Churchill Tundra Lodge Adventure

Fly to the remote community of Churchill where you will be transferred to the Tundra Lodge by Polar Rover. As you leave town watch out for wildlife against the vast Arctic landscape; you may catch your first glimpse of polar bear. On arrival at the lodge enjoy an informative presentation about polar bears before dinner – make sure you always keep your camera handy as polar bears may pass right by the windows.

The Tundra Lodge is strategically positioned at the beginning of each season in the best area for bear viewing. Inquisitive bears often approach the lodge, which features rows of windows and safe outdoor observation decks to accommodate our own curiosity. The unique location of the Tundra Lodge, combined with excursions in Polar Rovers (special all-terrain tundra vehicles) ensures the best possible wildlife encounters. The small spit of land where the lodge is located often attracts the highest concentration of bears in the entire area. During your stay at the lodge you will take half-day excursions in the Polar Rover to search for bears, and spend time at the lodge as the bears come to you. In addition to polar bears, you may also spot caribou, Arctic fox, Arctic hare, snowy owl and ptarmigan. At the end of each day discuss the day’s events over dinner at the lodge, listen to talks about the Arctic and the region’s wildlife, and, conditions permitting, perhaps enjoy the spectacular aurora borealis streaking across the night sky.
