From breathtaking aurora borealis sightings and wild landscapes to encounters with magnificent wildlife, our Arctic adventure tours will take you on a journey you'll never forget.
Why Arctic Wildlife Tours?
When we say 'exclusive', we are not talking about luxurious comfort or gourmet meals - but we promise you will be very comfortable...
We are talking about the limited capacity on our small vessels, where you’ll join just 12 fellow travellers on an intimate journey into the Arctic wilderness.
This exclusivity allows you to truly connect with nature, free from the crowds, while ensuring we leave only the lightest of footprints on the fragile polar environment.
Our Arctic adventure tours are designed to embody this philosophy of respect and closeness to nature—not as a slogan, but as a way of travelling that guides every choice we make, from how we navigate remote waters to how we encounter wildlife responsibly.
Our Expert Guides
Our guides are not only Arctic experts but also highly skilled photographers, each with extensive experience as expedition leaders on Arctic adventure tours.
Their knowledge goes far beyond navigation—they act as interpreters of the polar environment, helping you to see, understand and appreciate the unique rhythms of life in the High Arctic. With deep respect for the fragile ecosystem, they will introduce you to our philosophy of honouring and protecting Arctic wildlife.
Every encounter—whether with polar bears, seabirds, whales, or the tiniest signs of tundra life—is treated as a chance to reconnect with nature, reflect on our place within it, and relearn the value of biodiversity that sustains us all.

Svalbard winter photography
26. Mar 2027 - 03. Apr 2027
Svalbard winter photography expedition offers some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. The dramatic landscape, composed of towering mountains, deep fjords, sweeping valleys, and the vast expanse of the Arctic Ocean, makes this region an extraordinary destination for exploration and photography. At this time of year, the landscapes themselves are the primary focus, though wildlife is never far from sight. The dramatic setting is enhanced by the presence of polar bears, which can often be seen traversing the scenic terrain or drifting across ice floes. These encounters provide breathtaking photographic opportunities in the heart of the Arctic wilderness.

An Arctic winter photography expedition by snowmobile on Svalbard offers a rare opportunity to experience the High Arctic at its most beautiful and stunning time of the year.

Our base will be a winter camp, where heated tents provide shelter after long days in the field. Reindeer hides, warm sleeping bags, and stove-heated tents will make resting time comfortable despite the Arctic conditions. These elements make the expedition both a memorable adventure and a powerful photographic experience.

Pack Ice Expedition South Svalbard
20. Jun 2027 - 29. Jun 2027
As an Svalbard Tour Operator, Arctic Wildlife Tours have long experience. This time we are inviting you to join us to explore a new area on Svalbard. From back in time the southeastern parts of Svalbard have been considered the best areas for encountering polar bears and other wildlife. From our experience we agree. The challenge there have been heavy ice and very few expedition vessel want to go there. Our new high ice class vessel Kvitungen puts us in a different situation. Kvitungen has the ice capacity to navigate these very interesting areas and this expedition is made possible by the ice-strengthened vessel Kvitungen. We believe it will be great opportunities for wildlife during this expedition.

Svalbard September Pack Ice Expedition
21. Sep 2027 - 30. Sep 2027
Join us for an unforgettable expedition to Svalbard aboard the ice-strengthened M/S Kvitungen, a vessel designed to navigate Arctic waters with confidence. In our opinion, late September is a fantastic time to experience the archipelago and its wildlife. Sunrises and sunsets can create dramatic light across the mountains, fjords, and ice. Changing weather, fresh snow, and the approach of winter add even more atmosphere to the landscape. The ice-strengthened vessel can navigate the pack ice even in late September. However, we will remain alert to freezing nights, when ice conditions can change quickly and the pack ice may begin to close around the vessel.
