Arctic Challenge: Hike & kayak - Svalbard Wildlife Expeditions
The Arctic Challenge. We kayak across the fjord before we start climbing to the summit of Hiorthfjellet at 1000 meters.
From Longyearbyen, you see the majestic mountain Hiortfjellet. Many feel attracted to this mountain and this is your opportunity to ascend it. But it is a tough trip. First, we need to get across the fjord in kayaks, then we scale a 1000 meter high mountain. On the summit of Hiortfjellet we are rewarded in a great view. Your nature guide will give you all necessary safety instructions. You do not need any previous kayak experience to join this trip. The trip is demanding.
Important information:
You must be able to swim, but no prior kayaking experience needed. The trip can be strenuous on arms and shoulders. We use double kayaks.
If you have a physical disability, please reach out to us for the possibility of a private tour.
