SCHEDULED EXPEDITIONS

Schedule expeditions run in the spring and summer during the nicest periods of arctic weather. Endless days of 24 hours sun light and temperatures generally close to freezing (in spring) and into the mid teens (celcius) during the summer times make this the most comfortable time to visit the arctic in relative comfort. Our scheduled expeditions generally vary between 6-8 participants and range from 10 to 14 days long.

The spring floe edge expeditions travel out to the where the solid arctic ice ends and the open ocean begins. Whales tend to congregate around the floe ege as the ice blocks their migratory routes and polar bears also patrol the edge. There is a good chance to spot Narwhals and Beluga at the floe edges in Hudson Bay and the Northwest Passage while Bowhead whales abound in the Foxe Basin.

Amongst the pack runs in early July and takes expedition members out by boat into the pack ice in search of large groups of walrus. This expedition also typically coincides with the arrival of the Bowhead whale - the largest of the arctic whales.

Our Arctic Summer expedition provides the opportunity to swim or paddle around Beluga whales and to travel by boat along the shore in search of polar bears following the coast line.
