It was an amazing experience to be able to float in cold water under the beautiful sky. Ingvar, the tour operator was professional, friendly and helpful. I will recommend that more people need to know the availability of such tours.

Overall, highly...

Melissa_A, Feb 2026

Overall, highly recommended, a great experience !! but there are a few areas that could be improved: The tour should be longer, as the time it takes to put on the suits reduces the actual time spent in the water, and in the end, you get very little time to enjoy the experience. The suits and thermal layers provided should be cleaner. We found them dirty, and since they come into contact with your skin in certain areas, they should be better cleaned for hygiene reasons.

Not worth the money.

Wendy_L, Feb 2026

Expensive for the experience had. Guide was not engaged and actually rude. On phone the whole time, raw cinnamon rolls served so inedible. Gutted post this trip as very disappointed.

Amazing, once in a lifetime experience

Marcel_A, Dec 2025

Amazing experience! We’ve been relaxing warmly for almost an hour, with northern lights and shooting stars. Cheers to Mathieu!!

This is a must thing to...

HaThuong_N, Mar 2025

This is a must thing to do while being in Tromso! I had so much fun and this experience is so unique. Our guide on 20/03 was a French girl (I am sorry for not remembering the name) and she was so devoted. She took a great care and pictures for us! Thank you so much for making our activity so memorable!

Unique, fun experience!

Ryan_H, Mar 2025

Incredible experience. Don't pass this up. When and where would you ever do this again? It was a short 20 minute drive to the fjord cabin and we had a great time getting into the gear and getting into the water. We stayed much warmer than we thought! We also got to see the lights while we were floating which was really cool!

Great expierence, Chance for the northern lights

Christopher_B, Feb 2025

A Magical and Safe Arctic Floating Adventure!

Cheryl_O, Dec 2024

The Arctic Ocean Night Float was a magical and unforgettable experience! The guides ensured everything felt safe from start to finish, providing excellent communication before, during, and after the adventure. They supplied soft, warm overalls to layer over your clothes and under the dry float suit—pro tip: keep your snow pants on for extra warmth! Floating under the Arctic night sky, surrounded by pieces of ice, was surreal yet completely safe. The guides also captured incredible photos of everyone, included at no extra charge. While you can float for up to an hour, most of us warmed up by the fire after about 30 minutes, enjoying delicious fire-warmed cinnamon buns and hot cocoa or relaxing inside the cozy cabin. Pickup and drop-off were punctual and smooth, even through heavy snow, making the 25-minute ride stress-free. With a small group of just eight, this is an extraordinary and breathtaking experience we very highly recommend!

Great time for a solo traveler!

Nick_A, Nov 2024

This was such a great, unique experience. While we weren’t able to see the Northern Lights, we got to experience a beautiful snowfall. After, we had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls cooked over an open fire.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for Floating! We're really happy you enjoyed the tour.

Wonderful

Donna_H, Oct 2024

Fabulous experience. Other worldly. Didn’t get cold in this suit. A bucket list adventure. A cool way to see the lights away from city plight pollution.

Amazing

Thank you so much for your kind words! We really enjoy the tours ourselves, and it seems as if the same thing goes for our guests as well. I had a great time going out with you as well! Be sure to let us know if you come back to Tromsø at again.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Kristin_N, Jan 2024

This was a once in a lifetime experience! The short 20 minute drive from tromso was beautiful. The suits kept you pretty warm and the views while floating were unbelievable and majestic. So peaceful. Afterward we had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls off the fire. It was extremely cold so I sat inside the cabin but there was a nice fire and seats around Ingvar was amazing. He even stayed outside to watch for the northern lights and came in to tell us they were out! Definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you so much for your kind review and for coming out to float with us, Kristin! We're so happy that we made it worth it!

Must do!

Katie_H, Dec 2023

Amazing experience like nothing else. So relaxing floating in the water. Our whole family enjoyed the experience including the hot cinnamon acrolls cooked on the fire after our float.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

A little late, but thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're happy that you had a good time with us.

Once in a lifetime experience

Marc_D, Nov 2023

This was an amazing experience from beginning to end. It was a perfect mix of being exciting, fun, and once you start floating it is very relaxing. It’s a once in a lifetime experience to be floating under the stars and northern lights with the ice all around you. If you’re worried about it being scary or cold- it isn’t. You are aware that the water around you is cold, but it’s not uncomfortable at all. The warm cinnamon buns by the fire afterwards were a perfect end to the night. I highly recommend this very unique experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you so much for the kind review, Marc! And thank you for Floating!

Einmal etwas anderes… 😀

Manuela_R, Nov 2024
