Fossil hunting at Deltaneset

When you fly in over Svalbard, one of the first things you will see are the unique mountains that initially gave the archipelago its name "Spitsbergen". The mountains, filled with old sediments from rivers and swamps, can be read like ancient books if you take a closer look at them. Svalbard is in many aspects a geological paradise, and on this tour you will experience it up close!

Activity

Dogsledding on wheels

Many associate dog sledding with winter and freezing temperatures, but the dogs need exercise during the summer months as well, and our custom-built dog sledge on wheels is a perfect way for both two- and fourlegged to get out and enjoy the beautiful Svalbard scenery.

Dogsledding by the sea

Walrus safari to Borebukta

Throughout history, the walruses on Svalbard have been subject to intense hunting. There were only a few hundred of them left in 1952, when they became a protected species. Since then, the population has recovered sharply and the walrus is finally a common sight again. Join us on a trip to the Borebukta bay, and pay a visit to these odd animals with long teeth! As with all wild animals, we cannot guarantee that we will see them, but the chances are good.

Activity

Glacier safari to Tempelfjorden and Tunabreen

Join us on a boat trip to the mighty Tuna- and Von Post Glacier in the heart of the Tempelfjord. Along the way we will pass ‘Villa Fredheim’, the home of the old local legend Hilmar Nøis. We also make a stop at the beautiful bird cliff Diabas, where we will get a close view of its thousands of nesting birds. On the north side of Sassenfjorden a fantastic view of the mountain Tempelfjellet awaits. All of this whilst seeing the glacier in the distance getting closer and closer.
