Arctic Ocean Tour
With our SVOP Certified Captain and MedA3 Certified Crew, under 24-hour daylight cruise by boat the Arctic Circle area of Admiralty Inlet to Lancaster Sound. The water is very cold and Icebergs can be seen all summer. Understand the vast distance and space in the Arctic. See birds and wildlife behave as they did before people came to the area.
Polar Bears, Narwhal, Walrus, Seals, Beluga, Bow Head Whale, Orca, Ivory Gull, and many more are at home in the Arctic Circle. Most of the mammals do not migrate south but live year-round in the Arctic. While most of the birds do migrate south in the winter months, some stay year-round such as the Raven and Ivory Gull. Polar Bears are not threatened, so far, in the Arctic Circle and must be respected. They will hunt you and look at you as a meal.
We recommend this trip for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, naturalists, urbanites, bird watchers, open-minded and people that want to learn other cultures, etc.
We do not recommend this trip to vegans, vegetarians, closed-minded, or people with low tolerance of cultural differences, etc.
