Scan Devon Island's tundra and icy bay waters from a Zodiac with a dedicated wildlife naturalist — polar bear, narwhal, Arctic fox, and thick-billed murres all frequent Croker Bay. A bucket-list wildlife encounter at 75°N.
What to expect
The naturalist briefs you on Devon Island's food web before casting off — then it is a living lecture in real time. Polar bears patrol the shoreline in search of ringed seals; narwhal tusks break the surface in the distance. Arctic terns and thick-billed murres wheel overhead. Your guide explains every behaviour, every track, and every sound so you leave with genuine understanding, not just photographs.
Good to know
Wildlife is never guaranteed in the wild Arctic — that is precisely what makes a sighting extraordinary. Dress in thermal layers topped by a windproof shell; gloves are essential even in summer. Zodiac access is weather-dependent. Book early through Adventure Canada; spaces fill quickly on departures calling at Croker Bay.
