Today, get ready for a thrilling Northern Lights safari by snowmobile or snowcat. Svalbard’s high altitude Arctic location offers perfect conditions for witnessing this natural wonder, and our local guides know just where to go for the best views. We’ll start our journey from Longyearbyen, venturing into untouched snowy valleys in search of clear skies and the most stunning viewpoints to experience the Aurora Borealis. Along the way, we’ll take breaks to enjoy coffee and snacks, keeping ourselves warm and energized for the adventure. In the evening, we’ll find an activity that suits the group and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Longyearbyen.
We’ll use the snowmobiles for our trip if at least half of the group has a valid driver’s license. Otherwise, we’ll search for the Northern Lights using a snowcat – a special off-road vehicle designed for snow travel, where the entire group can comfortably fit in.
