Stories

The polar bears of Churchill.

In developing our safaris to Churchill, we wanted to provide some of the most unique polar bear viewing experiences in the world. Situated on the western shores of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, our eco-lodges offer you the rare opportunity to walk in the footsteps of polar bears. Unlike traditional bear-watching tours, where guests observe from elevated tundra vehicles, our safaris are led by professional guides on foot, ensuring safe and close encounters with these magnificent creatures.

These experiences are nothing short of transformative. During autumn, when polar bears gather along the coast, waiting for the bay to freeze over, guests have unparalleled access to view their natural behavior. From mothers with cubs to solitary males, the intimacy and raw beauty of these encounters will leave a lasting impression on all who join this journey.
