Polar Bears and Glaciers of Baffin Island
Baffin Island exploration on foot and by boat | 11 days
See majestic Baffin Island polar bears swimming amongst icebergs and possibly even bowhead whales, up-close and in their wild, unspoiled natural habitat. Experience the long, mild days of the Arctic summer and its seemingly endless sunsets. Since most of the wildlife and accessible Arctic highlights are near shorelines you will spend the day travelling on boats including snacks and hot drinks with chances to get out at planned features and lunchtimes. Explore the coastline by boat and take in the exceptional beauty of Baffin Island’s glacier-capped mountains range, granite lined fiords, and the world-famous Auyuittuq National Park.
An exclusive opportunity, excellent for a family-friendly holiday, birthdays, adventurers, and photographers who appreciate rare wildlife sightings – found only in the Arctic wilderness
