Diving down while wearing a dry suit is extremely challenging because dry suits are naturally buoyant, keeping you floating on the surface. If diving below the surface is what you’re after, we recommend using a wetsuit or a freediving suit instead. These suits are made from 7mm neoprene, providing excellent insulation to keep you warm even in cold waters. You’ll have the opportunity to choose the best option for your adventure before the tour begins, ensuring both comfort and an unforgettable experience!

Our dive and snorkel equipment is carefully selected from the world’s leading manufacturers, specifically designed for cold water conditions to ensure your comfort and safety.

We provide undergarments and dry suits from BARE and URSUIT SOFTDURA, which are both flexible and comfortable to wear. The front zipper design allows you to put on the suit independently, while the Quick Neck system offers the flexibility to use different neck seal sizes for a perfect fit. Paired with Ursuit XTreme underwear, made from breathable material with double insulation, this setup ensures maximum thermal comfort even in the coldest waters.

For those who prefer wetsuits, we offer AQUALUNG 7mm full-length wetsuits combined with 5mm short suits for added warmth.
For freedivers, we provide the Frivannsliv Evo2 7mm wetsuit, which is perfect for year-round freediving adventures.

To further protect you from the cold, we include 7mm neoprene hoods and 7mm three-fingered neoprene wet gloves to keep your head and hands warm. Additionally: fins, a mask, and a snorkel, so you will have everything you need to fully enjoy your underwater exploration.

Each season in the Lofoten Islands offers a unique and unforgettable snorkeling experience, making it a year-round destination for underwater explorers. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the water remains surprisingly mild for an Arctic location, creating the perfect environment to discover a rich underwater world teeming with fascinating marine life and stunning landscapes. If you’re ready for an Arctic adventure, Lofoten’s waters are calling!

Spring (April-June):
Spring is ideal for those seeking peaceful dives away from the crowds. As water temperatures rise to around 10°C, the underwater world begins to awaken, providing incredible opportunities for macro enthusiasts. While visibility may not be at its clearest, this season allows for close encounters with flourishing marine life and vibrant kelp forests. Above the surface, the landscapes bloom with life, adding a breathtaking backdrop to your Lofoten adventure.

Summer (July-August):
Summer is the most popular season for snorkeling and diving—and for good reason! The water reaches its warmest temperatures, up to 15°C, with abundant marine life and generally excellent visibility. The Midnight Sun grants nearly endless daylight, giving you more time to dive and explore the stunning islands. Though summer is the busiest season, the lush landscapes and thriving marine life make it absolutely worth it. Be sure to book in advance to secure your spot!

Autumn (September-October):
Autumn offers a quieter and more serene diving experience, with fewer crowds and landscapes glowing in golden hues. The water remains relatively warm, visibility stays clear, and the vast kelp forests are teeming with marine life. This season is considered the best time for advanced divers, with incredible wreck diving opportunities. However, keep in mind that weather can become unpredictable toward the end of October.

Winter (November-March):
Lofoten’s winter can be unpredictable, with clear, sunny days or wild storms bringing snow, rain, and wind all at once. But it’s also considered the best time for snorkeling and diving, offering incredible visibility of up to 40 meters and water temperatures ranging from 2-6°C. From early December to January, the region experiences the polar night, where the sun stays below the horizon. While it’s not completely dark, the lack of daylight means we’re unable to run tours during this period. Due to limited daylight and unpredictable weather, we are closed from December to mid-January.

No worries though—you can join us again in February when the weather stabilizes, and March still offers that magical, snowy winter vibe. Spring may take its time to arrive here, so enjoy the winter beauty while it lasts! 😊

Snorkeling in Lofoten is a safe and enjoyable activity for all skill levels, making it perfect for families and children eager to explore the underwater world. The minimum recommended age is 8 years old.

The water temperature varies throughout the year, offering unique experiences in every season. During the summer months, particularly in July and August, the water typically warms up to 12-15°C. Spring and autumn bring cooler conditions, with temperatures ranging from 6-10°C. In winter, the water temperature ranges from 2 to 6°C, offering a serene and unique environment for an unforgettable underwater experience. No matter the season our high-quality gear ensures you stay comfortable and fully enjoy the adventure!

We provide all the necessary snorkeling equipment, but here is what you should bring to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience:

In the Summer:

• A standard swimsuit, such as a bikini or swim trunks, to wear under the wetsuit.
• A towel.
• Flip-flops.
• Contact lenses if you wear glasses.
• Clothing appropriate for the current weather conditions.

Winter:

• Warm clothing, including a thermal base layer made of wool or fleece.
• Warm socks made of wool or fleece (avoid cotton as it retains moisture).
• A towel.
• A spare set of clothes and socks in case you get wet after the activity.
• Contact lenses if you wear glasses.
• Clothing suitable for the current weather conditions.

Additionally, make sure to remove all jewelry before going underwater, including earrings, necklaces, watches, wristbands, and rings, to avoid losing it or damaging the equipment.

We recommend wetsuits or freediving suits, especially during the summer and early autumn when the water temperature ranges from 10-15°C. Typically, no water will touch your skin, but if it does, your body will quickly warm it up. Keep in mind, diving and snorkeling in Lofoten’s waters aren’t quite like tropical destinations—but trust us, it’s all part of the adventure! It’s an epic, refreshing, and one-of-a-kind experience. That said, most people find the water perfectly comfortable with the right wetsuit!
