Polar bear tours

David & Mark's verdict

Polar bears are awesome creatures - graceful, powerful, fierce yet vulnerable. Canada is the place to see them. From your base in Churchill, the only town in the world where the bears can be viewed in the wild, you can take helicopter flights and expeditions across the frozen tundra. You might even witness the Northern Lights – ticking off two of the world's greatest sights in one trip.

Canadian Sky says

The world’s largest land predator has long been admired in films and documentaries. And you can learn more about these formidable creatures, and observe them in their natural habitat, on a 6-night expedition to Churchill in Canada.

Our Great Ice Bear Tour runs in October and November and combines a number of expeditions to view the bears, along with a dramatica aerial tour and Tundra Buggy adventure.

Highlights include a stay at Canada’s exclusive Polar Bear Lodge. You’ll be flown in by helicopter and spend a full day on a Tundra Buggy adventure where you’ll be transported across the ice on a huge rubber-tyred vehicle. Positioned 10ft above ground with a large window and rear viewing deck, you will enjoy a superb vantage point.

It is this opportunity to see polar bears in the most natural setting possible, combined with the luxurious wilderness lodge and an unobstructed view of the Northern Lights in the night sky, that makes this sell-out tour unique.
