Re The Polar Bear experience, I went with Lazy Bear Expeditions which was a cheaper option, got to kayak among Beluga whales and we saw 6-7 polar bears during the trip, AND even got to see the Northern Lights on the last night. I recommend doing it in Aug, just so you have a chance to experience all 3.
