Once there, we’ll land on shore and observe them respectfully, from a safe distance (if the conditions allow)These enormous yet curious animals often lift their heads to take a look at us — and sometimes, they come even closer.This tour offers excellent opportunities for photography, storytelling, and a delicious lunch enjoyed in a spectacular Arctic setting.

✅ What You’ll Experience

Important information

  • Please note that we can never guarantee wildlife sightings. However, we operate in areas well known for their wildlife, and our experienced guides will do their best to spot animals during the trip.
    All animals on Svalbard roam freely. Later in the season, chances for wildlife encounters may decrease, as many species begin migrating south. In these cases, we place greater focus on Svalbard’s dramatic nature, rich history, and the beautiful light conditions of the Arctic autumn.
