Svalbard Nature Plus

In every holiday we offer, you’ll be fully equipped in order to experience the Arctic in the greatest comfort.

We put the best equipment for this type of holiday at your disposal. You’ll be equipped from head to foot for free in order to limit your personal investment in equipment.

Summer
You’ll be wearing a Gore-Tex waterproof overall with incorporated boot. This unique overall allows you to kayak without suffering from condensation and to get out from your craft without getting your feet wet. In addition to this, we’ll provide you with a Helly Hansen fleece salopette, a pair of fleece socks specifically tested for kayak, a -6°C Lestra Sport sleeping bag, a self-inflating mattress, waterproof bags for your personal belongings and all the necessary equipment for kayak and camping. All the equipment provided is high quality (Patagonia, Helsport, Helly Hansen, LestraSport, Plasmor, Ortlieb, Therm-A-Rest …). Some are tailor-made in order to be perfectly adapted to this type of holiday.

Spring
We’ll supply tents, skis, pulkas, boots, fleece, winter sleeping bags, Therm-A-Rest mats as well as all the camping equipment necessary for the trip to run smoothly.
