5.00Wow! This was beyond anything I could have imagined. Once we arrived in Tromso, my family was apprehensive about doing this arctic float - it was sooo cold outside, and the idea of suiting up to be in the 34 degree water was not appealing at all. But, we grudgingly went. And we are so glad we did! We all rated this our favorite activity of the trip. It's so relaxing being in the water, and somehow, we stayed warm throughout. Here are the questions I had before going, hopefully this review clears it up for you: --we wore a base layer and mid layer there and doubled up on socks. They give you another pair of socks + a wool onesie + a heavy duty survival suit that is not supposed to let water in. Just make sure all the straps are secured everywhere! --the idea of a night swim is cool if you can see the northern lights. We could only book the day one, which turned out to be great bc pictures (they take them!) come out better, and we had a great view of the city --we wanted the trip that was out in the middle of the ocean, but it was all booked up, so we settled for the city docks version. That ended up being awesome. The differences - city docks scenery is prob not as nice, but you can float around more bc there is less ice. And you get to jump from a dock into the ocean if that exites you (I did not care to do this but the rest of my family did). If you want that picture where you are surrounded by ice floes, that is only in the other trip. Juan was a great guide, and we 100% recommend doing this! I HATE being cold, but surprisingly this ended up being the activity where we felt the warmest haha.
Fun experience

5.00I love swimming in open water so this was an opportunity I was keen to grab. I also love cold water swimming, but wearing the insulating layers and floatation suit I couldn't feel the cold at all- it was like swimming whilst wrapped in a high tog duvet. I loved the tranquility of watching the mountains, but there is the option to jump off the harbour wall if you prefer more action. Loved it, would go again!
