The Golden Compass Tour

Arrive at Longyear Airport in Svalbard followed by a private transfer to your accommodation for the night. After check-in, the rest of the day is free time to explore Longyearbyen as you wish, perhaps with a visit to the Svalbard Museum to learn more about Svalbard‘s history as a hunting and mining outpost.
Spend the night in Longyearbyen.

After an energizing breakfast at your hotel, meet with your tour leader to go over the details of the snowmobile safari and receive your loan of additional outerwear and equipment. Then, after a basic lesson on how to drive a snowmobile, the journey begins! Today’s route takes us to the outermost reaches of the Isfjord, past Barentsburg, the Russian Settlement, and through wide valleys surrounded by steep mountains and majestic glaciers. End the day at the cosy Isfjord Radio, a former radio station in a remote setting, where you can relax in the soothing sauna before enjoying a well-deserved three-course dinner with the group.

Enjoy a good breakfast before we continue the journey though more incredible landscapes towards our unique accommodation for the night. Our destination is Tempelfjorden, where the Noorderlicht schooner awaits our arrival. This ship frozen in sea ice is the only hotel of its kind in the world! The Noorderlicht boasts features you wouldn’t expect this close to the North Pole such as comfortable cabins with warm showers and, best of all, a lovely three-course dinner.
Spend the night on board the ship.

Before breakfast, we recommend a walk out to the deck to not only awaken your appetite but also to witness the beautiful colours of the early morning sun reflecting off the snow. Then it’s time to head back to civilization, crossing stunning glaciers, valleys, and plains along the way. Prior to arriving at Longyearbyen in the afternoon, we also get a chance to admire the scenery of the Tuna/Von Post glacier.
Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure in Longyearbyen, where you will spend the night.
