The highlight of the next few days is to witness the grace and majesty of mother polar bears in their natural habitat, while their cubs tumble and explore. On snowmobiles, scouts track the polar bears. When they find their dens they radio the location to heated, tracked vans so you can head over. On some days, you can enjoy visits to known den locations, while on other days, you may spend time seeking a new one. Travel time from the lodge to the dens vary depending on where the den sites are, but you can generally expect a 20 minute to 1 hour or more drive to den sites.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
