Sarkofagen Hike - To the Unknown 

Our route takes us through the valley, traversing Longyearbreen (the 'Longyear Glacier'), and onwards towards the majestic peak of Sarkofagen. Along the way, there is no established path to follow, as the ever-changing moraine landscape presents a rugged terrain reminiscent of a lunar landscape. Amidst this otherworldly scenery, keep an eye out for 60-million-year-old fossils, uncovered by the glacier's gradual movements over millennia.

Throughout our ascent, keep watch for sightings of Svalbard rock ptarmigans, a unique bird species adapted to the Arctic environment and devoid of natural predators on the island. Their presence adds to the enchantment of our journey, offering glimpses of the wildlife that thrives amidst this pristine landscape.

Upon reaching the summit of Sarkofagen, revel in the breathtaking panorama stretching before you, featuring sweeping vistas of Longyearbyen below.

Walrus Safari to Borebukta onboard Kvitbjørn

Our adventure begins with a crossing of the majestic Isfjorden (the ‘Ice Fjord’). After approximately one hour, we'll reach the tranquil bay of Borebukta. Known for its serenity and calm waters, Borebukta is a favored spot for walrus colonies. In this bay, we'll utilize the electric motor for silent propulsion, providing us with a unique opportunity to observe wildlife without disturbance.

Walruses can be spotted year-round in Svalbard. While they often rest on ice floes, during the summer and autumn, they also frequent beaches and small islets in colonies. These colonies typically gather in specific locations where access to food and resting spots are conveniently situated. Walruses are highly social animals, often appearing in groups. After foraging in the sea, they haul themselves onto land or ice floes to rest alongside their herd, often lying close together or even atop one another.

Throughout the tour, we'll remain on the boat but spend ample time outside on the aft deck, providing you with an up-close encounter with nature. After indulging in hot beverages and freshly baked buns, we'll set our course back to Longyearbyen.

Boat Trip to the Bird Cliffs

Our journey commences by charting a course westward on Isfjorden, leading us to the iconic Fuglefjella, or the 'Bird Mountain'. Nestled between Longyearbyen and Barentsburg, this majestic bird cliff towers above a narrow stone beach, soaring 500 meters high and serving as a seasonal home to thousands of migratory birds. Among the most prolific inhabitants are the Brünnich’s Guillemots, with colonies exceeding 100,000 pairs scattered across the archipelago.

Our next destination unveils the enigmatic ruins of the abandoned Russian mining town, Grumant, frozen in time since 1961. It's a surreal experience to envision the remnants of what was once the largest settlement on Svalbard, nestled amidst the rugged mountainside. Following a brief interlude at Grumant, we journey onward to Hiorthhamn, situated across the fjord from Longyearbyen.

Hiorthhamn, another abandoned mining town, harbors echoes of its bustling past with remnants of barracks, a blacksmith, stores, and other mining infrastructure. With a touch of imagination, you can conjure the vibrant community that once thrived here. Depending on timing and weather conditions, we may disembark here before commencing our return voyage to Longyearbyen.

ATV Safari (Driver's License Required)

Our route takes us into the heart of Adventdalen, also known as the Advent Valley, towards the majestic mountain of Breinosa and the historic Mine 7.

Keep your eyes peeled for sightings of the Svalbard reindeer, which often graze in the nutrient-rich soil of the surrounding swamp area. Additionally, be on the lookout for the elusive Arctic fox, known to frequent the region in search of food among the nesting birds and their eggs.

In the distance, the imposing glacier front of Tunabreen awaits, drawing closer as we journey onward. After approximately one hour, we'll find ourselves in Tempelfjorden (the ‘Temple Fjord’), where we'll utilize the boat's electric motor for silent propulsion, allowing us to experience nature and wildlife without disturbance.

