Mother Polar Bears & Newborn Cubs

Spend these days witnessing the grace and majesty of mother polar bears in their natural habitat while their cubs tumble and explore. On snowmobiles, guides will scout the polar bear's dens in advance. When they find their dens, they radio the location to our heated, tracked vans offering unprecedented and comfortable access to denning habitats. On some days, we'll enjoy visits to known denning locations, while on other days, we may seek new, unknown dens.

Other Wildlife & Northern Lights

Travel time from the lodge to the dens will vary, but you can generally expect a 20 to 60 minute or more drive. Wildlife viewing, including caribou and ptarmigan, is also possible. Enjoy hot dinners at the lodge, and if the conditions are right, watch the dancing Northern Lights at night.
