HIKING & ZODIAC CRUISING
The wilderness surrounding Longyearbyen provides ample hiking opportunities for every experience level. The tundra can be surprisingly colorful in the summertime, with wildflowers, moss and lichen taking advantage of the short season. Glaciers and rocky peaks beg to be explored, and you never know when you’ll come across an ancient abandoned hut or encampment.
From the water, on board a Zodiac, there are many opportunities to spot wildlife and see, hear and smell the chaos of an arctic bird cliff from the water. Or, if you’re lucky, witness a walrus haul-out. The giant creatures create quite a scene as they vie for a choice spot of coastline.
