This evening, experience the magic of being out in the wilderness at 78 degrees north! You will search for the Northern lights during a visit to the Camp Barentz. This fantastic location is at the foot of the mountain Breinosa, and just below Mine 7.

Here, far from the city lighting, you have perfect conditions for to hunt for the northern lights. And you get close to nature! From Camp Barentz you can experience reindeer, grouse and foxes up close if you are lucky. And your hosts will be on guard in case a polar bear should approach.

During your visit, you will be served something good to drink and delicious, homemade reindeer bidos, campfire coffee and dessert. This is a real Svalbard meal! Sit around the fire, hearing stories about the Northern Lights as you wait for them to show, fingers crossed. Return transfer to your hotel.

Today, hike to an ice cave. Explore the magical ice grottos within Svalbard glaciers, carved by summer meltwater. This two-hour hike from Nybyen to Larsbreen covers 350 meters in elevation. You’ll navigate narrow passages and study stunning ice formations. Safety gear, including a helmet, spikes, and headlight, is provided.
The moderately difficult trek involves mountain hiking and some crawling. Participants should be relatively fit and accustomed to mountain hiking. Hiking shoes are required, and gaiters or snowshoes will be an advantage due to melting snow.

This evening, embark on a Northern Lights hunt using an electric snowmobile, designed for polar conditions. Its silent operation allows you to get closer to nature and wildlife without disturbance. Experience the Arctic in a new way!

The safari stays close to Longyearbyen, venturing into Adventdalen to seek the Northern Lights. Away from city lights, your chances of seeing them are high. During the polar night (early November to late January), you can witness the Northern Lights any time, even during the day, when the sky has a fascinating reddish hue.

The bus tour to the mine is a step into the history of Longyearbyen. Learn how the company town has grown into its modern form - starting from the early 20th century and ending in the late 1960’s when Gruve 3 was opened. During this trip you will expe¬rience the life a miner had in the production days, and learn about what the mining industry has meant to Longyearbyen. We take in a little sightseeing around town before we head out to the mine, which is located near the airport. On arrival at Mine 3, we will head through the same entrance as the miner’s did back in the day. The guide will lead you in, and show you to the change rooms to be assigned your overalls, hard-hat and headlamp.

On your return to the hotel, you will have a Nordic tasting menu for dinner. The restaurant’s cuisine features Nordic techniques and flavours, using ingredients primarily from Svalbard and the Arctic. Collaborating with local trappers and hunters, the Tasting Menu offers a seasonal journey through Svalbard, telling a story with each dish.

After breakfast, private taxi transfer to airport.
