 
Churchill: An Arctic Summer
The most accessible spot for close encounters with arctic wildlife, including thousands of belugas... plus polar bears, caribou, birdlife and more!
Trip Overview
- Get amazingly close to beluga whales from our Zodiac boats on the Churchill River
- Look for caribou, arctic fox, snowy owls and polar bears near the shores of Hudson Bay
- Journey by sleeper train from prairie to tundra on the Hudson Bay Railway
Few of nature’s marvels match the intense aliveness of an arctic summer. In a region frozen, still and dark for much of the year, the Far North awakens with a burst of energy during these long days when the tundra turns green, caribou come forth in great herds, and the sea welcomes thousands of beluga whales back for their summer feasting. With the remote outpost of Churchill as our base on the edge of Hudson Bay, this adventure travel cruise takes us to the heart of the excitement, surrounded by a flurry of natural wonders that only a arctic summer can provide.
