The Official Tundra Buggy®

From the original to the electric, we didn’t just build the first tundra vehicle—we are still setting the standard

First developed in 1979, the Tundra Buggy was the original tundra vehicle designed to explore the Churchill Wildlife Management Area—home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of wild polar bears.

Today, Tundra Buggies remain the original and most advanced vehicles on the tundra. With the introduction of our cutting-edge Electric Vehicle (EV) Tundra Buggies, guests now enjoy innovative, silent, zero-emission propulsion wildlife viewing experiences that leave a lighter footprint on this fragile ecosystem."

We are one of only two operators with exclusive permit access to the entire Churchill Wildlife Management Area (CWMA), offering unparalleled opportunities for wildlife viewing. Frontiers North has access to polar bear hotspots in the CWMA such as Gordon Point, Polar Bear Point, and 4 km of coastal trails that polar bears are known to frequent as they await the return of the sea ice. During October and November, guests can enjoy full eight-hour days exploring the tundra aboard a Tundra Buggy, searching for wild polar bears and other subarctic wildlife in their natural habitat.

In the summer months, the tundra bursts to life with blooming flora and the return of migratory wildlife. A Tundra Buggy adventure is the best way to take in the scenic landscape while searching for wildlife such as caribou, polar bears, arctic foxes, and the hundreds of bird species that return each year.

Spend six hours on the tundra with expert interpretation from experienced staff, learning about the diverse flora and fauna that call the Churchill Wildlife Management Area home.
