Bear holidays

Would you like to watch bears play, eat and fish in their native environment? Then join one of our thrilling bear watching tours to see these magnificent creatures in the wild. Immensely powerful, yet graceful, bears inspire great affection as well as awe.

Polar bear watching is an unforgettable experience. Our polar bear safaris offer one of the most heart-stopping sights in the Arctic – encountering an 8ft long  polar bear against a backdrop of sparkling snow. Our polar bear holidays include top polar bear watching destinations in Norway, Russia and, Alaska. and the town of Churchill in Canada.

Grizzly bears are magnificent creatures – and watching them in the wild is an experience to treasure. Enjoy a grizzly bear safari at magnificent Yellowstone National Park. Or visit the unparalleled mountainous scenery of Banff National Park in the Rockies – another beautiful place for a grizzly bear safari. Visit Vancouver Island in Canada for grizzly bear watching in a breathtaking location. You may spot black bears too, and you may even see the striking white Kermode Spirit bear – considered a good omen.

Another exciting bear tour is black bear watching. We offer opportunities to see this beautiful bear across North America, from California and Colorado to Canada and Alaska.
