Your 8-day polar bear safari itinerary
Polar Bear Safari Adventures
October – November
8-Day Polar Bear Season Package
Day 1
Arrive in Winnipeg
Winnipeg, Manitoba is the ‘launch point’ to Churchill – approximately a 2.5 hour flight. Flights and weather in bear season can be highly variable, so we have secured a charter flight with Calm Air to be as close to ‘guaranteed’ departures as the north can get. Guests enjoy the first night at the Lakeview or Sandman Hotel near Winnipeg Airport.
Day 2
Fly to Churchill & first bear tour
We aim to book morning flights to Churchill each season so we can add another full day of polar bear viewing – however this is all dependent on weather… which you will see is a common theme. Check in to your accommodation and head straight out.
Days 3–7
Full-day polar bear tours
Each day we leave at sunrise and return at sunset. Polar bears are seen with a very high success rate and lately wolves, wolverines, caribou, foxes, seals and other species are becoming more common. Each group decides whether to take a field lunch and stay out all day or return to the B&B for a break.
Day 8
Town activities or a final bear tour
Explore town or squeeze in one more bear tour before departing for Winnipeg in the afternoon.
August
8-Day Summer Season Package
With unpredictable ice conditions, polar bears have changed their lives to adapt to the new normal. This has meant a dramatic increase in the number of polar bears summering near Churchill – and a new glimpse into their lives on shore.
From polar bears in fireweed to bears play-fighting in the cool waters of Hudson Bay, summer is unforgettable. Add thousands of beluga whales that summer in the Churchill River and swim beside, behind and under our boats, and you have the chance to be face to face with both polar bears and belugas.
Each day we run a land-based tour in 4×4 vehicles to find the best polar bear sightings. During your stay we also head out on two privately chartered zodiac tours to watch whales and bears, timed to tides and weather so we can tailor each excursion to the wildlife.
