Tundra Lodge Adventure

Day 1. Depart London [D]

Depart London for Winnipeg, flying via Toronto. On arrival you will be met and transferred to the Hotel Fort Garry for a 1-night stay.

Day 2. Tundra Lodge, Churchill [B, L, D]

This morning you fly to Churchill and transfer in the afternoon by tundra vehicle to the Tundra Lodge, where you spend the next four nights, by tundra vehicle. Spend the afternoon getting acclimatised and touring this remote sub-arctic outpost. In the evening, enjoy a slide presentation on Polar Bears and the northern environs.

Tundra Lodge is a remarkable mobile hotel that is placed in an area of high bear density at the beginning of the Polar Bear season. It has 32 rooms (although the group sizes are limited to a maximum of 25), and each room is a single compartment. There are shared shower and toilet facilities as well as a lounge and dining area, from where you can observe bear activity while relaxing in Tundra Lodge's modest surroundings.

Days 3 to 5. Bear-viewing from Tundra Lodge [B, L, D]

During your time spent on the tundra, you will have unparalleled opportunities for Polar Bear-viewing. Inquisitive bears often approach the lodge which is equipped with rows of windows and fenced observation decks to accommodate your own curiosity. Your unique location, combined with the opportunity for half-day excursions around the tundra in your on-site tundra vehicle affords some of the best possible wildlife experiences in the Churchill area.

You may see young adult males play-fighting and solitary adult males lumbering across the tundra. The interaction between Polar Bears at this time of year is fascinating and your guide will ensure that you see and learn as much as possible. At the end of a day of exploration, you retire to your warm, comfortable accommodation for dinner and presentations. If you are lucky, the Northern Lights may grace you with their eerie presence in the night-time skies, and the glowing eyes of Arctic Foxes, bears, and other wildlife may be visible in the light the lodge casts across the frozen ground.

Fly back to Winnipeg after some free time to pick up some last-minute souvenirs, where you transfer to the Hotel Fort Garry for your final night.
