Discover one of Canada’s most extraordinary wilderness destinations with a Churchill adventure in Manitoba. Located on the shores of Hudson Bay, Churchill is famous as the polar bear capital of the world and offers some of Canada’s most unforgettable wildlife experiences.
At North America Travel Service, we work with Frontiers North Adventures, an experienced local operator specialising in responsible wildlife adventures in the Churchill region. Their expert guides offer carefully designed experiences that bring you closer to the incredible wildlife and landscapes of Canada’s Arctic.
Meet the Polar Bears
For many travellers, seeing polar bears in Churchill is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Each autumn, polar bears gather around Hudson Bay as they wait for the sea ice to form. October and November are particularly popular times to visit, when the bears are preparing to return to their seal-hunting grounds.
Travel into the tundra with experienced Frontiers North guides and look out for these magnificent animals in their natural environment. Specially designed tundra vehicles allow you to explore the remote landscape while keeping a respectful distance from the wildlife.
A Churchill polar bear holiday offers much more than a wildlife sighting. You will also experience vast Arctic landscapes, remote wilderness and the unique atmosphere of this fascinating northern community.
Swim with Beluga Whales
During the summer, thousands of beluga whales gather in the waters around Churchill. This is the perfect time to experience these curious and sociable whales at close range.
Frontiers North offers unforgettable beluga whale adventures, including opportunities to get into the water and kayak or snorkel alongside these remarkable animals. Listen for their distinctive calls and watch as they move through the clear waters of Hudson Bay and the Churchill River.
It is a completely different way to experience Canada’s Arctic and one of the most memorable wildlife encounters you can enjoy in Manitoba.
See the Northern Lights
Churchill is also one of Canada’s most spectacular places to experience the Northern Lights. The town’s remote location and northern position create excellent opportunities to see the night sky illuminated by dancing colours.
Travel during the autumn and winter months and keep watch for the Aurora Borealis. On a clear night, the lights can appear above the vast Arctic landscape, creating a truly magical experience.
