Join us for a truly exclusive expedition into the Canadian Arctic to witness Polar Bears. An all-inclusive secret cabin will be our home as we photograph Polar Bears in this unique setting. Limited to a small, exclusive group of only 6 guests, to ensure an intimate setting for each participant. Secure your place today for an unforgettable venture into the remote Canadian Arctic.
Our journey will begin in Churchill, Canada where we will enjoy a welcome meal with Martin and our group. From there we will travel north via Zodiacs to our remote cabin. Here we will settle in to our home away from home before Martin shares tales of living with Polar Bears made famous from his documentary "33 Days Among The Bears".
This 7-day arctic adventure aims to show you the often-misunderstood beauty of the Polar Bear as they playfully play together in the summer Fireweed. Open your eyes to a new world, using photography as a creative medium we will gain a deeper understanding of our relationship with the mighty Polar Bear.
Throughout this trip, participants will be given the opportunity to delve into the fundamentals of nature and wildlife photography and photo editing with Martin Gregus. The trip will also host a variety of masterclasses and talks delivered by Martin and your Expedition Leader. This expedition promises a truly unique and once in a lifetime adventure with a true master of his craft.
Born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia, Martin Gregus is an internationally awarded wildlife photographer and cinematographer. Martin’s passion for travel and photography started when he was just 8 years old, having grown up in a household full of artists. He learned everything from his father—also a photographer—before venturing out to document the local wildlife for himself. Martin first traveled around the world through the hundreds of National Geographic magazines found in his home. Now after almost 19 years, he has journeyed to all 7 continents, visiting dozens of countries and some of the planet's most unique ecosystems. His images have received numerous awards, including 2 wins and 2nominations at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in London, UK.
Currently based in Canada, Martin has worked extensively throughout the Americas, as well as the South Pacific. However, it was his thorough knowledge and experience of the Arctic and Antarctica that earned him world recognition. Among various projects, his work with polar bears—in particular, his expedition 33 Days Among the Bears—has become an international sensation following its coverage in National Geographic magazine in 2022.Since then, Martin has continued his exploration of the polar regions, working on several cinematic projects for Disney, BBC and Netflix

“Thanking the stars I found Airguides and Jono Allen's trip. We were totally taken care of! Paul answered all our questions and took care of the details so all we had to do was get there. Jono is an amazing, talented photographer who created a special group experience. The WHALES were mind blowing. What a gift to be in Tonga staring into the eye of a baby whale! This trip was a lifelong dream come true. I highly recommend it so much we’ve already signed up again for next year!"
