Arctic Luxury

After a day exploring in Svalbard, you have captured many new memories and enjoyed your first outdoor expedition lunch. Snowmobiling in the Arctic winter can be strenuous with many impressions, cold temperatures and lodes of fresh air. This leads to an immense feeling of wellbeing when arriving at Isfjord Radio, a warm and comfortable boutique hotel with a level of quality that is unexpected this far into the wilderness. Experience the stillness and the light which is impossible to find other places. Relish the homemade food and the facilities offered.

Day 1

The trips start when meeting your guide in the hotel reception at 10AM. From here we drive to our expedition centre for the tour briefing and introduction to snowmobiling. You will be provided with a snowmobile suit, gloves, balaclava, helmet and winter boots for the drive. When everyone is all set, we head off into the white landscape.

We will enjoy a proper expedition lunch on the way and listen to the all-encompassing silence of the High Arctic. In the afternoon we arrive at our remote destination, and your hosts will introduce you to all the aspects of living in such a vast location.

Look forward to tonight’s menu, based on local ingredients. A culinary experience.

Day 2

After a substantial breakfast it is time to pack our bags and warm up the snowmobile for a new day of adventures. Say goodbye to your new friends at Isfjord Radio before we set direction towards Longyearbyen. Your guide will set the route of the day, depending on the weather and snow conditions.
Consider this drive as a huge part of your adventure in the Arctic. Driving through the majestic landscape is a breathtaking experience. You will make short stops at interesting spots and have an outdoor lunch during the trip.

We expect to be back at your hotel in Longyearbyen around 4PM.

Clothing and equipment

Pack as little as possible for this trip. We recommend a waterproof backpack of around 35-42 litre. Your bigger luggage can be stored at your hotel while you are out exploring.

Necessary clothing in the Arctic is woollen thermals as the base layer, warm wool or fleece trousers & sweater on the top. Two layers of socks (thin & thick woollen socks), windproof layer on the top. Spacious clothing is recommended because air is the best insulation. Windproof mittens with a warm liner or thick gloves, a warm hat, scarf or flees- tube is also a must have in Svalbard.

Good to have with you to Isfjord Radio is indoor shoes or extra woollen socks. Leisure wear/ casual clothing for dinner, toilet articles, sunglasses, sunscreen (not based on water because of low temperatures, binoculars to spot and study the wildlife, photo camera, contact lenses if you normally use glasses).

Note

All drivers of snowmobiles on Svalbard must be able to present driving licenses for passenger cars/class B, and the driving licenses must be issued in a country that is a party to the Geneva Convention of 1949 or the Vienna Convention of 1968 on road traffic. The driver’s license must be valid in the issuing country. Your driver’s license must be presented before the tour starts. This trip requires minimum two snowmobile drivers without passengers. We may also need to change the number of drivers and passengers in the group. This is in terms of safety reasons.

This trip is not suitable for persons suffering from back pains or pregnant women. This is due to safety for your safety and wellbeing, and Basecamp Explorer can unfortunately not to take responsibility for health problems if this advice is neglected.

In Spitsbergen, weather conditions can change quickly. We can meet heavy winds, snowstorms, thick fog, crevasses and lack of snow or ice. This means we might need to make changes to the planed route, and this might lead up us not arriving to the planned destination. It can also mean that we need to use a different transportation style or accommodation than what was described in the program.

Please read our Terms & Conditions before booking your adventure.
