Location of Adventure
Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

Group Size Limit: Approximately 28 Travelers
A very important feature of our polar bear trips is the limited group size. Nature is always best experienced in smaller groups and it is particularly important on this trip so our guests have plenty of room on board the tundra vehicles to take rare polar bear photos. On this unique adventure travel trip our Tundra Lodge holds 32 guests plus staff but we limit the group to approximately 28 travelers. On our tundra drives we generally accommodate 14 guests which leaves plenty of room to move about the buggy and see polar bears.
