Manitoba / Winnipeg / Churchill
Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Winnipeg
Take a taxi from Winnipeg Airport and check in to the Lakeview Signature Airport Hotel. In the evening, meet your guide for a brief orientation. Overnight in Winnipeg.
Day 2 Winnipeg to Churchill, free time
This morning, depart from Winnipeg on an early chartered flight to the remote community of Churchill, Manitoba.
Upon arrival into Churchill, enjoy a town and area tour including visits and admissions to the Parks Canada Visitor Centre and the Itsanitaq Museum.
There is ample time to discover Churchill by exploring unique shops, family-run restaurants and a cultural museum that portrays the historical importance of the area. During your free time, consider an optional helicopter tour.
Overnight in Churchill. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
Day 3 Dog Sledding and Tundra Buggy Lodge
Enjoy a dogsledding excursion and interpretative programme in the morning. A dog mushing experience takes you on a 1.6 km sled ride behind a team of dogs – on snow, or by wheeled cart if the ground is bare. Since the dogs love to run, either ride will be exhilarating. You will be treated to local stories and learn how the dogs are trained.
Late afternoon transfer to the Tundra Buggy launch site where you will make your way into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area.
Once you arrive at the Tundra Buggy Lodge located at Polar Bear Point about 35km east of Churchill, you will be greeted by the lodge staff and given a brief orientation of the accommodation.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
Day 4 Tundra Buggy Adventure
After breakfast, enjoy a full-day Tundra Buggy Adventure in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, home of polar bears, arctic foxes, ptarmigan and other unique arctic wildlife.
Wear comfortable, layered clothing. Each Tundra Buggy is heated and equipped with washroom facilities and an external viewing platform.
Evenings are spent dining on delicious home-cooked meals, and enjoying presentations by Polar Bears International. If weather and conditions are right, you may have an opportunity to view the Northern Lights.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
Day 5 Tundra Buggy Adventure, Return to Winnipeg
Your final day in Churchill is spent enjoying another day aboard the Tundra Buggy exploring the Churchill Wildlife Management Area.
After the tour, you will be transferred to the Churchill airport for the flight back to Winnipeg and transferred to the hotel for check in.
