Icebreaker Tour – 2 hours plus guided transfer
Icebreaker Tour – 2 hours plus guided transfer
Icebreakers are an important part of our arctic life keeping the shipping lanes open for ships along the Baltic coast. An Icebreaker adventure can be booked from Brandon or Pine Bay Lodge. We take an approximately one hour drive to Piteå where the icebreaker waits in harbour. You will experience the power of these ships as it breaks the ice and then when it stops you have the opportunity to wear a marine survival suit and take a swim in the frozen sea behind the ship. The tour takes about two hours, starting at 10 am and finishing at 12 noon on 2 to 3 days each week. There is tea and coffee about the ship and we have a transfer from Brändön Lodge or Pine Bay Lodge on each day that the icebreaker is open for passengers. The Pick up time from Brändön Lodge or Pine Bay Lodge is 08:15 each morning and the guided transfer will return to the lodge at approximately 13:15
It is important when booking online that you choose the correct rate for the guided transfer that will pick you up and drop you back to Pine Bay Lodge or Brändön Lodge.
