Set course on an unforgettable boat trip across Isfjorden to one of Svalbard's Walrus colonies, where we hope to see this iconic Arctic animal in its natural habitat!

Witness walruses in their natural habitat: Walruses (like humans) often have a favourite spot to relax, socialise and hunt. One such colony is in the tranquil bay of Borebukta, where we set course and hope to see these magnificent creatures from a respectful and considerate distance.

Embark on an unforgettable Arctic adventure: Cross the majestic Isfjorden (the 'Ice Fjord'), the gateway to Longyearbyen, aboard the modern and cozy speedboat Kvitbjørn. As we sail towards Borebukta, we might be fortunate to spot other marine or birdlife that thrive along Svalbard's coastline.

Feel nature’s embrace: This intimate experience for up to 12 guests, provides ample opportunities to soak in the breathtaking Arctic landscapes from the aft deck. Paired with warm drinks and freshly baked buns, you will be sure of lasting memories that will stay with you forever.

Included in the tour

Transfer to/from the harbour in Longyearbyen.
Boat tour onboard Kvitbjørn, with a guide and all necessary safety equipment.
Hot drinks and fresh buns from the bakery.
