The water of the arctic fjords is crystal clear and inviting – although perhaps, for most people, a touch too cold. On your arctic floating excursion, however, you will be able to lay back and drift blissfully across the surface of the fjord whilst remaining completely warm and dry. You will embark with your local captain on a boat which brings you to a scenic location, either to the glacier or another beautiful spot in the fjord, depending on the weather.

As you wriggle into your full-body neoprene floatation suit, you may feel like an interstellar explorer about to climb into a spacecraft. This impression is strengthened as you slide into the water and drift on your back, gazing up at the bottomless sky above you. Whilst floating, you are more deeply immersed in the arctic wilderness than you have ever been before. Cradled between the walls of the valley, with the glacier rising above you, you cease to be a visitor, a guest in this exotic region: this is a way of belonging, completely, in the natural world.

From March to October it is possible to include Arctic Floating as part of a Fjord & Wildlife Cruise, for an additional cost.

Kindly note that on request, we can arrange for a private photography team to document your experience, both from the boat or by drone.
