Winter snorkeling was a unique experience! We felt completely comfortable and safe, and thanks to the dry suits it was not cold at all. The underwater world is very impressive, especially the Kelp Forest.

Unique experience to snorkel in 5 degree cold water:) The seagrass fields are very impressive and the water was clear despite the wind

What a walk! We snorkled around the tar forest and saw the vibrant life. It is recommended for everyone. No previous experience is required.

Had the pleasure of joining us on an organized snorkeling trip, and it was just incredibly good! Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable guide and instructor. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making the whole experience safe and pleasant – even for those who do not have much snorkeling experience from before. We visited several different places with crystal clear water and saw an impressive diversity in the ocean. The equipment was in top condition, the boat trip out to the snorkeling areas was pleasant. All in all a perfect day on the water. I can really recommend this snorkeling tour to anyone who wants to explore life under the sea surface.

Fantastic trip out with Daniel! Superb weather helped of course well, but Daniel was an excellent host and guide. The preparations were clear and professional, and we felt completely safe and cared for! This is recommended to really experience Lofoten in a unique way 😀☀️

Lofoten Diving in Ballstad had me snorkeling in Arctic waters, which I thought would be a one-way ticket to Popsicle Town! But wetsuits are magic, folks. Floating above swaying sea kelp and urchins that looked like grumpy hedgehogs was surreal. The sea-life? Stunning—like an underwater art gallery curated by Poseidon himself. 10/10, would shiver again!
