Northern lights under a frozen waterfall - by snowmobile - Snowfox Travel

About

Looking for the perfect spot to hunt for the amazing Northern lights, far away from light pollution and civilization?
Join our Northern lights evening adventure on snowmobile!
Drive your snowmobile under a sky full of stars and planets to be seen.
Be on the lookout for the Aurora which hopefully might start dancing in the sky!
This adventure is for those who seek to go further into nature, far away from town, to hunt for the best Aurora.

Our adventure starts when 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.

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).

While we drive through the massive valleys, we will observe the sky and finally reach a magical frozen waterfall.
From here we are sheltered to enjoy our warm drinks and warm expedition dinner.
Our guide will tell you interesting stories about Svalbard and the magical Aurora.

Make sure to go on this trip with a fully charged battery on your phone and camera and bring extra.
If the lights start to dance, you do not want to miss it!

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!

This trip is about 80km-90km on snowmobiles.

Included:
- Our professional and dedicated guide with all the needed safety equipment and communication devices
- Transport to and from hotel
- Use of our snowmobile with petrol
- Snowmobile suit, boots, gloves, balaclava, helmet and snow goggles

What to bring:
Warm clothes under your snowmobile suit (preferably several layers of wool), a pair of thin gloves or mittens to wear under your driving mittens.
Big jackets or multiple jackets are not recommended under the snowmobile suit.

Remember to bring a driving license for a car, motorcycle or snowmobile valid for Svalbard!

Important to know:
We always asses weather and (snow/ice) conditions. If we need to adjust our planned route due to safety reasons, we hold the right to do so.
Your safety is our main concern. There is no reimbursement if we need to.

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.

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

We reserve the right to refuse you to join our activity, if you do not arrive properly prepared in terms of clothing when we pick you up. 
Your safety is our main concern.

There will be an option to lower your liability in case of damage to our snowmobiles for an additional fee.
This will be presented to you during the safety instructions at our basecamp.

We recommend you have a valid travel insurance.

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.
