Trip Overview

Visit Churchill, Manitoba—the Polar Bear Capital of the World—with Dr. Stephen Petersen, Director of Conservation and Research at Assiniboine Park Zoo and experience the excitement of polar bear viewing from an official Tundra Buggy! On this one-day adventure you will journey into the heart of polar bear country in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area (CWMA), home to the largest concentration of polar bears in the region.

Flying out of Winnipeg, your adventure begins with a private charter flight to Churchill. After the 2.5 hour journey you will explore the CWMA with Dr. Petersen, who will share insights on the importance of polar bear research and conservation and how it relates to climate change. You will spend the day exploring the trail network in the CWMA, where polar bears and other subarctic wildlife roam free. After a full day of wildlife viewing, you will board your return flight for Winnipeg having had an amazing northern adventure. Partial proceeds from this tour will go toward Assiniboine Park Conservancy in support of its polar bear research and conservation efforts.

The Experience

This whirlwind adventures takes you from Winnipeg right into the center of the action, the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, for a full-day Tundra Buggy experience.

Day 1

Day 01

One Day Adventure

We begin our adventure with a private charter flight to Churchill. The short journey will take us over the changing landscapes of Manitoba, from prairie fields, to boreal forests, over the tree-sparse taiga and finally into the vast, flat landscape of Churchill’s tundra. Landing in Churchill in the late morning, we will be transferred directly to the Tundra Buggy Dock where our journey into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area begins.

Led by a professional and knowledgeable Tundra Buggy Driver, our day will be spent exploring the trail network in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, where we will have the chance to see polar bears in their natural habitat as well as other incredible subarctic wildlife such as arctic fox, arctic hare, ptarmigan and snowy owls. At midday we will enjoy a picnic-style lunch right on the Tundra Buggy as we enjoy the landscape and wildlife around us. 

In the late afternoon our Tundra Buggy Driver will turn back to the dock area for our trip home. The group will be transferred to the airport for the flight home to Winnipeg (light meal is provided during flight).
