About Arctic Footsteps

Arctic Footsteps is a locally owned tour operator based in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, creating meaningful and unforgettable experiences in the High Arctic. We offer guided hikes, snowmobile tours, cultural excursions, wildlife experiences, and tailor-made adventures designed to reveal the beauty, history, and atmosphere of this remarkable region.

We believe the Arctic is best experienced with people who know it well. That is why our tours combine local knowledge, personal guiding, and thoughtful storytelling, creating experiences that feel more authentic, more personal, and more memorable.

Why travel with us

Local knowledge

We know Svalbard through daily life, changing seasons, and firsthand experience in the field.

Small groups

We keep our experiences personal, giving each guest more space, more attention, and a stronger connection to the place.

Tailor-made experiences

Alongside our scheduled tours, we also create private and bespoke adventures shaped around your interests, pace, and travel plans.

Private and tailor-made experiences

For guests looking for something more personal, we design private Arctic experiences with care and flexibility. These can include hiking days, photography-focused outings, wildlife experiences, cultural excursions, or multi-activity programmes created around your interests.

Our goal is to help guests discover Svalbard in a thoughtful, flexible, and memorable way
