About Speed Boat Trip to a Walrus Colony in Svalbard.
Well organised and with great staff, we had a comfortable ride over to the walrus colony Webber we were able to walk on the shore and observe the walrus. We also got closer to the nearby glacier. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly

About Boat Tour to Ny-Ålesund, the Northernmost City in the World in Svalbard.
Fascinating village of Ny Alesund especially for those interested in polar exploration. Fast boat though it can bounce if the waves are high. Bring a large telephoto zoom !
