The excursion

Ice Floating – your personal challenge to the Arctic! Test yourself! An unforgettable adventure for the bold and brave! Ice Floating is a unique northern ritual where extreme experiences meet deep relaxation. Wearing a special waterproof suit, you will experience an incredible sense of weightlessness as you float on the surface of icy water. The harsh yet captivating Arctic landscapes will give you a feeling of complete unity with nature and unparalleled peace. This is more than swimming – it is a true reset for the soul and body. Thanks to the influence of the warm Gulf Stream current, the waters of Kola Bay are not frozen even in winter, making bathing accessible at any time of year. The water temperature in winter is approximately +2°C, even if the air temperature reaches -20°C. You can enjoy swimming both during the day and under the special mood of Arctic twilight. ⚠️ Age, height, and weight restrictions: 12+, 150-210 cm, up to 120 kg (by arrangement) Key details: Dates: Year-round (in summer, of course, without ice) Duration including briefing: about 2 hours (time by arrangement) Time in the water: about 40 minutes Location: 15 km from the center of Murmansk Group size: from 2 to 30 people Important information: - Age, height, and weight restrictions: 10+, 140-210 cm, up to 120 kg (by arrangement) - Hydro-suits are universal: suitable for clothing sizes up to 60, for heights from 140 to 210 cm.

Айс Флоатинг - ваш личный вызов Арктике! Испытайте себя! Незабываемое приключение для смелых и отважных! Айс Флоатинг - это уникальный северный ритуал, где экстрим встречается с глубоким релаксом. Облачившись в специальный непромокаемый костюм, вы испытаете невероятное чувство невесомости, паря на поверхности ледяной воды. Суровые, но завораживающие арктические пейзажи подарят ощущение полного единения с природой и неповторимого умиротворения. Это больше чем плавание - это настоящая перезагрузка для души и тела. Благодаря влиянию теплого течения Гольфстрим, воды Кольского залива не сковывает льдом даже зимой, что делает купание доступным в любое время года. Температура воды зимой составляет около +2C даже если температура воздуха достигает -20С. Наслаждаться плаванием можно как днём, так и под особым настроение арктических сумерек. ⚠️ Ограничения по возрасту, росту и весу: 12+, 150-210 см, до 120 кг (по согласованию) Ключевые детали: Даты проведения: Круглогодично (летом, конечно же, без льдов) Продолжительность с инструктажем: около 2 часов (время по согласованию) Время в воде: около 40 минут Место: 15 км от центра Мурманска Размер группы: от 2 до 30 человек Важная информация: - Ограничения по возрасту, росту и весу: 10+, 140-210 см, до 120 кг (по согласованию) - Гидрокостюмы универсальны: подходят для размера одежды до 60-го, на рост от 140 до 210 см.
