Arctic Floating with Explore Harstad

Arctic Floating in Harstad offers a truly special way to experience the Arctic nature — safely and comfortably. Dressed in warm, waterproof thermal suits, you stay completely dry as you drift weightlessly on the surface of the water. The feeling of calm, silence, and weightlessness makes this activity perfect for relaxation, mindfulness, and connecting with nature.

Floating in the clear, cold water creates a deep sense of connection to the Arctic — an experience you won’t soon forget.

Three types of floating:

Arctic Urban Floating – a completely unique way to see the city from the sea. Here, you float gently in the calm harbor waters, surrounded by Harstad’s urban landscape and maritime atmosphere. With comfortable floating suits keeping you warm and dry, this activity is ideal for anyone looking to unwind, find inner peace, and experience Harstad’s coastal charm from a new perspective.

Arctic Floating & Seaside Sauna – combine your floating experience with the refreshing warmth of a traditional sea sauna in Harstad. After a peaceful float in the crisp Arctic waters, step straight into a heated sauna by the shore. This contrast between cold and warmth provides a genuine Nordic wellness experience — perfect for both body and mind.

Northern Lights Floating – for a truly magical experience, try floating under the Arctic night sky. As darkness falls, you slip into your floating suit and lie back on the still water beneath the stars. From here, you have an unobstructed view — the perfect place to wait for the dancing Aurora Borealis. Watching the northern lights from the water is an experience like no other, and one you’ll remember for life.

The price includes all necessary equipment.
A safety briefing is provided before the activity starts. Wear regular clothes underneath your floating suit.
