Although the premise of this experience is fantastic, my partner and I both had leaky dry suits which made this a wet and cold experience. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights during our float, but if they weren’t there this would not have been worth it. The hut was more a shack and we didn’t mind, but it was not well kept and seemed like just an obligation by staff. Would only recommend if your chance to see the lights is high and if you’re ok being on uncomfortable while you’re in the water.

Itinerary
In Ramfjord, only a 25-minute drive from Tromsø, we welcome you to our Arctic Floating Camp. Here we will let you immerse yourself in the Arctic Ocean, whilst enjoying the warm embrace of our top-of-the-line immersion rescue suits, which will keep you warm as you float into a near-weightless state. If you haven't tried this before it's certainly something you don't want to miss out on. Among a lot of great things to do in Tromsø, this is definitely one of those you'll remember for a lifetime. Joining our evening tours will give you the opportunity of cathing the Northern Lights while floating. If floating wasn't magical enough on its own, Mrs Aurora Borealis will improve to a point where there is no comparison.

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.
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 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 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!
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 - the floating is super relaxing, great views to the Stars and luckily also great northern lights. Engaged guides, good Snacks and unique expierence.
This was a fantastic experience. Floating in a frozen fjord was so relaxing. The tour leaders Mathieu and Fanny made this such an enjoyble time and were very helpful to my wife who has some mobility issues. They were so enthusiastic and supportive of everyone having a great time. We went during overcast rainy weather in Tromso and had some mild drizzle on our faces, but were blessed with the sky clearing over the fjord not long after we had changed out of our floatation suits. We had a spectacular display of the Northern Lights over the fjord! Thanks so much Fanny and Mattieu for making this such an awesome experiece.
We had a wonderful time ice floating! The team was super helpful and supportive. We were able to see some beautiful Aurora lights and had a very memorable experience! One of our favorite activities of the trip!
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!
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.
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.
On Monday the 7th, I took a tour that truly exceeded all my expectations. It involves floating in the waters of the Arctic Sea at night and I was surprised by the warmth and how professional the guides were, always guiding us to have a great adventure but safely. And if that were not enough, the auroras were seen in all their splendor. When we got out of the water, they had some delicious snacks with a beautiful bonfire and some good chocolate, plus the certificate with your name and date. I totally recommend this wonderful company and I assure you that floating in the darkness of the night and being able to see the auroras surpasses any reality. This tour was a great success and this company makes sure that your experience is unique and the photos were sent to us almost immediately. In short, I can only say that it was a magical night. Thank you!!
This tour was amazing! Floating in the Artic Ocean under the stars and auroras boreais was a once in a lifetime experience! I now can totally cross check this item off my bucket list! Special thanks to Ingvar who is an incredible and kind person.
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.
Another unforgettable experience! I was looking for do something special in Arctic Circle. Until I found this activity. Never think will flowing and earring Arctic Iceberg in Arctic Ocean. The guide is very helpful knowledge and teach how to chasing Northern Lights. No regret to join in tour.
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.
Unique experience and bonus sighting of Northern Lights. Warm cosy drinks and snacks afterwards. Photos provided.
This was such an amazing adventure and experience! Our guides were safe, friendly, fun and so accommodating. The artic survival suit keeps you warm and comfortable while floating, which feels so unique and weightless. We were lucky enough to see some auroras while floating. Some of our group was also able to ice fish. We were treated to delicious cinnamon rolls made over the fire and coffee and tea to finish off our wonderful evening. I highly recommend this adventure for anyone visiting Tromsø and hope to visit and do it again!
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.
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.
Is an AMAZING experience! One of a kind, definitely something we all need to try, lay down in the cold water but with all the protection and equipment to keep you safe, wow! I went with my boyfriend for my bday, that was a surprise and definitely I will remember this forever!
This experience was magic! It’s like nothing I have tried before. It’s hard to explain how good you feel when you are floating into the freezing water but in the warm suit and surrounded by piece of ice all around you. It’s like meditation! For one hour we stayed into the cold water, laying on our back and staring at the stars, listening to the silence of the Arctic and the sound of the ice. Magic!
Hat Spass gemacht.. sehr gute Organisation.. Bei uns hat es so richtig geschneit 😂.. wenn die Nordlichter tanzen ist das Floating magisch und maximal entspannend 🕉️
We found out about ice floating through Vervetadventures and were lucky enough to be four people. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the organizer even got us a cake - very thoughtful! The floating was great, you feel weightless and floating in the ice-cold water. You don't notice the cold much. We had perfect conditions and were even able to see the Northern Lights - an incredible experience! Afterwards there was hot chocolate, cookies and of course the delicious cake. A perfect evening!
Exceptional sensory experience. A must do. We were incredibly well received and reassured. Diving into Arctic waters from the ice floe at 8 p.m. is not something we do every day, but the supervision is truly top notch. Everything was perfect, thanks to Ingvar and Tor for this unforgettable moment.
Just an incredible moment! My favorite activity during my stay in Tromso. Super well organized: you arrive in a small, typical and cocooning cabin in which the wetsuits are stored. You can also go outside and warm up around a small fire while looking for the Northern Lights. Then, it’s time to go floating, to walk on the glacier. Then, the boss will serve you a delicious soup with bread that he has baked himself over the fire. A timeless activity off the beaten track. I highly recommend !
