Churchill, Manitoba is renowned as the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’ and each autumn bears gather along the water’s edge waiting for the sea ice to form. On this tour you will spend two full days on the tundra tracking and observing the majestic polar bear.
Prepare to be wowed! You’ll spend two full days on the tundra tracking and observing the majestic polar bear. Each day you’ll explore more of the Hudson Bay coastline. Along the way, your drive/guide will help you look for arctic fox, arctic hare, camouflaged ptarmigan and, if you are lucky, the snowy owl and gyrafalcon.

The Lazy Bear Lodge operates several tundra vehicles which drive into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area. Sometimes curiosity gets the best of the polar bears and they will come right alongside the vehicles to sneak a peek at their visitors. Although as many as 40 people can be accommodated in the vehicles most group sizes are limited to 25 guests for comfort and convenience.

During your stay the Lodge, the Cultural and Heritage Tour will take you to historic Cape Merry, the Polar Bear Jail and several sites and short hikes along the coastline. Dog sled tours and helicopters tours of the nearby Hudson Bay and Cape Churchill areas are also available at an additional cost
