Team Penguin or Team Polar Bear – Which Would You Rather See?

You can sail every sea the world has to offer. Traverse all the land of the earth just to experience real adventure tour. Go on a trip to Antarctica, where the atmosphere is colder, drier and windier. Or choose to go on top of the world and visit the remotest destination of the Arctic. Described by many as the ultimate travel destinations, Antarctica and Artic has a lot of spectacular views to offer.

If you have travel and haven’t seen colonies with thousands of penguins, you haven’t really seen it all.  You really haven’t been on a real adventure if you haven’t spotted a polar bear manning magnificent icebergs on a quiet afternoon.

Greg Grainger Adventure Tours offer adventure treks on these 2 most exciting destinations. On November 26, our ship will cruise to the wonderful Weddell Sea in the Antarctic. In this tour, 2 helicopters are used for ferry landing transfers and we provide guests with a close encounter to see colonies of Emperor Penguins up close. If you are a Team Penguin, this will definitely be a fascinating and once in a lifetime trip experience for you.

Another upcoming tour for next year would be the tour to Spitsbergen & Franz Josef Land to see the polar bears in action. This remotest Russian High Arctic Archipelago is home to not just the polar bears but exotic walruses and birds in the wild. Team Polar bear will definitely have an unforgettable experience following in the footsteps of famous Arctic explorers.

Outdoors from the Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge

Located 800 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle on Somerset Island, the Arctic Watch wilderness lodge is a permanent facility that provides accommodation similar to that of a hotel, but in a remote setting. Guests are far away from most human habitation, and are left with the great outdoors and the abundant wildlife.

Somerset Island does not have any permanent human residents but it does have polar bears, muskox, a number of seabirds, and it attracts as many as two thousand white beluga whales each year. It is one of the best places in the world to observe these whales while many of them gather at the mouth of the Cunningham River to nurse their young, or moult their skin. From the lodge, the viewing locations are just a fifteen minute walk. There is no particular time to whale watch so guests can do so as they please.

Aside from the wildlife, the island also presents opportunities to hike mountains and explore the various canyons. A bonus for history junkies are the numerous archaeological and historical sites that can easily be visited by land or sea. The majority of these sites had belonged to the Paleo-Eskimo and Thule people. 

After a long day of adventure, guests can have a meal back at the lodge, and they can either cook their own or have their meal prepared for them. If they go for the latter, they can expect to sample some local food, such as barbecued caribou burgers or roasted racks of muskox, which is the perfect way to cap off a long day of adventure.
