Selecting Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours

By Paulette Mason


When planning your vacation some of your most important decisions will be where to go and what you will be doing while there. More people are choosing to head for the far northern parts of the world to satisfy their wander lust. With Churchill Manitoba polar bear tours you will find a cure for the need to explore wild lands and get up close and personal with native wild life.

With the largest population of bears in the world in this area it is easy to see why it is considered the polar bear capital of the world. Tour promoters and guides will guarantee that you will see and be able to photograph numerous bears during your stay. The lodges are located in the midst of the bears range and near the coast where they feed and hunt.

You can choose to purchase a tour from a lodge that allows you to purchase your own air fare and lodgings prior to your arrival or choose one of the lodges that supply the entire package of travel, lodging and tour arrangements for their clients. Which ever package you select you will be assured of excursions onto the tundra and close encounters with bears. There are vehicles called tundra rovers that transport guests to the best viewing areas for bears.

Some larger transports have been remodeled to accommodate only fifteen people in an effort to enhance the experience for their guests. The extra room provided gives the passengers extra room for taking pictures and watching an unobstructed view of the bears in the wild. Lunch and drinks are provided by the lodge and the trips cover an entire day returning shortly before sunset.

Walking excursions are available with trained guides after the transporter arrives at the viewing sight. Visitors are led to areas where they can observe the bears without intruding on their behavior. This area is basically tundra so walking is not difficult for most although it can be muddy or slick in the tidal areas where it will be wet.

There is a super sized vehicle called the mobile hotel offered by one touring company. This vehicle can sleep up to thirty in single rooms and provides all of the comforts you expect in lodge accommodations. Showers, ample seating, windows that slide open and an outside deck encased in steel grating that allows clients to get as close as eleven inches from the bears. They also provide a world class chef for their guests meals.

You will find that the tour guides in this area are highly trained and skilled in their trade. They have many years of experience taking their clients to the very best locations to view the bears. Their employers provide them with yearly training and seminars to assure their skills are finely honed and the clients are kept safe while encountering any bears. During the seminars they have opportunity to share with other guides what they have observed or learned over the past year.

The only way into this area is by air. This allows for a secluded vacation without the usual crowds seen in most tourist areas. Combining the seclusion with the up close and personal encounters with these great white bears may provide you with the most exciting time of your life.
