Experience Fjord Floating

Fjord Floating – A Magical Winter Adventure on the Hardangerfjord

Welcome to a winter experience like no other — with Fjord Floating from Hardangerfjord Adventure. Drift weightlessly on the icy waters of the Hardangerfjord, wrapped warm and secure in a professional immersion suit. Surrounded by snow‑clad mountains and mirrored fjord waters, Fjord Floating offers serenity, beauty, and deep connection with nature — no prior experience needed.

What is Fjord Floating?

Fjord Floating is a tranquil winter activity where you float effortlessly on the fjord’s calm waters, wearing an insulated immersion suit that keeps you warm, dry, and buoyant, even in cold conditions. You simply lean back, let yourself float, and soak in the stillness, the panoramic fjord landscape, and the quiet of winter.

Key Features That Make It Special

• Safe and relaxed – High‑quality insulated immersion suits ensure buoyancy and thermal protection. You don’t need to be a swimmer. 
• Winter calm & silence – Experience the fjord at its most peaceful: snow‑covered mountains, glass‑like water, and near‑total quiet. 
• Small-group, personal vibe – Ideal for couples, families, or solo travellers looking for a calm, reflective moment. 
• Picture‑perfect views – The fjord framed by snow and sky creates magical reflections, perfect for photographs and lasting memories. 
  

How Fjord Floating Works – Your Experience

1. Suit up — On arrival in Norheimsund, we help you into a unsulated immersion suit, hood and gloves, and make sure everything fits comfortably. 
2. Float & relax — Lean back and let yourself drift. Breathe deeply, take in the fjord air and the mountain silhouettes, and enjoy the calm. Most people float for 20–30 minutes, but you set the pace. 
3. Warm‑up & unwind — After floating you change out of your suit, warm up, and — depending on your plan — maybe pair with a hot drink, sauna or other winter activity. 

Duration: 

About 1.25 hours including briefing and changing. Combined with RIB 2.5 hours

Minimum age: 

13 years. 

Why Fjord Floating Is a Perfect Winter Activity

• Reconnect with nature in silence and stillness. The fjord during winter offers a rare quiet and contemplative environment — perfect for slowing down, reflecting, or simply breathing in the beauty.
• Unique contrast: cold water, warm suit, inner peace. Floating in cold fjord water might sound daring — but inside our insulated suit you stay warm and dry. It’s a contrast that makes the experience almost meditative.
• Accessible for almost everyone. No prior swimming skills needed and the experience is safe and guided — ideal even for beginners or families.
• Photo‑worthy fjord landscapes. Snowy peaks, mirror water surfaces and fjord reflections — magical visuals that stand out on social media and in memories alike.
  

Combine Fjord Floating With Other Hardangerfjord Adventure Winter Experiences

Fjord Floating is part of a broader winter programme offered by Hardangerfjord Adventure. If you like, you can combine it with:

• Guided snowshoe hikes — explore snowy mountain trails and enjoy panoramic views of the fjord and surrounding peaks. 
• Winter RIB‑safaris — for those who crave a bit more adrenaline, we offer RIB tours during winter, where you navigate fjords, cliffs, and waterfalls by boat before floating or instead of floating. 

This makes Fjord Floating ideal as a standalone peaceful retreat — or as part of a full winter adventure package.

• Nature lovers seeking calm, winter‑fjord tranquillity
• Couples, friends or solo travellers wanting a unique, peaceful experience
