Wildlife Safari overnight: East Coast for sunrise - Svalbard Wildlife Expeditions

About

Our Arctic adventure out to the East Coast of Spitsbergen begins in the evening, after a thorough briefing by the guide and run-through to ensure that everyone is ready for snowmobile-driving in Arctic conditions.

On our way out, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the snowmobile and how it handles on different types of terrain all the while enjoying this extraordinary way of traveling in the field. It will not take long until we are outside the light pollution of Longyearbyen and can really appreciate the open landscape ahead and starry skies above. Perhaps we are so lucky to experience the real magic of nature through the northern lights?

After a safe arrival at our Fulmar cabin closely located to the East Coast in a secluded valley, we bunker down with a warm atmosphere and good food before spending the night like a proper trapper. This will provide the best starting point for next morning’s adventure after an early breakfast where we aim to be the first group out to the mighty East Coast of Spitsbergen and the realm of polar bears.
