Overview

This Churchill hotel-based adventure allows you to experience the excitement of polar bear viewing on an official Tundra Buggy, as well as enjoy the eclectic charm of this unique northern town.

The Churchill Town and Tundra Enthusiast includes full-day Tundra Buggy excursions in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area (CWMA), where polar bears await the freezing of the Hudson Bay. Guests will spend plenty of time watching these majestic mammals, and other Arctic wildlife, in their natural environment.

There is ample time to discover Churchill's personality by exploring unique shops, family-run restaurants boasting delicious regional cuisine, and cultural museums that portray the historical importance of the area.

This is our most well-rounded level of departure, with a mixture of cultural and wildlife adventures. This level of tour is led by a professional Interpretive Guide and offers guests the ability to focus on their adventures - we'll take care of the little details.
