ABOUT

Are you ready for a true Arctic experience?

Join our unique Arctic evening fun dive on the coastline of Spitsbergen! Every evening during summer we host our Arctic Dive & BBQ. We will pick you up at your accommodation from 19:00hrs and we will drive out of town along the coastline before we reach our basecamp at the campsite.

​

Here you will get a bathrobe from us and we change clothes in the dressing room. You will get some information and instructions from our guide before we walk towards the water where the Isfjord and the Adventfjord come together. Our guide will measure both water and outside temperature to determine how long you will be able to stay in the water safely. Now the fun starts! We dive, swim, dip or even go all the way under! Our guide will be on guard for Polar bear protection, and will have some nice hot drinks ready for you, whilst you will be in your cosy bathrobe watching the midnight sun and enjoying the beautiful Arctic scenery. Back at our basecamp, you will be able to take a warm shower and change clothes again. We have warm showers in the dressing room and we have clean towels to use. After getting dressed we will have a nice BBQ buffet while we are able to enjoy the sight of birds nesting at the laguna close by. Our guide will tell you more about the different birds and keep your eyes open for spotting belugas if we are lucky! During the BBQ we will hand out your official Arctic bathing certificate! *Swimwear is not mandatory, and those who dare to jump in without it, will receive a unique certificate and will be added on the Arctic Naked Bathing Club Member list. Ready for it?! Vegan/vegetarian options are also available. Just leave a note in the remarks and we will take care of it!
