About the activity

The Lofoten Archipelago is world-renowned for its stunning landscapes, majestic fjords, and diverse species of wildlife, both on land and sea. Located in Northern Norway, within the Arctic Circle, during the winter, these amazing landscapes tend to be snow-covered, making the views absolutely majestic. For those seeking an underwater excursion like none other in Lofoten, this activity is for you! No prior snorkelling experience is necessary.

Your snorkelling adventure in the Lofoten Archipelago begins at the Lofoten Diving base in Ballstad, where you will be greeted by your experienced instructor. They will provide a safety and itinerary briefing before giving you all the equipment you need for the excursion, including a dry suit, warm undergarment, fins, mask, tuba, hood, and gloves.

Once everyone is all geared up, you'll set off via RIB (rigid inflatable boat) with your instructor to the best snorkelling spots in the Lofoten Archipelago. After you've arrived, your instructor will give an introduction to snorkelling and snorkelling techniques. Next it's time to plunge! Dive into Arctic waters for about an hour in the company of your instructor who is happy to point out different aquatic species. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, you may see kelp forests, sea urchins, starfish, jellyfish, and an array of big fish and crabs.

At the end of your snorkelling excursion in the Lofoten Archipelago, you'll be taken back by RIB to the original departure point in Ballstad. Back at the base, you'll change out of your snorkelling gear and will be treated to a hot cup of coffee or tea. Warmed up and refreshed, you'll head back to your accommodations with amazing memories of your winter snorkelling experience in Lofoten!

Don't miss out on a unique, fun, and educational experience in the incredible snowy landscapes of northern Norway. Book your winter Arctic snorkelling excursion in the Lofoten Archipelago from Ballstad today!
