What makes this tour unique is that it's catered to photographers and adventurers in that your private guide is more than just a tour guide – they’re a certified photographer and able to, apart from just showing you the sights, help you compose the perfect photograph in terms of composition, aperture, what lense to use and so forth. Add to that your certified photographer Photo Exploring guide will be together with you the whole day.

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Longyearbyen. Hop aboard a modern taxi and set off on a journey through the rugged terrain of the Svalbard archipelago. As you wind through streets lined with iconic, brightly colored wooden houses, discover the unique charm of the world’s northernmost permanent settlement. The undisputed highlight is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. While the interior remains off-limits to protect its precious cargo, the bus stops at a prime vantage point 150 meters away. Here, witness the striking architecture embedded deep into the mountain—a biological "backup" for civilization guarding millions of seeds. Unlike other tours, we will stop here for half an hour, giving you ample time to take photos. The journey concludes at a final stop at the world-famous “Watch out for Polar Bears” sign for that quintessential, bucket-list Arctic photo.

Embark on a thrilling chase for the Northern Lights on this unforgettable snowcat adventure. Leaving the lights of Longyearbyen behind, your journey takes you into the vast, dark wilderness of Svalbard. As you travel over the frozen Adventdalen Valley, your guide will make several stops to hunt for the Northern Lights, offering you the best chance to witness this mesmerizing natural spectacle. While the experience of traveling through the pristine Arctic wilderness is awe-inspiring in itself, we advise dressing warmly so you can enjoy the stops and the stunning silence of Svalbard’s remote landscape.
