点评:Since no other company currently offers day tours to Pyramiden, I ended up booking with Grumant — and what can I say? Everything went smoothly from start to finish. From the initial contact and communication to the booking process and the tour itself, everything was perfect.
Booking manager Simon, guide Varvara, the local guide in Pyramiden (unfortunately I forgot her name), and Captain Dmitry were all incredibly reliable and trustworthy. The guides in particular were not only knowledgeable but also warm, engaging, and great with people.
Pyramiden is an absolute must when visiting Svalbard — such a unique and surreal place. It truly feels like stepping back into the USSR!
My tour was actually on a boat they don’t advertise online! While the website only shows dates for the open RIB boat, I went on a closed boat — a former research vessel called Barentsburg. It has a small indoor sitting area around a table and plenty of deck space to stay outside if the weather allows. It’s surprisingly cozy and comfortable. It only takes 9 passengers and it´s nice to travel in such a small group.
So if you're interested in visiting Pyramiden but don’t see any available dates online, just send them a message. There might be a tour planned with the Barentsburg, and they’ll also let you know if a spot opens up later.
On the way to Pyramiden, we stopped to admire the stunning Nordenskjöld Glacier, and on the return journey we entered Skansbukta — a beautiful bay with dramatic mountain scenery and a shipwreck on the shore.
Unlike the RIB tour, you can’t go ashore at Skansbukta with the Barentsburg vessel, but that didn’t feel like a big downside. The views from the deck were impressive enough and offered a fantastic perspective of the landscape.
翻译:由于目前没有其他公司提供前往金字塔岛的一日游,我最终选择了Grumant——怎么说呢?一切都从头到尾都很顺利。从最初的联系和沟通,到预订流程以及行程本身,一切都堪称完美。
预订经理Simon、导游Varvara、金字塔岛的当地导游(可惜我忘了她的名字)以及船长Dmitry都非常可靠可靠。尤其是导游们,他们不仅知识渊博,而且热情友好,善于与人相处。
金字塔岛是斯瓦尔巴群岛的必游之地——一个如此独特而又超现实的地方。感觉真的回到了苏联!
我的行程实际上是乘坐了一艘他们没有在网上宣传的船!虽然网站上只显示开放式RIB船的日期,但我乘坐的是一艘封闭式船——一艘名为“巴伦支堡”的前科考船。船上有一个围绕桌子的小型室内休息区,如果天气允许,甲板上也有足够的空间可以待在户外。它出奇地温馨舒适。它只搭载9名乘客,小团出行感觉很棒。
所以,如果你对参观金字塔岛感兴趣,但在网上没有看到任何可订日期,可以给他们留言。他们可能会安排巴伦支堡之旅,如果之后有空位,他们也会通知你。
在去金字塔岛的路上,我们停下来欣赏了壮丽的诺登舍尔德冰川。回程时,我们进入了斯坎斯布克塔——一个美丽的海湾,拥有壮丽的山景,岸边还有一艘沉船。
与RIB之旅不同,巴伦支堡的船只不能在斯坎斯布克塔上岸,但这感觉不算什么大问题。甲板上的景色令人印象深刻,提供了绝佳的景观视角。
