Amazing experience. Sara was our guide and she was great, very quick to get our kit on and ready to go. They provide all the kit, you just get ready on the bench steps in the meeting point. Sara explained everything in detail and helped us through the route. It is cold but not as cold as you expect - until you get out! The hot chocolate was a very nice touch, warmed me right up! Photos are included for everyone and uploaded the same day.

Was recommended this activity by someone on the plane and was able to book an 8am slot with my sister and nephew, despite only being in town for a short time! Amazing experience. Grateful for our tour guide, Henry - he was very friendly and was especially great with my 12 year old nephew who was a bit nervous despite being a good swimmer. This is a one of a kind experience, for sure. The water was cold but you wear a dry suit, which is very buoyant and makes it difficult to swim down below the surface.

Thank you Henry and the Arctic Adventures team for a fantastic experience!

This experience was amazing and would definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys the water. The dry suit you put on does a great job of keeping the water out. The coldest part of your body will be your lips and feet. Even that though is not so bad. Also the dry suit has an air pocket to keep you floating. If you are not a strong swimmer, you should be fine with the suit and flippers. Martin was our tour guide and he was great and made the experience so much better.
