OUR EXPERIENCES 
Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen offers bold, immersive Arctic adventures from their three unique outposts in Svalbard.

With small-group experiences, authentic accommodations, and deep local expertise, Basecamp Explorer opens the gateway to the raw beauty and wild spirit of the High Arctic.

ABOUT US 
Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen creates authentic and sustainable Arctic adventures that connect people with Svalbard’s raw nature, wildlife, and history, while safeguarding the fragile environment and supporting the local community.
We aim to be the leading provider of responsible, once-in-a-lifetime Arctic experiences, inspiring travelers worldwide to value and protect the wilderness of the High Arctic.

OUR IMPACT
Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen demonstrates how tourism can be a force for good by balancing guest experiences with long-term care for nature, culture, and community. Through small-group, low-impact expeditions, we protect the fragile Arctic environment while creating authentic, meaningful encounters for our guests. By employing local guides, collaborating with small businesses, and sharing Svalbard’s rich heritage, we strengthen community resilience and ensure cultural traditions remain alive.

Our commitment extends beyond operations to measurable environmental and educational impact. From running wilderness lodges with a focus on reducing emissions and waste, to supporting wildlife and habitat conservation through the Basecamp Explorer Foundation, we invest directly in safeguarding the Arctic. Every journey is an opportunity for education, empowering travelers with knowledge of climate change, polar wildlife, and cultural history. This holistic model — built over nearly two decades — proves that responsible tourism can deliver transformative guest experiences while preserving the very landscapes and communities that make them possible.
