Spitsbergen Kayak Expedition
Spitsbergen Kayak Expedition 8 days LIMITED SPACE!
Spitsbergen Kayak Expedition 8 days LIMITED SPACE!
This six day long journey on the island’s largest fjord, Isfjorden, travels along the remote north-western coast with its many inlets and seven mighty glacier fronts and away from most of the boat traffic. The silence is overpowering, only broken by your paddle strokes and nature’s own sounds, a curious seal maybe or the amazing sound of glaciers cracking and calving. During six days we visit a wide range of exciting destinations - we decide the length of our paddle ourselves, and each day will be like a new expedition. Each night we will set up camp in a new location, camping under the stars in the Arctic wilderness!
We use both single kayaks and steady double kayaks on this expedition. There are a set number of kayaks, so participants must be prepared to alternate between paddling single and double. Our guides are experienced kayak paddlers and will at all times ensure the groups safety. If the weather is difficult we will go trekking in the beautiful area surrounding the camps.
Participants will be asked to assist with the polar bear watch during the night.
