Join us for a relaxing and memorable evening by the Isfjorden, where we slow down, enjoy the beautiful Arctic surroundings, and take time to look for some of the amazing bird wildlife that makes Svalbard so special.
When the activity of the day fades away and the crowds have returned to town, a different side of the Arctic appears. The bird lagoon becomes calm and peaceful, and this is the perfect time to sit quietly, listen to nature, and watch the many Arctic birds that call this area home.
Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation, and together we’ll drive along the coastline towards the Isfjorden. Once we arrive at the lagoon, we’ll find the best place to enjoy the evening. Sometimes we’ll settle into the cozy wooden shelter, and other times we’ll take a gentle walk along the lagoon to get a closer look at the bird wildlife and find the perfect viewing spot.
This is an evening where there is no need to rush. We’ll take our time, enjoy the endless light of the Midnight Sun, and simply experience the peaceful atmosphere of the Arctic. With a warm drink in your hands and a small sweet treat to enjoy, you can sit back and watch life unfold around you.
The lagoon is an important nesting area for many Arctic birds. During the summer months, you may see Arctic terns, ducks, geese, and many other species preparing for their long journey south. The Arctic tern is especially fascinating, as it completes one of the longest migrations of any bird in the world. With some luck, we may also spot the Rock Ptarmigan, the only bird that stays on Svalbard throughout the winter.
But the surprises of the Arctic do not end with the birds. Our guide will keep an eye on the fjord, as beluga whales or a walrus sometimes make a special appearance. The area is also a favourite hunting ground for the Arctic fox, so keep your eyes open as we explore the shoreline.
This is a simple but special Arctic experience. A quiet evening surrounded by nature, wildlife, and the incredible landscapes of Svalbard.
Come share a peaceful Arctic evening with us, where the only schedule is set by the wildlife and the endless light of the Midnight Sun!
