Fishing trips

Svalbard offers wonderful fishing adventures. Join us on a fishing trip to experience the waters off Longyearbyen, spend a few hours at sea and get a close-up view of the coastal mountains plunging into the sea. In the late summer and autumn, the waters off Longyearbyen are abounding with cod so the chances are high that you will catch fish and take great photos.

Head out on a Polarcirkel boat or a larger heated boat with a hand line or a rod and see if the fish are biting. Learn how to clean the fish and hear exciting stories about Svalbard’s hunting and fishing culture. Perhaps you want to cook a delicious dinner with self-caught fish as the main ingredient?

Unique wildlife on sea
Combine a fishing trip with sighseeing and look out for unique wildlife on sea, which is well worth experiencing. If you have dreamt of having a close-up encounter with a walrus or experiencing the world’s largest mammal – the majestic whale – then we recommend a walrus and whale safari during the Polar Summer. You can see, smell and photograph the walruses laying and rolling on the beach while enjoying the panoramic view from the boat.
