local instructor. You don't need to know how to swim to participate in this activity because the suit will help you float with little to no effort. You'll float around with your loved ones or on your own, and observe the breathtaking landscapes that surround you. If you book an evening tour between September and April, you might even get to observe the Northern Lights. Finally, once you get out of the water, you'll be granted a formal diploma for the activity, and share a few hot drinks and snacks with your instructor before returning to Tromsø.
Keep in mind that temperatures in the Arctic can range from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, so to prepare for this wonderful ice floating experience from Tromsø, your instructor recommends bringing wool or thermal under layers, good middle layers, and a winter jacket that you can wear under the thermal suit if it's very cold. You can also bring extra clothes in case you get wet or are cold before and after the experience.
