Wildlife

The best places in the Russian Arctic for wildlife viewing are, without doubt, Chukotka and the Taymyr Peninsula. Chukotka is actually the very best. On our Chukotka wildlife tour, you’ll have the chance to see a colony of up to 35,000 walrus, dozens of polar bears, hundreds of whales, nomads with thousands of reindeer, a colony of a million birds, plus brown bears, Arctic foxes, Arctic hares, wolverines and more. The Taymyr Peninsula

tour is very similar, although you are less likely to see brown bears and whales. However, you are more likely to see muskox on the Taymyr Peninsula than in Chukotka.

Below are all our tours that include an element of wildlife viewing. We have include the tours to nomadic reindeer herders too, as on these you are guaranteed to see a large herd of reindeer.
