About this experience

Experience floating in icy waters without the cold, even if you can’t swim. Drift weightlessly in the Baltic, hike in a Viking forest, and enjoy fire-cooked Swedish flavors in one unforgettable day.

Step into Bogesund’s nature reserve and feel the crunch of forest paths under your boots as golden light filters through mossy “troll forests.” Few visitors ever set foot here, but this wild Viking land holds secrets you can only uncover on its trails. Breathe in earthy scents, spot glimpses of wildlife, and take in sweeping views that once guided Vikings. Around the fire, savor rustic meatballs cooked over open flames and learn simple fire-making tricks, then enjoy a traditional Swedish fika with coffee and pastries. Finally, slip into a floating suit and drift weightlessly in the cool, glassy Baltic waters — a sensation that’s impossible to describe until you’ve tried it yourself, leaving you with rosy cheeks, a clear mind, and a memory of something truly extraordinary.