Tunabreen boasts a breathtaking glacier front, its light blue hue contrasting beautifully with the surrounding brownish mountain landscape. As one of Svalbard's surging glaciers, Tunabreen may offer the chance to witness large masses of ice detaching and cascading into the sea—a truly awe-inspiring spectacle accompanied by a resounding bang and gentle waves. Additionally, if the glacier has calved significantly in the last 24 hours, we may encounter numerous ice chunks floating in the water, emitting the sound of bursting thousand-year-old air bubbles.

Throughout the tour, we'll remain on the boat but spend ample time outside on the aft deck, providing you with an intimate connection to nature. Following some hot drinks and freshly baked buns, we'll set our course back to Longyearbyen

Named after the Arctic fox, this glacier is a testament to the region's pristine wilderness.

Continuing our trek towards Foxdalen (the "Fox Valley"), we'll pause to rest and recharge at an old trapper's cabin, where a hearty expedition lunch awaits.

In this bay, we'll utilize the electric motor for silent propulsion, providing us with a unique opportunity to observe wildlife without disturbance.

Walruses can be spotted year-round in Svalbard. While they often rest on ice floes, during the summer and autumn, they also frequent beaches and small islets in colonies. These colonies typically gather in specific locations where access to food and resting spots are conveniently situated. Walruses are highly social animals, often appearing in groups. After foraging in the sea, they haul themselves onto land or ice floes to rest alongside their herd, often lying close together or even atop one another.

Throughout the tour, we'll remain on the boat but spend ample time outside on the aft deck, providing you with an up-close encounter with nature. After indulging in hot beverages and freshly baked buns, we'll set our course back to Longyearbyen

Wildlife and Glacier Cruise onboard MS Bard

A bus will collect you and transport you to the harbor, where MS Bard awaits. Conditions on Svalbard vary greatly throughout the year, offering unique experiences in the beautiful Svalbard nature, whether under the midnight sun in May or as the polar night approaches in October.

Traveling aboard the hybrid electric catamaran MS Bard ensures minimal noise and vibration, allowing for a closer connection to nature while minimizing disturbance to wildlife.

Early in the season, parts of Billefjorden may still be blanketed in ice. Utilizing only the electric motor, we silently follow the ice edge, offering excellent opportunities for wildlife sightings. Along the way, we'll marvel at the breathtaking glacier front of Nordenskiöldbreen. Additionally, we'll catch a distant glimpse of the ghost town Pyramiden and pass by Skansbukta, a bay steeped in intriguing history

The fjords are typically teeming with seabirds, and if we're lucky, we might even see a whale or two.

Half-day Kayak on Adventfjorden

Your guide will meet you at your hotel and drive you to the kayak base by the sea, where you'll receive your kayaking gear for the day. After gearing up, we’ll head to the shore for a quick paddling tutorial and a comprehensive safety briefing before launching off.

Leaving Longyearbyen’s coastline behind, we glide into the fjord, with the impressive Hiortfjellet (or “Hiorth Mountain”) directly ahead. We'll pause along the way for short breaks, during which you’ll learn about the mining history of Longyearbyen and the historic site of Hiorthamn across the fjord. Keep an eye out for seabirds floating nearby as you paddle by; from a kayak, you get a remarkably close view of the wildlife and water’s surface. Your guide will share fascinating stories about the landscapes we pass, making each pause a memorable one.

After an incredible journey through the fjord, we paddle back toward town, where your guide will bring you safely back to your hotel, rounding off a true Arctic adventure.

Isfjord Safari on a Polarcirkel Boat

With a stroke of luck, we may even encounter a whale or two near the boat, particularly belugas, which thrive in Isfjorden and Adventfjorden during the summer months. If time and weather permit, we'll make a shore excursion to Hiorthamn, situated just across the fjord from Longyearbyen. This area was once a hub of coal mining activity between 1917 and 1921, offering a wealth of fascinating history nestled within its mountains and buildings.

Wildlife Photography Safari

We begin by picking you up at your accommodation and heading to handpicked spots known for wildlife sightings.
