Introduction

This two-centre tour allows time to explore Winnipeg as well as providing two full days out on the tundra surrounding Churchill. Venture into the wilderness in the comfort and safety of a specially-designed tundra vehicle which can go anywhere. It's heated and has an outdoor rear viewing platform. The bears aren't at all bothered by such a powerful all-terrain vehicle and will often stand on their hind legs to peer inside the windows. Often they simply ignore the vehicle and play-fight with one another nearby. The photographic opportunities are outstanding.

Weather permitting, we recommend the optional helicopter tour over Churchill (approximately £180 per person - booked locally) - awesome!

Stay in Winnipeg at the grand and elegant Fort Garry built in 1913. This landmark hotel is one of Winnipeg’s finest with facilities to match, and the breakfasts are legendary. We also stay at the Churchill Motel which serves hearty home-cooked breakfasts and the warm, comfortable beds are particularly welcoming after a day out on the tundra.
