The prelude is a gentle hum of aircraft amidst the serene tundra backdrop. From the air, you see an abundance of belugas dotting the sea, conveying the magic of Churchill Wild. Below lies your otherworldly safari adventure, waiting.
The polar bears won’t remember you. You will never forget them, hiking at ground level through their remote territory for a heart-pounding close encounter. Arctic Canada has a spectacular landscape, from estuary to Boreal forest, bay to inland tundra.
Churchill Wild has three eco-lodges, presenting many angles from which to view polar bears, foxes, wolves, and over 100 species of birds. The thrall of exotic creatures delights all nature lovers. From July to November, professional photographers, interpreters, and bear guides lead your group into the Arctic tundra, skirting the edges of Hudson Bay. The owners are committed to sustainable tourism, and environmentally friendly practices are always employed. We all tread lightly here.
For a truly unforgettable encounter, hop in a Zodiac to witness the beluga migration in Hudson Bay and sing along with these canaries of the sea. And after the adrenaline recedes from your various breathtaking encounters, kick back by the fire and pour yourself a tipple. Enjoy locally sourced Arctic cuisine, prepared using traditional methods and family recipes. Gaze upon the Aurora Borealis, and commune with the spirit of the great white North.
