About the activity

Attention all photography enthusiasts! Discover Svalbard's diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes during this immersive photography tour.

After being picked up at your accommodations or at the Svalbard Tourist Center, the adventure begins! You and your group will depart for 3-4.5 hours (the duration depends on both the season and the weather) for a day of exploration, observation, and photography. No prior photography experience is necessary! Your seasoned guide is an experienced wildlife photographer and is more than happy to offer advice regarding equipment, lighting, camera settings, etc.

During the excursion, you'll be taken to various remote locations. There is no endpoint, as the focus of the tour depends on the season, lighting, weather, and which species are present at the moment. Embrace your inner explorer as you move between several locales by car, stopping to hike from a few meters/feet to several km/miles to get the perfect shot and observe these amazing creatures in their natural habitat!

Midway through the experience, you'll enjoy a well-deserved break with warm black currant juice as well as delicious biscuits and thin-folded pastries with butter and cinnamon, a popular local treat! After spending hours taking in the stunning mountainous landscapes of Svalbard, you'll be taken back to your accommodations, satisfied with a day well spent in the great outdoors.

Capture the magnificent scenery and the wonderful animals of Svalbard to remember for years to come!

Everything was very goot organized and on time. We only spotted two animals: the reindeer and the snow-chick, but it was nice.

This tour is fantastic! I have done it twice- once in winter and once in summer! In winter, we saw foxes, walruses, ptarmigans, reindeer, etc.
