Enjoy Norwegian waffles at Camp Barentz
Discover the history of Svalbard at The Svalbard Museum
From the pier, it’s a short journey out of Longyearbyen into the Advent Valley and Camp Barentz, where the sound of happy huskies announces your arrival.
Here, an experienced musher will introduce you to the dogs and share what life is like for them in the High Arctic. Afterwards, you'll head inside for Norwegian waffles, coffee and a presentation on the polar bear – the undisputed king of the Arctic.
From there, your guide accompanies you to the Svalbard Museum, which chronicles over 400 years of history of the archipelago through fascinating artefacts and exhibitions. It's also the best place in town to have your photograph taken with a polar bear statue.

Level 1 = Easy: suitable for most
Excursions at this level are physically undemanding and suitable for most people. Level 2 = Moderate: some mobility needed
Excursions in this category involve a small amount of physical activity, but on easy terrain with few major challenges. Level 3 = Active: good mobility needed
Excursions in this category are more active and involve outdoor pursuits that require a decent level of fitness. You may be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. They are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Level 4 = Challenging: good mobility and fitness needed
These are our most challenging excursions, and require a good level of fitness. They may involve hiking or biking on uneven terrain and may also require specialist equipment. You would be expected to carry your own backpack and equipment. Excursions in this category are not suitable for those with limited mobility.
