    Highlights

    The Great Ice Bear Adventure

    A Churchill polar bear tour is without doubt the world’s ultimate polar bear-watching experience. Your adventure in Canada's Far North begins on the light aircraft flight to Churchill. From high above the remote hinterland you may well see polar bear, caribou, moose and wolf. Under the guidance of our team of specialist guides, you’ll trek the region's remote tundra and witness wild polar bears in their natural habitat. Climb aboard lumbering Tundra Buggies for a 'lunch with the bears' experience. After dinner each evening you may be lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights in the Arctic's clear skies.

    UK - Winnipeg

    Arrive in Winnipeg and spend the rest of the day relaxing at The Grand Hotel. In the evening, you'll meet your adventure specialists and get to know the rest of the group over a friendly welcome dinner. But head to bed early, ready for your morning flight to Churchill and the Arctic adventure which lies ahead.

    Winnipeg - Churchill

    The light aircraft flight up the rugged Hudson Bay Coast to Dymond Lake Lodge is an experience in itself. Keep your eyes peeled for caribou, moose, wolf and polar bear which can be seen roaming below. After a polar bear briefing, you’ll take a guided hike of the stark coastline. At night, climb the hotel's aurora-viewing tower, where if you're lucky, the elusive Northern Lights will make an appearance.

    Churchill, Tundra, Trekking and Polar Bears

    You’ll spend the next two days exploring Arctic Canada's remote tundra, looking for polar bears with our team of specialist bear guides. The treks are fairly gentle, focusing on good viewing and photo opportunities. It's back to the lodge for a relaxing lunch before the afternoon's activities. After dinner, there'll be various talks and slide shows, plus a briefing about the next day's schedule. On clear nights, you may also have a chance to view one of the spectacular aurora borealis displays.

    Churchill

    After a hearty breakfast, it's time to fly back to Churchill. You'll have some time to explore this frontier town, perhaps taking in Cape Merry, the Port of Churchill, the Eskimo Museum and Parks Canada exhibit, and checking out its restaurants. We can arrange dog sledding and helicopter flights if you so choose.

    Churchill - Winnipeg

    Navigate the tundra in tundra buggies for an exhilarating 'lunch with the bears'. You'll fly south to Winnipeg this evening for a final night at The Grand Hotel.

    Winnipeg - UK

    After breakfast, say goodbye and conclude your polar bear adventure or continue onto another exciting experience.
