The Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear tour was amazing! It was a long day but worth every moment. The staff and tourguides were very knowledgeable and engaging. This was absolutely the best from start to finish, although now I am exhausted! Cannot wait for my Polar Bear tour!

You and your company should be commended for a job well done.
There were about 100 of us, and we did not hear one complaint.
Your communication, attention to detail, and having this whole trip planned was perfect.
Your choices of North Cariboo for the charter and Frontiers North Adventures for the polar bear tour were excellent.
Our friends and family are envious of the trip we had, and make sure, your company will be highly recommended.

Thanks again for the great experience.

Had an incredible polar bear trip - actually this is my second time up to Churchill from Edmonton. Always well organized and just exceptional service, the onboard naturalists are very informative. This is one tour you don't want to miss!

Can’t say enough about the Polar Bear Safari on October 25. Everything was first class from boarding the private plane in the early morning to returning that night. We saw 8 polar bears—3 sparred for more than an hour; red fox; many arctic birds and ducks. Brian Keating, naturist and Marcus tundra buggy driver regaled us with information and insights. Their knowledge is impressive. Logistical arrangements, food and camaraderie amongst the guests was phenomenal.

We really wanted to enjoy this tour but sadly that wasn't the case. We did the polar bear tour in 2023 from Calgary. Flight delays both ways made for an exceptionally long day. On the way to Churchill, there were delays because there were issues with the fuel company - we were waiting on the plane for quite a long long time. On the way back, there was a delay. We saw two polar bears from a great distance, no other wildlife, maybe some birds that looks like sparrows. The naturalist on our bus was not engaging at all - we learned nothing from the naturalist. The only time we heard him speak was when he kindly asked some people not to bring food on the outdoor viewing space. In fact, our driver did all the talking (the reason I give two stars is because the driver was in fact, exceptional). The food was mediocre at best - a sandwich, cookie and soup. It was definitely not worth the money we paid for the trip. Maybe try the Calgary zoo if you want to see polar bears. Would not recommend 🙁

These tours are incredible. I recommend
them to everyone I know. They provide a unique and immersive experience. The guides and naturalists are all very knowledgeable and engaging. It is truly a unique experience that will leave you with lifelong memories.

Thank you so much for all of your hospitality and sharing your love and knowledge of not only the bears, but all creatures and the entire ecosystem they live in.

Bryan and I had an amazing time on our Polar Bear Safari with Classic Canadian Tours Nov. 2/18. We saw 13 Bears, all of which were magnificent to look at. Bill, the owner had everything organized perfectly for us. The guest Naturalists, Brian, Laura and Les were all fantastic. Our Tundra Buggy driver was a great guide with all kinds of good information.
On a final note, there was not one thing that we weren't happy with on this tour. Right from the hotel choice (Marriott Courtyard Airport) and booking, the shuttle rides to and from airport, the flights themselves, the bus pick up and drop offs in Churchill, everything was as you would hope it to be.
Thanks again to all of you for an amazing day in the Canadian North with our Polar Bears. Donna and Bryan Nelson

We did the day trip to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears with Classic Canadian Tours onboard the tundra buggy bus.

It cost us $2000 per person for the day and turned out to be the biggest waste of money ever and a total disaster.

We saw only 3 bears a great distance away and all were sleeping despite the driver incessantly honking the horn at them.

They put us all on a cramped bus with mainland Chinese tourists and their annoying cameras. The food was awful.

The bears had large radio collars around their neck and none of them woke up for pictures despite the driver shouting and honking the horn at them.
