WhySvalbardWhere to next?
Experience the Polar North
Svalbard is one of the most intriguing corners of the World – the northernmost place that's inhabited year-round. It's an archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, between Norway and the North Pole, also known as Spitsbergen.
About 2,600 people live here, hailing from over 50 different countries. You're more likely to encounter a polar bear than another person. In the capital, Longyearbyen, about 80% of Svalbard's entire population resides.
Despite being one of the coldest settlements, the people here are extraordinarily welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy and warm. There are no traffic lights, no street names, and no prisons. It's a dream destination because in summer, it remains light for 24 hours a day. Our biggest worry is that you'll love the Arctic adventure so much, we'll return without half the group.
Anyone can live in Svalbard freely – no visa or additional documents needed. The adventures here are cold but wild, beautiful, and unparalleled. The mountains, tundras, and skies create postcard-like landscapes that stay imprinted in your mind.
Is this journey meant for you?

Nature
Culture
Here, you truly find yourself at the edge of the world.
We will be travelling in April, so we'll be enveloped in daylight all day long. Although it's located beyond the Arctic Circle, in winter the archipelago has temperatures around 20 degrees higher than areas of the same latitude in Russia and Canada, thanks to a warm Atlantic current that washes its shores.
Still, pack your warm clothes, but the cold has its advantages - no mosquitoes, no sweating, and nature is perfectly preserved, just like in a refrigerator. And it's enchanting – fjords covered with blue sea ice, glaciers, tundra, majestic mountains, and impressive wildlife, in other words – endless, pristine Arctic wilderness, where the true ruler is the polar bear.

"The Arctic Desert" Svalbard
Svalbard is classified as a desert. Due to its rocks and ice, low temperatures, and low humidity, Svalbard falls into the northern part of our planet known as the 'Arctic Desert.' The area receives minimal precipitation, and the air is almost as dry as it would be in a 'hot' desert.
Svalbard might just save humanity as we know it. It is home to the Global Seed Vault on the island of Spitsbergen – the northernmost inhabited place on the planet, where deep underground, in the safety of permafrost, over 1 million seed samples from around the world are securely stored.
Sample Itinerary
Day 1
From Sofia to Norway
Meet at Sofia Airport, Terminal 2, dressed in winter clothes, with a suitcase full of sunshine mood. We arrive in Oslo, where we will spend the night at the Radisson Red Oslo Airport hotel.
Day 2
Svalbard – An Extraordinary Arctic Adventure
Departure from Oslo on 06.12.22, arriving in Longyearbyen – the northernmost town in the World.
Where will we stay?
Radisson Blu Polar Hotel Spitsbergen is located in the heart of Longyearbyen, right between the Svalbard Museum and the main pedestrian street. It's the ideal starting point for our Arctic adventure.
Restaurant Nansen offers a delightful à la carte menu in a beautiful setting. And the Hiorthfjelet mountain makes the view from the restaurant and the atmosphere unique. If the weather permits, we can step outside and enjoy the sun on the large terrace.
At Barentz Gastropub, we will find delicious lunch and dinner, served by the friendliest bartenders in town. Locals often come to this place for lunch, daily specials, or just for a beer and a football match.
In all hotels and restaurants, except for Barentz Gastropub, we will take off our shoes before entering. We can rent slippers available near the entrance.
Wireless internet is available in the hotel.
Day 3
Arctic Adventure with Dog Sledding
The Polar Day is a particularly atmospheric time of the year. During this period, the sun doesn't set for the entire day. For some people who prefer the night, this might not be the most pleasant time of the year, but as true adventurers, we'll prove that it can actually be one of the most exciting periods.
Once we've helped harness the sled, our guide will lead us outside on an unforgettable adventure. The dogs will bark and howl with impatience, but as soon as we set off, a beautiful silence will settle over us. The eager dogs will start at a frantic pace, but after a few kilometres, they'll slow down, and we’ll fully immerse ourselves in this snowy fairy tale. The guide will drive first with two guests in their larger sled, and the group will follow with two-person sleds. We’ll enjoy the silence and the surrounding landscape.
In the darkness, we'll switch off our headlamps, and shortly after, the outlines of the mountains will appear. Looking to the south, we'll see the landscape brightening towards the horizon. The snow cover reflects light from the moon, the stars, and if we’re lucky – the Northern Lights. It's amazing to note how much we can see during this magical period. The atmosphere of the dog sled, the majestic mountains, the tranquillity, and the unique games of the skies will transport us to another dimension. The green lights in the sky descend over the white snowy cover of the mountains, creating a magical dance that captivates all senses.
Meeting point: in front of the main entrance, where we will be welcomed.
Duration: approximately 4 hours
This tour includes transport to/from hotel/guest house, clothing and shoes, a guide with safety equipment.
Day 4
Underground Adventure - Visit to Coal Mine Number 3
As true adventurers, are you ready to travel 30 years back in time, into an underground and very different World? To visit an old mine, full of memories left by miners engulfed in dust? To find out why they ventured into the mountains in search of black gold and what it was like to work beneath the deep grounds of Svalbard? We can find out by spending a working day as a miner.
