Discover one of the most unforgettable Arctic experiences in Svalbard: the contrast between the soothing warmth of a traditional sauna and the refreshing shock of a polar plunge into icy Arctic waters. This experience also includes a short guided city tour of Longyearbyen, giving you a glimpse into the town’s unique atmosphere and life in the High Arctic.

What to expect

Your experience begins with a guided introduction to Longyearbyen, where you’ll learn about the town, its history, and daily life in the Arctic. After the city tour, you’ll head to the sauna to relax, warm up, and enjoy the contrast of heat in the polar climate.

For those ready for the challenge, the polar plunge offers a controlled and memorable dip into the freezing water, a bold and refreshing moment that makes this one of the most distinctive activities in Svalbard. It’s a fun and energizing experience that combines wellness, local insight, and Arctic adventure in one.

At the end of the tour, each participant receives an Arctic certificate as a reminder of their plunge into the High North.
