Day 3 Arctic Tundra Bear Watching

After breakfast, board the custom-built Arctic Crawler tundra vehicle, taking you into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area.
You will head to the tundra where the bears wait for the winter icepack to freeze on the Hudson Bay. Curious and far from shy, the bears will sometimes come right alongside the vehicles to sneak a peek at their visitors.
Breakfast, lunch (snacks and beverages aboard the Arctic Crawler) included.

Day 4 Arctic Tundra Bear Watching and Dog Mushing

After breakfast, board the custom-built Arctic Crawler tundra vehicle again, taking you for another unforgettable day in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area.
In the evening, 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.
Breakfast, lunch (snacks, and beverages aboard the Crawler) included.
