February – mid March
Aurora season
Our guides provide wildlife safety while chasing the auroras at different locations each night. We are out for 1.5 to 3 hours and can hike in the boreal forest while looking for northern lights (conditions permitting). Hot chocolate and a snack are included.
During the day we take you out for up to 3 hours to show you Churchill and its surroundings: the town tour and history (museum, murals and art, the trading post), the wrecks of Churchill – Miss Piggy and the Ithaca – and scenic wildlife and landscape days on the tundra.
Look for ptarmigan, arctic fox, arctic hare, red and cross foxes, moose, caribou and snowy owls – with rarer wolverines, wolves and weasels – amid rime frost, a snow-covered coastline and stunning sunrises, sunsets and moonlight over the bay.
Night and day tours are flexible to your needs – if you need groceries or a ride somewhere specific, we're happy to help. Transfers from and to the airport or train station are included.
