Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Get up close and personal with the icy rim of Svalbard and skid past incredible glaciers! Keep an eye out for wildlife along the way too!
Rigid inflatable boats (RIB) are the perfect way to discover the coast of Svalbard, as it allows you to get as close as possible to all the impressive ice formations along the way. In the springtime, the melting ice here sparkles in the Midnight Sun, and the newly thawed terrain makes space to explore the seas.
On this tour, your guide will show you some of the coast's most interesting rock formations. Leaving the Isfjord, you will set off to the mountain range of the northwest, skipping over the waves against a beautiful backdrop. The silence there is an experience in itself, but if you're lucky, it might be broken by the noises of Svalbard's wildlife. Keep an eye out for a cheeky seal or discreet whale along the way!
Lunch will be served during your excursion, along with snacks and hot drinks for the journey. Book now for an exhilarating RIB boat tour of Svalbard's stunning ice world!
Please note that the exact duration and itinerary of the activity are entirely weather-dependent. However, the Captain will always choose the best route, setting a course westward, towards Ymerbukta or Yoldiabukta.
