Chasing the Northern Lights by Snowmobile and visit a frozen waterfall - Snowfox Travel

About

Looking for the perfect place to witness the breathtaking Northern Lights, far away from light pollution and civilization?

Join us on an unforgettable snowmobile adventure through Svalbard's spectacular wilderness, where you'll drive your snowmobile under a sky full of stars and planets to be seen.

Be on the lookout for the Aurora which might start dancing in the sky!

Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation, followed by a short drive to our basecamp. After a safety briefing and changing into warm expedition gear, we'll set off on our snowmobiles and head deep into the Arctic wilderness.

As we ride through wide, snow-covered valleys, we'll keep watch on the sky before arriving at a stunning frozen waterfall. Sheltered from the wind, we'll take a break to enjoy warm drinks and a warm expedition dinner while your guide shares fascinating stories about Svalbard, Arctic life, and the legends surrounding the Northern Lights.

Be sure to bring a fully charged phone or camera—and an extra battery if you have one. Cold temperatures drain batteries quickly, and you won't want to miss capturing the moment when the Aurora lights up the sky.

No previous snowmobile experience is required. We'll provide clear instructions, start at an easy pace, and make sure you feel comfortable before heading further into the wilderness.

This tour covers approximately 80–90 km by snowmobile, offering an unforgettable Arctic adventure in search of one of nature's greatest spectacles!

You are not allowed to drive without being able to present a valid driver's license which is valid in Svalbard – your tour will not be refunded if you fail to do so.

If you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will not be allowed to join and will not receive any refund.

Although our activity is focussed on observing the Northern lights, their presence can never be guaranteed and there is no refund if we fail to see any Aurora activity.

Pickup: at your accommodation around the time stated on your confirmation. 
Please just wait if we are not there on time. 
We pick up everyone at the same time, so we could be some minutes later at your accommodation.

There will be an option to lower your liability in case of damage to our snowmobiles for an additional fee.
