"I want to thank Tim and his staff for the great care they provided for us while we were in Kaktovik to view polar bears. While we were out on the bay viewing bears we missed dinner and Tim made sure dinner was saved for us once we returned. His staff was always helpful, courteous and sincere in their efforts to make our stay enjoyable. Our once in a lifetime adventure was enhanced by their care."

"Amazing, super helpful staff. Everyone was friendly. Staff made sure our dietary needs we’re met. They made us aware of gluten free options they offer. We even got GF brownies.
Everyone was flexible when our flight was delayed. They helped us with directions and connections in the village."
