RV travelers and others can take a walk on the wild side with Warbelow’s Air Ventures Inc. and view Alaska’s most treasured Arctic mammal, the polar bear. A new two-day tours takes guests on a scenic flight from Fairbanks to the Inupiat Eskimo village of Kaktovik, located 260 miles above the Arctic Circle.
Accessible only by air, Kaktovik is the only village located within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The scheduled departures of September 5, 12 and October 3 correspond with the annual subsistence whale hunt. Polar bears arrive to forage on the remains of the hunt and are so frequently seen, bear sightings are guaranteed or travelers receive a full refund.
Tours include transportation, meals, accommodation and guided viewing expeditions. Additional departures may be added for large groups upon request. For more information, visit www.warbelows.com.

WoW!!!!! You can't believe this tour up to Kaktovik seeing Polar Bears that Art Warbelow puts on.
My wife and I went last year and we're going to do it again this year. Only this time we'll know to take a better camera than our old 35mm. The only thing to have for this tour to see Polar Bears is a digital so we can get many more pictures.
On top of everything else the price of going up with Warbelows is only about 25% of what it cost to go to Canada. And you don't need a passport either.
On top of everything else you can't believe how well you are treated on this trip by the people in the village.
And there's something that will blow your mind when you see the very small boats that they use to hunt as well as bring them back to the village.
This is one of those trips of a lifetime. Only wished I'd done it years before so I could have these memories for years and years as I can still in my mind hear that deep visceral rumbling noise they use on each other when they are feeding.
And you don't have to worry about safety as there are men from the village that are there with rifles. They fire them in the air if a bear starts to get curious. It scares them back to where the "bone yard" is where they are feeding.
