"Catch of the day"

Catch of the Day is a daily boat trip in Isfjorden on Svalbard. The destination changes each day within the fjord and is picked according to the weather and the chance of meeting wildlife, so the route stays flexible. The focus is on glaciers, scenery and animals. The boats are enclosed, heated RIB boats with large windows, and guests can also step out onto the aft deck while sailing.

The boat often heads for the glaciers in the northern part of Isfjorden, where walls of ice calve into the sea and seals may rest on the ice. From May to August the trip also includes one of the fjord's bird cliffs, where guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins nest. The operator states that wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, that the animals roam freely, and that later in the season many species move south. In that case the guides shift attention to the scenery, local history and autumn light. Under Svalbard regulations the boat keeps 500 metres from polar bears and 150 metres from walruses.

The tour lasts five hours. It includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, an experienced Arctic guide, a dinner or a lunch with soft and hot drinks, safety gear and SAR insurance. Guests are asked to report food allergies or dietary restrictions beforehand. The tour needs at least six participants. It is open to everyone from age 4.

Departures run every day from 1 May 2027 to 30 September 2027. Guests are collected at their hotels at 18:00 in the months May through August, and at 10:00 in September.
