A guided taxi tour around Longyearbyen offers a good dose of local knowledge, an overview of the various attractions, and, most importantly, an introduction to the general history of Svalbard.
This is the perfect way to start your stay on Svalbard. We will make a mandatory stop at the iconic polar bear sign before continuing into Adventdalen, passing the town's dog kennels and up to Mine 7 and the Northern Lights Observatory. The tour then continues to Mine 3, past Hotellneset near the airport, with a brief stop at the Seed Vault on the way down. Additionally, you will receive a local guide through the center of Longyearbyen, and we will gladly make an extra stop if we encounter any reindeer along the way.
