8-day Sailing & Trekking Adventure in Isfjorden - Svalbard Wildlife Expeditions'

Step into a world of glaciers, jagged mountains, and Arctic wilderness on this eight-day journey through Isfjorden, Spitsbergen’s largest and most diverse fjord system on the west coast. In July, the midnight sun illuminates the landscape around the clock, revealing dramatic vistas of ice and rock, while Arctic wildlife takes full advantage of the short summer. On this expedition, you’ll hike across rugged terrain, explore shimmering glaciers, and navigate remote valleys and mountains that few travelers ever reach.

Each day offers new experiences—from scrambling over moraines and fording glacial streams to wandering along driftwood-strewn beaches or paddling through bays dotted with icebergs. With every step, you’ll feel the raw power of the high Arctic: the crunch of ice beneath your boots, the cold katabatic winds rolling down from glaciers, and the endless, unspoiled scenery stretching out before you. This is Svalbard as it was meant to be experienced—wild, breathtaking, and unforgettable.
