Spitsbergen : Northern Lights - Spitsbergen Dog Sledge Safari

Encounter our remarkable Spitsbergen Northern Lights Holiday in the idyllic regions of the crisp Arctic. Visit Longyearbyen and join an incredible five-day dog sledge safari, setting camp in the valley on frozen fjords with epic views of majestic glaciers in the distance. A fantastic opportunity to witness the phenomenon of the Northern Lights on our Spitsbergen Northern Lights Holiday

Beginning in Longyearbyen, we meet our guide and the dogs for a morning briefing, before helping to pack the equipment and being taught how to drive the sledges. We set out towards Reindalen, marvelling at the wonderful scenery we pass by, with nothing but the panting from our huskies and their patter of paws upon the snow to disturb this absolute silence.Then we will set up our camp and prepare the food for both ourselves and the dogs, there will be time to relax and learn more about life in the Arctic. The following morning we cross three glaciers on our way towards the east coast. This is the realm of the polar bear and we may be lucky enough to see some of these magnificent creatures over the coming days, as our journey leads us north along the coast and over glaciers and mountain passes up to 700m high. Breathtaking views across the pack ice and mountains behind provide a stunning backdrop to our trip before we finally make our way back to Longyearbyen. You will have the following day to explore Longyearbyen and maybe visit the museum or gallery before a farewell dinner at Spitsbergen Hotel.
