Arctic cruises with Wildlife Trails explore the stunning scenery aound the Arctic circle and take you to remote locations around the globe, where some of the most iconic and magnificent wildlife on this planet survive and infact thrive in extreme conditions. Take advantage of the milder Arctic summer (June to September) and join an expedition vessel from Spitsbergen, Canada or Greenland; as we search for polar wildlife such as Walrus, Belugas, Narwhal Reindeer, Arctic Fox, Muskox and of course the magnificent Polar Bear.
We have personally taken these Arctic cruises, so can provide you with firsthand knowledge on the layout of the boats, routes taken, wildlife likely to be seen and the quality of the guides accompanying you in the Zodiacs and on shore, as you look for a wide variety of both terrrestrial and marine wildlife within the Arctic circle.
Clients attempting an Arctic expedition for the first time have lots of questions, such as level of fitness needed, sea conditions, how cold the temperatures are and how close they will get to the wildlife. We are here to answer all those questions for you and make sure that you have the best possible Arctic cruise experience and the chance to see Polar Bears hunting in their natural environment.

The Floe Edge in the Canadian Arctic, is truly remarkable environment, where each year over a small 3-4 week period, we have a chance to see some species which are normally found far out in the Arctic Ocean. At this time of year, we have the migration of both Walrus and Beluga Whales, so these are two of the species we will be looking for. Taking the lead from our local Inuit Guides we follow the floe edge for days of discovery, possible narwhal watching and the chance to see a variety of sea birds, polar bears, seals and possibly beluga and bowhead whales. Since we will experience close to 24 hours of sun at this time of year; there will be long full days looking to find and photographic animals perfectly adapted to survive in this challenging environment

Polar Bear Safari in the High Arctic
Way back in August 2003 we first visited the little known Inuit town of Qikitarjuaq in Nunavut, Canada - YES, it took us several years to be able to spell the name correctly! This was as far north as we had ever been on the planet; way inside the Arctic Circle and with legendary Arctic Wildlife the photographic targets for the trip. This was not just any old Polar Bear tour, this was a true High Arctic wildlife adventure; led by a local Inuit man with eagle like eyes and with him as our expert guide, we hoped to see Seals, Bowhead Whales and the legendary Narwhal.
Arctic Cruise – How to Find the Best Arctic Cruise Ship for You?
How to get a cheap Botswana Safari. You love wildlife! You love Africa! You love a good deal! Is it possible to get a cheap Botswana Safari? We love the the Swhaili meaning for the word safari which translates as ‘long journey’. It could be a journey between two villages, or a crossing of a desert; but the idea of a long journey conjures up images of several days on a simple boat cruising one of the great rift lakes, or a slow overland journey through Central and Southern Africa.
