6-Nights Churchill’s Belugas, Polar Bears & Arctic Wildlife

A Northern Summer Safari on Canada's Hudson Bay

Few of nature's marvels match the intense aliveness of an Arctic summer. In a region that's frozen, still and dark much of the year, the Canadian Northland awakens with a frenzy of energy during long days when the tundra turns green, wildflowers burst with color, animals come forth in great flocks and herds, and belugas return for their summer feasting. More than 3,000 of these amiable white whales congregate at the mouth of the Churchill River, and our motorized rafts and kayaks put us at eye level with them. On the surrounding tundra, look for terrestrial wildlife—we often spot caribou, Arctic fox, ptarmigan and roving polar bears, their creamy coats contrasting with the rocky shoreline and dark boreal forest. From the remote village of Churchill as our base on Hudson Bay, we are surrounded by the flurry of natural wonders a northern summer provides.

Churchill

The "Polar Bear Capital of the World," the town of Churchill transports visitors to an authentic experience within the tundra of Manitoba Canada. An ecotourists' dream, watch the polar bear migration across the ice of the Hudson Bay from the safety of a "tundra buggie." In the summer, witness the beluga whales who enjoy the warm waters of the Churchill River. Gaze in awe at the stunning aurora borealis, which comes to life during the winter nights in a spectacular show of colors, lights and true natural beauty.

Winnipeg

Winnipeg surprises. It's a large and cosmopolitan city rising from the vast plains of southern Manitoba, not the regional town some may expect. Winnipeg is home to the world-class Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Blue Bombers football team and many other treasures. Fine museums, good local transit and a stimulating, multicultural atmosphere contribute to the sophistication.

Settlers in Winnipeg have included indigenous aboriginal people, French- and English-speaking Canadians, Germans, Ukrainians, Chinese, Filipinos and others. This mix gives the town its international flavor, which manifests in a wonderful variety of markets, restaurants and cultural centers.

This sophistication is nicely balanced by the town's wide-open, Western feel, its proximity to the surrounding farmlands and by the fact that it's relatively small, as big cities go. Winnipeg is easy to get to know and yet complex enough for an interesting visit.
