3 Snorkeling Tours in Scandinavia, With the Price and the Catch

1.Lofoten Unique Snorkeling Experience in Dry Suit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 40 reviews · from $160Our pick

Meet Daniel and the Lofoten Diving team in Ballstad for a three-hour winter snorkel by RIB boat. You will receive a dry suit, mask, snorkel, and expert instruction before exploring clear Arctic water, kelp forests, crabs, urchins, jellyfish, and fish. The small group holds no more than eight people, and coffee or tea awaits afterward.

“Lofoten Diving in Ballstad had me snorkeling in Arctic waters, which I thought would be a one-way ticket to Popsicle Town! But wetsuits are magic, folks. Floating above swaying sea kelp and urchins that looked like grumpy hedgehogs was surreal. The sea-life? Stunning—like an underwater art gallery curated by Poseidon himself. 10/10, would shiver again!”

“We only saw a few seals, but had already decided we were having a great time before we saw them! Snorkeling in the comfort of dry suits in the arctic circle was such a unique experience - cool kelp forests with fish, jellyfish, crabs, starfish and more. Guides were wonderful.”
