Catching the light - Blue light with dinner

Catching the Light is an evening snowmobile tour in Svalbard. It runs through snow-covered valleys and over frozen riverbeds in the twilight that follows the polar night, when the sky turns purple and the snowy terrain looks deep blue. The ride ends with a three-course supper in a wooden cabin in a remote valley.

On the way, the group stops at a panoramic viewpoint with a view over the fjords and the lights of Longyearbyen. At the cabin, guests eat around the fireplace. After supper the ride continues through Adventdalen, where Svalbard reindeer are often seen looking for food in the snow at this time of year. The terrain is flat and very easy. The tour lasts five hours, and Better Moments' page gives no distance. A minimum of two participants is needed.

Included are the snowmobile and fuel, a full thermal suit, helmet, gloves and boots, a safety briefing with emergency equipment, a guide, the three-course dinner, warm drinks and insurance. Optional extra snowmobile insurance can be added during booking, and one policy covers a shared vehicle. Guests who have food allergies or dietary restrictions should tell the operator in advance.

The tour suits most people, with no snowmobile experience needed. The minimum age is 12. Drivers must hold a valid physical driver's licence, because digital or app-based licences and photos are not accepted. The guide checks every licence before departure. Private or adapted versions are available on request. The tour runs every night from 22 March 2027 to 18 April 2027. Guests are picked up at their hotels at 19:00.
