Physical Requirements
Easy
A Churchill wildlife expedition with Natural Habitat Adventures requires very little walking. Travelers must be able to walk up/down stairs. Our Polar Rover vehicles, designed to travel over the tundra for the purpose of polar bear observation, can sometimes offer a bumpy ride. Travelers must be prepared for temperatures that may be well below freezing, and slippery surfaces.

Important Information About This Trip
Searching for polar bears is a special component of this trip, but given that this departure runs late in the season, we are less assured of seeing them than might be the case earlier in the fall. Polar bears typically inhabit the Churchill area year-round. The highest concentration occurs in October and November as the bears gather to await freeze-up on Hudson Bay and the beginning of their winter hunting season. However, since weather always dictates their movements, and patterns are becoming somewhat less reliable with climate change, we can never predict exactly where the polar bears will be at any given time. Sometimes the best bear viewing happens at the beginning of the season, sometimes it occurs in the middle, and sometimes it's at the end—we never know for sure. Once Hudson Bay freezes, many of the bears depart for the pack ice. Historically, this has happened in early December, but an unusually early cold spell can sometimes occur, hastening their departure.
Mandatory Insurance
Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have medical evacuation insurance for this program. If you decline the medical evacuation insurance coverage offered by Natural Habitat Adventures (NHA), we require that you send us documentation of the independent coverage you have selected. We recommend that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage. Please note that we will add the cost of NHA's medical evacuation policy (currently $48 per person) to your tour invoice until you provide our office with proof of coverage including your insurance company's name, phone number and your individual policy number. Thank you for understanding that our policy exists exclusively in the interest of our guests' safety.
To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-543-8917.
