The ultimate Arctic adventure. A guided spring polar bear hunt out of Pond Inlet on the northern tip of Baffin Island — some of the finest polar bear country in the world. You travel the frozen sea ice of Eclipse Sound by traditional Inuit dog sled (komatik) and snowmobile, guided by local Inuit hunters who have pursued bears on the ice for generations. Spring brings extended daylight, staggering Arctic scenery, and prime conditions for locating mature boars on the pack ice. A physically demanding, deeply rewarding 10–14 day hunt (weather dependent) that pairs ancient tradition with modern logistics. Limited to 1–2 hunters per trip — spots fill quickly. Conducted legally under Canadian wildlife regulations and Nunavut Inuit land claim agreements; tags allocated through the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board. A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your booking.

Great hunt
From the first phone call to the flight home, these folks were dialed in. The Polar Bear country in Pond Inlet is everything they said it would be. Professional guides, honest advice, and a hunt I'll be telling stories about for years.
Booked my Polar Bear hunt through Dispatch and it was flawless start to finish. The advisor was honest about the terrain and fitness in Pond Inlet, and everything they promised showed up exactly as described. My guide knew the country cold. Can't recommend it enough.
Second hunt with Dispatch and the Polar Bear trip did not disappoint. Pond Inlet is no joke — physically demanding — but the camp, the food and the guiding were all first class. Tagged out on a great animal and made memories that'll last forever.
