Looking out onto the vast ice floe, we spy them, white on white. Alternately regal and whimsical and always awe inspiring, polar bears in the wild offer a natural encounter charged with drama and magic. Come face to face with these kings of the North. You'll have the chance to watch polar bears in their natural habitat and explore their icy wilderness while cruising in the warmth of a large, spacious tundra vehicle.
