-Spitsbergen Guide Service-

Spitsbergen Guide Service (SGS) was established in 2014 by enthusiastic and dedicated Svalbard guides who wanted to add something extra and exclusive to the Spitsbergen tourism. With our adventures and skiing trips we explore areas nearly untouched by humans. For us it´s important to share and conway Svalbard history and culture, have high quality of crew and equipment in combination with the highest level of safety, service and comfort. 

Our TARGA boats, Spitsbergen Express (Targa 42) and Anna (Targa 37) are comfortable, warm boats and the best vessels to use in Arctic oceans. Targa 42 has won the award for the best boat in the world in its class. Targa 42 is nicknamed;  "the SUV of the seas" and that's for a reason. We are proud of providing tours and cruises around Svalbard with our Targas and a professional, experienced and dedicated crew. If you have a dream of an Arctic adventure - contact us, and we'll do our best to make it come true. Below you'll get to know the these guys.
 

Connect to nature, enjoy life!
