Don a dry suit and slip beneath the surface of the Arctic Ocean off Grímsey — one of the most extreme and exhilarating snorkeling experiences on earth, guided by Arctic Trip's certified local instructors.
What to expect
After a full dry-suit briefing and fitting, you enter the crystalline Arctic Ocean alongside experienced local guides. Visibility is remarkable — the sub-polar waters are strikingly clear — and the sensation of floating at the very edge of the Arctic is genuinely awe-inspiring. Sea birds dive overhead as you float; below, the kelp forests and rock formations are otherworldly. Post-snorkel, warm up with hot drinks and stories from your guides.
Good to know
No prior snorkeling experience required; dry suits are provided and keep you warm. Minimum age typically 12; guests with certain health conditions should consult the operator. Allow approximately 2.5 hours including gear-up and debrief. Pre-book immediately upon confirming your ship's Grímsey call — slots are very limited.
