Sledding tour - November and December

Your journey commences as your guide collects you from your hotel and escorts you to the kennel, nestled approximately 10 kilometers outside of town. Here, you'll be outfitted with warm attire, including overalls, boots, hats, gloves, and buffs, before being introduced to our exuberant furry companions. If snow blankets the ground, we'll embark on a thrilling sled ride into one of the nearby valleys. However, if snowfall is scarce, our adventure unfolds on wheeled carts amidst the majestic Adventdalen.

Spanning from November to January, the polar night casts an enchanting spell over Svalbard, providing an ideal backdrop for spotting the mesmerizing northern lights. During this period, Svalbard boasts a unique distinction as the only place on Earth where the auroras may grace the daytime skies. In the secluded valleys, shielded from urban light pollution, the odds of witnessing this celestial spectacle are heightened. Yet, whether or not the northern lights grace us with their presence, the huskies are elated to romp and roam the wilderness alongside you.

Northern Lights Hunting With Snowcat

As our distinctive snowcat arrives to collect you, its imposing presence contrasts with the vastness of the surrounding wilderness, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey. Led by our experienced guide, you'll depart Longyearbyen and leave behind the artificial lights, immersing yourselves in the mysterious darkness of the wild.

Traversing the frozen expanse of Adventdalen, our snowcat will make several stops along the way, providing ample opportunities to gaze at the night sky in search of the elusive northern lights. While seated in the snowcat's cozy interior, equipped with heated seats for added comfort, you'll have the chance to step outside during stops and marvel at the Arctic landscape.

While sightings of the northern lights cannot be guaranteed, the experience of venturing into the silent majesty of the valley and feeling the power of nature in Svalbard is a journey in itself. Bundle up warmly and join us for a magical evening as we seek out the celestial dance of the aurora borealis amidst the enchanting Arctic wilderness.

Hike to the Ice Cave - Icy Adventure

The trek to the glacier and the entrance of the ice cave typically takes around two hours, encompassing an ascent of approximately 350 meters. Meandering through the snow-covered terrain, with the towering peaks of Svalbard's vast mountain landscape as our backdrop, offers a serene perspective of nature's grandeur. The tranquil expanse of pristine snow against the undulating slopes of the moraine is truly a sight to behold. But the real adventure lies ahead!

Upon reaching the glacier's entrance, your guide will equip you with a helmet, crampons to affix to your shoes, and a headlamp. The descent into the ice cave may vary each year, often beginning with narrow passageways. We proceed with caution, taking our time to navigate through this captivating underground realm adorned with shimmering ice formations, pristine snow, expansive chambers, and snug passages. It's fascinating to contemplate that we're traversing through meltwater channels sculpted by the previous summer's snow and ice melt.

Northern Lights Evening

A bus will collect you from your hotel. As we leave the town and drive through the expansive Adventdalen (the ‘Advent Valley’), anticipation builds. The towering mountains on either side of the valley are like looming giants, barely visible in the polar night. What awaits us at the end of the road?

After a 10-15 minute drive, we arrive at Camp Barentz, a small collection of cabins, including a replica of the cabin where Willem Barentz, the discoverer of Svalbard, spent the winter of 1596 on Novaya Zemlya. Our knowledgeable host for the evening, equipped with polar bear protection due to the cabin's location outside town, warmly greets us. Inside, around a large campfire, we are served drinks, a delicious homemade reindeer bidos, coffee, and dessert. Following the meal, our host will share information and photographs about the northern lights, explaining this amazing phenomenon as we sit around the fire.

At Camp Barentz, far from the artificial lights of town, conditions are ideal for viewing the northern lights. With some luck, we may conclude the evening by witnessing this spectacle firsthand in the sky outside. Then, the bus will pick us up for our return to Longyearbyen.

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.

Northern Lights Hunting With Electric Snowmobile (Driver's License Required)

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel, followed by a visit to our expedition center, where you'll be outfitted with all the necessary gear, including a scooter dress, boots, balaclava, helmet, and mittens. Once geared up, we'll head to the awaiting electric snowmobiles, where our guide will provide a brief tutorial on operating the vehicle before setting off into the dark expanse of the wilderness.

Designed for those seeking a taste of snowmobiling without committing to a full-day excursion, this tour offers a relatively short route covering 40 km of easy, mostly flat terrain. Venturing into Adventdalen, we'll scour the night sky for the elusive northern lights, while also keeping an eye out for sightings of the native Svalbard reindeer, a common sight on our excursions.

The electric snowmobile's quiet operation allows for a closer connection to nature and wildlife without disturbing the tranquil surroundings. Throughout the journey, we'll make several stops, during which our knowledgeable guide will share interesting information and captivating stories. A break for warm drinks and biscuits adds to the cozy atmosphere before we make our way back to Longyearbyen
