WildPhoto Tours & Expeditions
Welcome to WildPhoto Travel, a Svalbard-based company specializing in high-quality photo tours and expeditions. Founded by award-winning photographer Ole J Liodden and his wife Kirsti, we invite passionate photographers to explore breathtaking polar destinations alongside our expert guide team. Our mission is to help you capture stunning images while deepening your knowledge, respect, and appreciation for the natural world.

WildPhoto Travel offers you an exclusive experience with small groups of just 12 guests aboard our ice-strengthened expedition ship - MS Virgo. This vessel allows us to safely navigate Polar waters, and even the drifting pack ice north of Svalbard, reaching places inaccessible to most other ships. Equipped with two spacious zodiacs, you will have plenty of room for your camera gear and the opportunity to photograph wildlife and landscapes up close, from a lower perspective, and far away from the crowds.

Since our start in 2006, WildPhoto Travel has organized over 150 photo tours and expeditions to some of the most remote and spectacular regions on Earth, including Svalbard, Greenland, Alaska, Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands. We’re proud to be the only locally-based company operating small expedition ships in Svalbard, ensuring that all payments to WildPhoto Travel directly support the Longyearbyen (Svalbard) community.

Our commitment extends beyond photography; we are deeply passionate about protecting the Arctic’s nature and wildlife. Actively involved in conservation efforts like the Polar Bears & Humans project, we focus not only on capturing incredible images but also on preserving the species we love to photograph.

If you're a passionate photographer seeking an unforgettable adventure with knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides, join us on your next photo expedition!
