Step by step
What to expect
01
Welcome at the container HQ
We invite you into our container HQ standing on an old shipyard at Vervet. Here we keep our suits and you may leave your personal belongings while we're out in the water.
02
Suit up with your guide
Your guide gives proper instructions and helps all floaters put on their immersion rescue suits, making sure everybody's ready to go into the water.
03
Enter the harbour
When it's time to enter the ocean, we go down the old shipyard's concrete ramp for a gentle descent into the calm harbour water.
04
Float — or jump
Lie back and float weightlessly with the city skyline around you. If you want that tickling feeling in your stomach, have a go at jumping from the docks into the water.
05
Warm up with a drink
After your aquatic adventure, we share a hot or cold drink back in our container Floating HQ before you head back into the city.
06
Walk back to your hotel
Back on shore, peel off the suit and continue your day in central Tromsø — no transfer needed.
