Day 3: Polar Bear Tour

Take a boat to learn about the ecology and culture of Svalbard. Go out on the deck to observe polar animals. If you are lucky, you may encounter polar bears! However, due to the protection policy, no activities chasing polar bears are allowed in the local area, and you must keep your distance from polar bears. So friends who want to see polar bears, remember to go out to sea for a few more days and bring cameras and binoculars. The tour guide said that the probability of encountering polar bears at one or two o'clock in the afternoon is higher~
Finally, before the end, blowing the wind on the Arctic Ocean, taking a sip of hot wild berry juice, and biting a fragrant cinnamon roll, the most pleasant time is this moment.
Cost: HKD2600

Total consumption: about 17,000HKD

Friends who feel that the itinerary is too rushed can reserve two more days to visit the "ghost town" Pyramiden and Barentsburg (note that you can only go ashore from mid-June to mid-August in summer)

Finally, I suggest that you go to Svalbard in the summer, where you can observe unique marine life! It is also easier to adapt to the temperature (the temperature in June is almost between -1 and 3 degrees Celsius)

Warm reminder: All accommodations in Svalbard require you to take off your shoes to enter, so remember to bring your own slippers~
