Comment from Oceanwide Expeditions
Thank you for your feedback and concern about polar bears! We want to assure you that in over 30 years of operating in the Arctic, there has never been an incident where a polar bear was harmed. At Oceanwide, the safety of both our guests and the wildlife is our top priority.
We take every precaution to ensure that no landings occur if a polar bear is spotted nearby or if the weather conditions don't allow clear visibility. Our expert guides are trained to observe the environment carefully and avoid any risk to the animals.
We deeply respect and love polar bears, and we would never voluntarily put them in harm’s way. Our goal is always to protect the wildlife and natural environment we cherish. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we appreciate your support in helping us preserve these magnificent creatures!
