About
An Arctic introduction to Svalbard’s nature, wildlife and stunning glaciers by closed boat!
WELCOME TO SVALBARD!
We welcome our guests who arrive by cruise ship in the harbor of Longyearbyen.
Specially for those guests, we have created a perfect experience with our comfortable closed boat to discover Svalbard in one of the best ways, in a short amount of time.
Join us for an Arctic introduction to Svalbard’s nature, wildlife and stunning glaciers!
You will embark on our closed RIB boat (including toilet) for an incredible Arctic adventure.
We will set course towards the massive Isfjord, which is the largest fjord in the area and known to be a feeding area for many whales.
Keep your binoculars ready as soon as we depart — whales, belugas, walruses, and maybe even polar bears can appear at any moment during our time on the water.
After crossing the Isfjord we will set course to one of the massive glaciers across the fjord.
Often walruses or seals can be found on sea ice in front of the glaciers.
Enjoy our warm expedition lunch or dinner in Arctic surroundings whilst floating in front of the glacier, appreciating true Arctic silence around you.
If time allows we will visit a second glacier or go on land to watch the walruses a bit more up close.
Our guide will know the best spots to visit for that day!
This tour is here to give you the best possible Arctic experience in terms of nature, glaciers and spotting wildlife.
