<h2>Northern Lights Hunt by Minibus & Svalbard Global Seed Vault</h2> <p>An evening aurora hunt for small groups. We pick you up at your hotel, drive out of Longyearbyen to where the sky looks clearest and stop at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the way. Between stops you stay warm in our Mercedes-Benz Vito minibus.</p> <h3>Why guests choose this tour</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Max 8 guests:</strong> a seat by the window for everyone and time for your questions.</li> <li><strong>We follow the sky:</strong> the guide checks the aurora forecast and cloud cover before departure and picks the route for the evening.</li> <li><strong>Seed Vault photo stop:</strong> the lit entrance of the Global Seed Vault and the story behind it.
