Adventfjorden is one of Svalbard's most historic fjords, with Longyearbyen on the south side and majestic mountains in all directions. Join us and explore the area by kayak! This is a lovely half-day tour that gives you a great nature experience from a sea perspective.

Your guide will pick you up at the hotel and drive you to a kayak storage close to the sea. Here you will get your personal kayak equipment for the day. We continue down to the beach, where you will be given kayaking instructions and a safety briefing. Then we start the tour!

We leave the beach and Longyearbyen behind, and paddle out into the fjord with the magnificent Hiortfjellet (the "Hiorth Mountain") in front of us. Along the way, we will take several breaks, and you will learn about the history of mining in Longyearbyen and Hiorthamn on the other side of the fjord. Maybe you will spot a bird or two bobbing in the water, as you slowly paddle past them. When sitting in a kayak, you have a wonderful and unique perspective, as you sit so close to the surface of the water. The guide will tell many interesting stories about the various landmarks we see.

After a good while out on the fjord, we head back to town, and the guide will drop you off at your hotel.
