This morning you’ll fly north to Churchill, where staff will meet you at the airport and will provide you with instructions of the morning transfers. Your adventure begins with a breath-taking aerial view of the winding Hudson Bay coast enroute to your home for the next 6 days – Seal River Heritage Lodge.
Be prepared to see huge pods of whales, countless birds, as well as caribou and of course, the magnificent polar bears. The Seal River Estuary is a summer favourite for these amazing creatures and they are regularly seen swimming or basking near the water’s edge. Upon your arrival, your hosts will provide a tour of the Lodge and get you settled into your room. A thorough orientation on travel in polar bear country will be provided prior to any outings. After a full-course lunch, you will experience the coast for the first time. The combination of diversity and sheer natural elegance will amaze you. Your first day at the Lodge will end with a full-course meals and a cozy fireplace. Relax, recharge and get a good rest because you have 5 amazing days to go!
After breakfast each morning, you’ll head out on one of many tours – either a marine tour to look for beluga whales in the frigid waters of the Hudson Bay, watching herds of caribou across the grasslands and spot polar bears from tundra treks in the beautiful Arctic summer. It’s a truly magical wildlife encounter that you can’t experience anywhere other than Churchill Wild.
Evenings will be spent eating delicious meals and watching educational evening presentations on Arctic ecosystems and landscapes.
After breakfast, you will depart on your flight back to Churchill. In Churchill, a representative will store your luggage. For the rest of the day, you can explore the shops and exhibits. In the evening, depart on your flight to Winnipeg. Upon arrival, collect your bags, head out of the arrivals doors and look to your right. The Grand Winnipeg Airport Hotel is located across the way only a two minute walk.
This morning, you’ll make your own way to the airport in time for your flight home.
