During this 7-day adventure, a group of experienced guides will take you to the most beautiful places around Churchill, Manitoba, with an opportunity to see polar bears, beluga whales, arctic hares, arctic foxes, and other wild animals.
The boat captain will take you into Hudson Bay in the one-of-the-kind wildlife viewing vessel called 'Matonabee.' It will provide multiple opportunities for seeing beluga whales and polar bears. On this thrilling day trip, we'll explore one of the most remote polar bear-watching areas in the west part of Hudson Bay. Since many polar bears reside there during the summer, you'll have a unique opportunity to catch them in their 'summer residence.' During the warm season, polar bears usually swim, explore wildflowers and rocks, or sunbathe on the shore.
Warm, shallow water along the coast is also a place for beluga whales to come to feed, mate and give birth. This boat tour will be focused on seeing the beautiful animals in their natural habitat. We'll get as close to animals as possible without disrupting their daily habits. At first, we will travel down the Churchill River leading into Hudson Bay, where they feed on arctic char, caplin, and brook trout. We'll also jump out of the boat to take a walking tour to the historic Prince of Wales fort. Aqua gliding and kayaking are available as an extra.
Next, a Tundra tour on the Arctic Crawler™ awaits us. Summer is a perfect time to admire the beautiful landscape to the fullest. The tour will be organized in a custom-made vehicle, allowing you to admire the wildlife from a safe distance. In the evenings, we'll watch the weather forecast to see if there's a chance to see the magnificent Northern Lights.
The Cultural and Heritage tour will take us to the most recognized places in Churchill and the surrounding area. We'll visit Cape Merry, have an outside tour of the Polar Bear Holding Facility, and see the famous plane wreckage "Miss Piggy."
