 
Ultimate Churchill
A total immersion into the world of the polar bear and the Northland!
Trip Overview
- View polar bears in their natural habitat outside of Churchill, Manitoba
- Experience the vast frozen wilderness by tundra vehicle, helicopter and dog sled
- Meet the native peoples of Hudson Bay and experience their age-old traditions
 This polar bear expedition offers a total immersion into the world of the polar bear and the Canadian Far North. Our warm, self-contained tundra vehicles take us into the icy wild to view polar bears as they hunt, play and interact, entertaining us just feet away from our windows. But our adventure travel tour doesn’t end there: We’ll also helicopter to the bears’ denning area and experience the northern boreal wilderness by dog sled. When night falls, watch for the swirling colors of the aurora borealis, as vivid here as any place on earth. “Ultimate Churchill” is the ultimate north.
