Polar Bear Tours

If you're eager to see polar bears in their natural habitat, here are three prime locations to consider:

• Svalbard, Norway: Svalbard is one of the best places to observe polar bears in the wild. This archipelago, located in the Arctic Ocean, is home to a significant population of polar bears. The stunning Arctic landscapes provide a breathtaking backdrop for wildlife viewing.

• Greenland: The eastern and northern coasts of Greenland provide excellent opportunities for observing polar bears, especially in regions like Northeast Greenland National Park. Our cruises include opportunities for wildlife watching and education about the local ecosystem. The breathtaking scenery and chance to see polar bears make Greenland a unique destination for Arctic adventurers.

• Baffin Island, Canada: Baffin Island offers a remote and pristine environment for polar bear sightings, particularly in the spring and summer months. The island’s rugged terrain and rich biodiversity make it an attractive destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Our tours allow you to explore the area while increasing the chances of encountering polar bears in their natural habitat, as well as other Arctic wildlife.

The ideal months for observing polar bears generally align with their migration and hunting patterns:

May to July: During these months, polar bears are often seen along the coasts as the ice melts, providing opportunities to witness their behavior and interactions in search of seals. This period provides an excellent opportunity to witness the bears' interactions, such as mothers teaching their cubs essential survival skills. The longer daylight hours of early summer also enhance visibility, making it easier to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Late July to August: These summer months are great for spotting polar bears in Arctic regions where they roam freely in search of food. This is a crucial time for polar bears to build up their fat reserves before the return of winter. You can catch glimpses of polar bears engaging in playful behaviors, swimming, or resting on land.
