Led by professional guides, this classic adventure is the best way to view polar bears within the Churchill Wildlife Management Area and experience the culture and charm of the town of Churchill.

Imagine yourself experiencing the majestic Polar Bears right outside of your window, as well as other Arctic wildlife-from an authentic Tundra Buggy. Your two full-day exploration will take place in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, regulated by the province of Manitoba and ensuring the safest and best possible viewing.

Your tour of this untamed frontier land also includes a chance to learn about the culture and the natural and historical importance of the area by experiencing the museums and enjoying exploring the frontier town of Churchill.

The Tundra Buggy has space for 40 passengers, but carries only 22 to ensure that you have plenty of room and a window for wildlife watching and taking photographs.

And, while you are not in the Wildlife Area viewing the Polar Bears, feel the exhilaration of a dog-sled or dog-cart excursion as you “mush” with an experienced, northern dog team through the boreal forest outside of the town of Churchill (our six day itineraries only.)

Finally, you will have time to enjoy Churchill’s eclectic charm while exploring Churchill’s unique shops and family-run restaurants.

Accommodations for our Classic Polar Bear Adventures

Town of Churchill Hotels

Churchill is a small, northern community with a lot of character and warm hospitality. You won’t find big-chain hotels here. However, you will find our hotels in town to be clean and comfortable with all of the amenities. (You will find them comparable to a good motel in other locations across North America.)

A hotel-based tour is for those who would prefer a little more comfort, enjoy spending a little more time on your own and appreciate privacy in the evenings. Staying in town will allow you to walk to and from the different places of interest, shops and restaurants. Perhaps even meet some of the locals!

Our hotels include the Bear Country Inn, Polar Inn, Aurora Inn, Seaport Hotel and the Tundra Inn.

During the day, you will be transferred from town to the Tundra Buggy Launch where you will board a Buggy and begin your tundra adventure. The Tundra Buggy meanders over a system of trails, stopping at leisure to enjoy the scenery, search for wildlife and take photos. When daylight fades, we’ll head back to the Launch and our hotels.

Winnipeg Hotel

Our base hotel in Winnipeg is the Sheraton Four Points. It is located directly at the airport, so the convenience cannot be beat!

If you would prefer to spend additional time in Winnipeg, we recommend several downtown hotels including The Hotel Fort Garry and The Inn at the Forks. Please give us a call for more information.
