Toronto - Winnipeg - Churchill - Polar Bear Tours Safari
Prepare for a truly unforgettable Arctic journey. This once-in-a-lifetime Polar Bear Safari takes you deep into the pristine wilderness of Churchill, on the edge of the legendary Hudson Bay — one of the best places on Earth to see polar bears in their natural habitat.
Spend two full days exploring the tundra in specially designed Arctic Crawler™ vehicles, travelling through the Wildlife Management Area along the rugged coastline. Witness majestic polar bears up close as they gather, waiting for the winter ice to form. Curious and unafraid, these incredible creatures often approach the vehicles for a closer look.
Along the way, you may also spot Arctic foxes, Arctic hares and ptarmigans in their natural environment.
Your experience also includes a cultural insight into life in the Arctic with a guided tour of historic Churchill, along with a thrilling dog mushing adventure — an iconic northern tradition.
After each day of exploration, unwind at the cosy Lazy Bear Lodge, complete with wood-fire warmth, comfortable rooms and delicious local cuisine.
