“Don't hesitate to book this tour - do it before it sells out! Truly the trip of a lifetime. Gold Star has put together a fabulous day out on the tundra from start to finish. Absolutely first class. I have a ton of photos but can't wait to see the professional photographers' shots - a very nice bonus to have access to them as well.”

“Me and my family had the most amazing experience on the 2025 Polar Bear expedition. We got hundreds of amazing up close photos and thousands of photos from their professional photographer free of charge. The travel process was simple and they also payed extra attention to children by giving them gift bags with accessories such as binoculars, jelly beans and a sketchbook for the flight. Overall this was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on and I would recommend it to everyone.”

I absolutely loved getting the emails leading up to the trip, giving a glimpse of what to expect and I must say, the trip blew my expectations out of the water. So many polar bears! A great full day of exploring! Thanks so much to the team!”

“What an amazing day. Seeing the polar bears in the wild was incredible, especially the sparring matches. The scientist and the buggy drivers were super knowledgeable. The food was also delicious, the prime rib at the banquet was amazing and they also had so many options for my partner who is vegetarian. This tour was incredibly well organized, the team was very professional. We couldn't have asked for a better day. I would highly recommend this tour.”

“What an absolutely beautiful experience. The daily excursion taken in November 2025 was so well executed, the Polar bears were visible at a distance and close up, the food was excellent, the staff genuinely kind and interesting, knowledgeable folks. It was one of the best days of my life. Highly recommend this Company and the Churchill Polar Bear trip. I’ll book more trips with this Company. Thanks for a great memorable day. “

“Fantastic, Josh is incredibly well organized and puts on spectacular one day expeditions. Seeing polar bears in their natural habitat was a big bucket list adventure for me, and Gold Star Canadian Tours made it absolutely seamless.”

Cate Collins

“We were on the one day polar bear tour on October 25/25 out of Edmonton. This tour was worth every penny! We were provided with three quality meals, a Naturalist who provided polar bear information on the flight, two professional photographers who took photos throughout the day so passengers could sit back and enjoy the trip if choosing not to take their own photos. All passengers have since received these photographers photos free of charge! The buggy drivers are amazing and are so knowledgeable about the bears we saw. It was a good bear day…..saw eleven in total! This was the trip of a lifetime! Thanks Gold Star!”

Judy Neelands

“What a great experience the 1 day polar bear trip from Calgary was. Can highly recommend Gold Star Canadian Tours. Brilliant communication before and during the trip and we saw lots of polar bears! It really was a fully inclusive trip - nothing else to pay on the day unless you wanted to purchase a souvenir. Gold Star team very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate to book if you are thinking about it!”
