Polar Bears, Beluga Whales & Birding Safari

CANADIAN POLAR BEAR & BIRDING SAFARI

If birds and polar bears are what you want to see, I recommend our Arctic summer safari - Bears n Birds - an 8 day trip from Winnipeg to the Hudson Bay in July and August. 

On this trip you will actually walk with polar bears - and live to tell the tale! You'll go beluga whale watching by zodiac or kayak and explore the area, looking for other Arctic wildlife, as well as a variety of migratory and shore birds.

Most of your time will be spent at a lodge near the Seal River Estuary, located 60km north of Churchill, Manitoba.  The fenced-in compound, viewing platforms and tower lend themselves to unique photography opportunities as wildlife approach to check out the sights, sounds and smells of the lodge.  Daily excursions are lead resident naturalist guides, who know the area like the back of their hand.

Sustainability is a both a driving principle and a necessity at the lodge, which was built using mostly local lumber and recycled materials. Solar power supplies most energy. Food waste is composted, and all non-recyclable trash is flown to Churchill to be disposed of properly.  Emphasis is on leaving a light footprint: instead of using enclosed tundra vehicles, guests walk with the wildlife on most outings at the lodge.
