Global Seed Vault Hike in Blomsterdalen
Our adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation, setting the stage for an immersive experience ahead. As we set out on foot, our path leads us towards the summit of Blomsterdalshøgda, offering panoramic views of Adventfjorden and the surrounding landscape. Along the way, we encounter remnants of Svalbard's mining legacy, including the iconic cable car trestles and the historic Mine 3
At the pinnacle of our journey stands the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, nestled deep within the mountain. While we won't venture inside on this tour, our guide will illuminate the significance of this extraordinary facility, which serves as a vital safeguard for the world's agricultural biodiversity
Captains Favourite Coastal Boat Trip
Every month in Svalbard brings its own charm. A journey under the midnight sun in May differs from one as the polar night descends in October. Early in the season, snow blankets the mountains, and fjords may still be adorned with sea ice. From June onward, the landscape transforms, bursting with vibrant hues of green and yellow. Wildlife sightings are a possibility, from reindeer and seals to whales, and if we're exceptionally lucky, polar bears may grace us with their presence. Along the way, we'll pass cultural landmarks and historical sites, ensuring an unforgettable sensory experience guided by our knowledgeable staff.
You'll embark on this voyage aboard the hybrid electric catamaran MS Bard. Engineered to minimize noise and vibration, this vessel brings you closer to nature while minimizing disturbance to the surrounding wildlife

Isfjord Safari to find Atlantic Puffins
We'll navigate the fjords, heading eastward. From May to the end of July, the fjord areas are teeming with migratory birds from all corners of the globe. With a bit of luck, you may even catch a glimpse of a whale along the way. Our ultimate destination is the bird cliff Diabas, renowned for its vibrant birdlife. Here, we'll encounter numerous breeding pairs of Atlantic Puffins, as well as a multitude of Brünnich’s Guillemots.
Dinner Cruise Under the Midnight Sun
From April to August, Svalbard experiences 24-hour sunlight. The sun shines brightly both day and night, creating an unusual and captivating experience. On this evening tour, we'll sail out on Isfjorden, cruising past endless mountain vistas. Alongside a delicious dinner in these stunning surroundings, there's a good chance you'll spot some wildlife. The fjords are typically teeming with seabirds, and if we're lucky, we might even see a whale or two.
