East coast, glaciers and ice cave adventure - Snowfox Travel

About

Are you ready for a true Arctic adventure?
Join us on the longest single day trip through Svalbard's magnificent nature.
We will drive our snowmobiles through the amazing valleys, over massive glaciers and go where adventure awaits.
During our full day trip we will also visit an ice cave (only if conditions allow us to do this safely).
This experience is going to create unbeatable Arctic memories!

Our adventure starts at 08:00 (am). We will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to our basecamp.
After a safety briefing and changing into the right clothes, we are ready to start our snowmobile experience into the wilderness, towards the magical East coast!

You can either drive your own snowmobile or if you book with more than 1 person, share one (it is possible to swap along the way).

Along the way we will make several stops to capture all the beautiful nature, make a stop at an amazing glacier wall and enjoy spectacular views on top of the glacier.
We will always be on the lookout for wildlife, such as the Svalbard reindeer, Arctic fox, seals and maybe today you are lucky to spot the king of the Arctic, a polar bear (from a safe distance).   

If it is safe enough, we will also drive on the sea ice, to get in front of the massive glacier wall, where we will have warm lunch and drinks with a view on the Konigsberg glacier!

Another highlight of this day is our stop at one of the many ice caves here on Svalbard.
We will go inside to explore a beautiful icy world. Enjoy the absolute silence and be amazed by the thousands of years layers of ice.  

This experience is there for you! At the end of the day, we will arrive back to town with a ton of great memories and stories to tell.

It is not an issue if you do not have previous snowmobile experience. We will give clear instructions and we will start easy to get you into the flow!
