One of the most exciting and rewarding trips you can do in Canada and Alaska is grizzly bear and/or polar bear viewing. We have a range of trips available offering spectacular grizzly bear viewing in Katmai National Park, Khutzeymateen Grizzly Sanctuary and Knight Inlet.
Experience one of the world’s great wildlife adventures on the shores of Hudson Bay in Manitoba. Each year in the autumn, scores of polar bears gather near Churchill, waiting for the bay to freeze over so that they can venture out onto the ice to hunt seals, their favourite prey. The world’s largest carnivore, these magnificent looking animals weigh up to 500 kg and stand up to an incredible 3 metres tall.
Highlights of our Grizzly & Polar Bear programs include:
• Grizzly bear viewing by boat or specially built platforms
• Search for Grizzlies by foot in Katmai
• Photograph & observe polar bears at close quarters
• Eat and sleep amongst polar bears on the Tundra Buggy
• Search for polar bears and other wildlife on foot
When to Go Tours to Grizzly Bear areas including Katmai National Park, Khutzeymateen Grizzly Sanctuary, Alert Bay and Knight Inlet occur generally during the Summer months (Jun - Aug) and the autumn month of Sep/early Oct when the weather is pleasant and bears found in the areas. Tours to Manitoba to view the Polar Bears occur during Oct/Nov when the bears have emerged from their snow blankets.
