From early May to late September, Svalbard’s coastline becomes a gateway to Arctic adventure. Better Moments offers high-quality boat tours that explore the islands’ spectacular fjords, towering glaciers, thriving wildlife, and even the world’s northernmost community – Ny-Ålesund, the crown jewel of our summer trips.
Our tours are operated with three custom-built Red Bay Stormforce boats, specially designed for Arctic conditions. These heated, enclosed RIBs combine safety, speed, and comfort, offering excellent visibility inside and open deck access when weather permits.
Whether you’re joining a wildlife safari, visiting a glacier front, or traveling toward the far reaches of the archipelago, every journey is led by experienced guides and designed to maximize both comfort and discovery.
We use the boats for daily wildlife trips, but it is also possible to book them for transportations. For transport, please contact us check out out Logistics page and info@bettermoments.no.
