Tromsø city center Urban Floating experience

1.Tromsø city center Urban Floating experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 220 reviews · 2 hours · from $103Our pick

Meet Authentic North at Vervet in central Tromsø for a safety briefing, then spend about 90 minutes floating in the harbour in a professional rescue suit. Guides such as Mathieu, Sarah, and Ingvar are known for calm instruction and photos. Choose peaceful floating or a 2 to 3 meter dock jump.

“We went as a family of three and didn’t really know what to expect. The description of this activity sounded really interesting. When we went there, we were the only ones. We got dressed in these funny suits and during the entire program our guide was super friendly. The feeling of floating in the water is very relaxing and peaceful. We were lucky to have such a great guide! Would definitely recommend.”
