Welcome to Polar Sea Adventures

Established in 1989, award-winning Arctic adventure company, Polar Sea Adventures, provides high quality adventure programs that promote environmental and cultural awareness and respect. Polar Sea is sensitive to the effects of travel on the areas we visit. We remain actively dedicated to the protection of the Arctic and strive to play a role in encouraging responsible and ethical development of this incredible, unique and important part of our planet.

Polar Sea adheres to the highest standards of minimum impact camping and travel activities. We carry a caring understanding of the fragile Arctic landscape and environment, the animals that live here and the enduring Inuit hunting culture. Through exclusive and exciting adventure trips and expeditions, Polar Sea makes a policy of employing local Inuit guides as much as possible - thus creating tangible and important benefits to the local economy and community. In recent years Polar Sea has expanded and now offers consulting, logistics and planning services. An increasing part of the companies business involves customised trips and special projects. Polar Sea is the only adventure company in Nunavut to specialize in film and television production work.

Since moving to the Canadian Arctic in 1989, Dave Reid (owner/guide of Polar Sea) has led, organised and participated in more than 260 Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, trips and projects. A member of The International Explorers Club, Dave lives in Pond Inlet and travels extensively in the off-season, promoting and marketing Polar Sea, Nunavut and Arctic Canada.

Polar Sea wouldn't exist without the clients from all over the world who have travelled with the company over the years. This website is gratefully dedicated to all of you.

We invite you to take a look at our Arctic world through the photographs contained on this website.
