The Experience
What your day looks like
This is the ultimate day trip adventure where you will experience nature both at sea and on land – beginning with a paddle across the fjord (roughly 3 km over) to the majestic mountain of Hiorthfjellet. After this, we change out of the kayaking gear and prepare for the hike up towards the top where lunch will be had with panorama views! The Arctic Challenge is a bucket list tour when visiting Svalbard – are you up for the challenge?
