Explore the beautiful Arctic nature through guided tours, whale watching or mountain hikes. Day trips such as boat, mountain and kayak trips can be booked at the campsite. The street between the airport/campsite and town is outside the 'city-safety-zone' but is in general considered to be safe over summer, as the risk of meeting a Polar bear near town, means the risk of meeting a polar bear that was not seen by anyone else before.(As soon as a polar bear is spotted close to town, it will be scared away.) Between town and the airport/campsite are many cars driving, therefore it will be most likely seen, before you do. Still, you are on Spitsbergen, so there is always a risk. If you are not comfortable with this situation, we recommend you to take a taxi.
