The mighty polar bear is one of the world’s best-loved, but least-seen animals in the wild. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity takes us to the far northern reaches of Manitoba to witness first hand the behaviour of these mighty beasts as they migrate to their key hunting grounds. Each year in the autumn, the bears congregate along the western shore of Hudson Bay waiting for the moment when the bay re-freezes enough to support their weight so they can start their great seal hunt on the sea ice. Our adventure offers a rare glimpse of this truly awesome spectacle.

Your Itinerary

DAY 1 UK/Winnipeg

We fly to Winnipeg, meet our local representative and transfer to our hotel for the start of our adventure.

DAY 2 Churchill

We have a free morning to explore Winnipeg. Although the largest city in central Canada, it is easy to explore on foot and all the major attractions are within walking distance of each other. Perhaps visit the Manitoba Museum of Man & Nature to learn the history of the province; or take a stroll around the Art Gallery, which is home to the world’s largest collection of Inuit art. At midday we transfer to the airport for our flight to the far north of the province of Manitoba and the remote settlement of Churchill, set on the southern shore of Hudson Bay.

Known as the ‘polar bear capital of the world’, we spend three nights here with a welcome dinner included this evening. During our stay we may be lucky enough to witness the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. This swirling curtain of blues, greens and whites can be seen in the skies usually between September and April.

DAY 3 Polar Bear Migration

We head out for a thrilling full day on the tundra in specially designed vehicles – heated for comfort, on high tyres for safety and with large windows for unobstructed views. Anticipation will be high and our first sight of these magnificent animals in the frozen wilderness will be a truly invigorating experience. Lunch is included today.

DAY 4 Churchill

This morning we have included a tour of the town and surrounding area, followed by a free afternoon to explore at leisure. See the animal hide canoes, arctic animals and carved soapstone figurines at the Eskimo Museum; and learn the history of the fur trade and the Hudson Bay Company at the Parks Canada Centre.

DAY 5 Polar Bear Migration

We have a second opportunity to witness the wonderful natural phenomena of the polar bear migration in our tundra buggy with lunch included. After our farewell dinner this evening we fly back to Winnipeg for an overnight stay.

DAY 6 Toronto/UK

After breakfast we leave Winnipeg for the flight to Toronto and on to the UK.

DAY 7 UK

Arrive in the UK. 

Please note: Due to the specialist nature of this itinerary, this tour will be operated in conjunction with our sister company, Travelsphere.