The mines and coal mining are of fundamental historical importance to the existence of Longyearbyen. As early as 1906, coal mining began, and the city is named after the first person to start this activity – the American John Munro Longyear.
We will be provided a guide who will take us safely through the journey deep into the mountain.
This tour starts right from the hotel. Coal mine number 3 is located close to the airport, and along the way, we pass by the Global Seed Vault. It was built in 2008 and can hold about 4.5 million seed banks. Currently, it houses around 1.1 million seed types from almost every part of the World. Interestingly, although we will see the entrance to the vault, its depth is actually over 100m into the mountain.
We arrive at the coal mine with a stunning view of Adventfjord. It was built in 1971 and between 100 and 200 thousand tonnes of coal were extracted annually. In 1996 it was closed, but all the miners' equipment was left there.
We put on our helmets and headlights before entering the mine, and our 'working day' begins. Even from the corridor, you can feel the dampness and cold air. The guide will explain the coal mine's production while the sound from the mountain's depths resonates around us. They will tell us stories about the miners' lives in Svalbard and the past community. The entire ambiance gives the feeling that time is paused, and at any moment the work will resume with miners appearing around us.
We finish our journey with a highlight: a walk in the mountain. It's as dark as pitch. All the lights are off. This is the moment when you'll understand why we have the headlights. Darkness surrounds us, but there's a light in the distance – at the end of the tunnel.
INCLUDED:
– Guided tour of coal mine number 3
– Suit, helmet, and lamp
– Transport to and from the hotel
– Guide with emergency and safety equipment
Recommended equipment:
For this tour, we recommend wearing warm clothes and clothes that can get dirty from coal dust. The mine is unheated, and the provided coverall is a standard worker's overall.
Warm boots, woolen clothes, a hat, and gloves are recommended.
Duration: approx. 3 hours
Day 5
Ice Cave Tour with Snowshoes
Prepare to step into a frozen world as you descend into the ice cave. Trapped in the ice, you'll find 1,000-year-old remains of frozen plants, fantastic ice formations, narrow passages, and large chambers. Welcome to the underground world, hidden from all those who haven't ventured into its depths.
When you visit Svalbard, it's hard to miss seeing a glacier. About 60% of the archipelago is covered with glaciers, and if you visit during winter, there's a good chance you'll cross one by snowmobile or dog sled. Standing on what appears to be a flat plateau of snow and ice, it's hard to imagine the frozen wonderland lying beneath the surface.
The ice cave changes from year to year, and you never know what types of formations the glacier might have created this time. We'll be taken by snowcat towards the 'Longyear Glacier,' just above Longyearbyen. Longyearbreen is a landlocked glacier filling the valley between two mighty mountains. The journey isn't long, but once you've climbed onto the glacier, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Longyearbyen and the imposing Hiorthfjellet across the fjord. The entrance to the ice cave is tricky to find, but the guide knows exactly where it is. Amidst the white landscape, you'll suddenly spot a small opening and a ladder leading you down into the magical world of ice and snow.
You'll be equipped with a powerful headlamp, and as you walk one by one through the narrow passage, you'll illuminate the ice. The cave changes yearly, but we can usually walk several hundred meters into the cave before it vanishes or becomes challenging to navigate. Often, the passage opens up to reveal a cathedral-like world of snow and ice, which is simply captivating.
The glacier acts like a giant climate archive. Each year, new layers of snow are stored and compacted together as they sink into the glacier. If you extract an ice core from the glacier, you can see all the layers within, like a timeline with the oldest at the bottom and the newest at the top. Scientists analyze the air bubbles and particles, and imagine, perhaps there might be a frozen dinosaur fossil lying in the ice, if you're lucky! The ice cave reveals a world hidden from most, while also giving us a glimpse into Svalbard’s history.
The adventure isn’t over when we return to the outside world. The journey to and from the ice cave is by snowcat, a unique and fun vehicle that rocks up and down over the moraine. We'll stop to take photos overlooking Longyearbyen and you'll be served hot blackcurrant and a biscuit or two. The perfect end to a magical winter adventure!
Included:
Helmet with headlight, crampons
Pick-up from your hotel
Hot drinks
Practical information
Warm clothes
Even though the snowcat is heated and the ice cave is 'only' minus 2 degrees, we strongly advise dressing warmly for this journey.
Day 6
Cultural and Historical Exploration of Longyearbyen – the Northernmost Town in the World
And this adventure begins right from the hotel. An experienced local guide will lead us through Longyearbyen and the area’s thrilling history.
During the tour, we will visit the Svalbard Museum and the Svalbard Gallery. Topics covered during the tour include history, geology, flora, fauna, and the contemporary community.
At the Svalbard Museum, we'll dive into the city's 400-year history.
We will travel back to 1596, when Svalbard was discovered, learn more about the whaling period of the 15th century, the Russian Pomors in the 16th century, the life of Norwegian hunters from 1850, the history of mining, and how Svalbard transformed into its present state.
The Svalbard Gallery was established in 1995. Here, you'll find art and culture collections from Kåre Tveter, The Svalbard Collection (Arctic maps, books, and currency), and The Recherche Collection (lithographs from the 1838 and 1839 expeditions).
During this walk, we’ll mostly stay indoors, and the city tour is by bus.
The tour will last approximately 3 hours.
