Watch Bowhead Whales and Polar Bears in Arctic Canada

 
Nimmo Bay

Fancy a week-long opportunity to experience the majesty of the Canadian Arctic and see the newly discovered bowhead whales moulting site – one of the rarest wildlife experiences in the Arctic?

Staying at the Premium Safari Camp you’ll see majestic polar bears swimming amongst icebergs and possibly even bowhead whales, up-close and in their wild unspoiled natural habitat off the glacier-capped coastline of Baffin Island and Auyuittuq National Park.

Perfect for families, adventurers, and photographers seeking rare wildlife sightings found only in the Arctic. The holiday includes the chance to observe polar bears, search for Bowhead Whales and visit a newly discovered bowhead moulting site (a shallow bay where they slough off dead skin). Plus take a hike and kayak at the foot of Coronation Fiord where the Penny Ice Cap Glacier ends abruptly in the sea and visit to Canada’s stunning Auyuittuq National Park.

Prices with Summit & Blue are from £6,200 per person including flights, accommodation at Premium Safari Camp on land, full board, the services of Arctic Kingdom Expedition Leaders and Inuit guides, all day trips by land or boat and return transfers in Qikiqtarjuaq.
