Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours Really Are Quite An Experience

By Ines Flores


For those that live in Canada or anywhere else in the world a true experience that everyone should try and embark upon exists. The adventure in question, is one you will have when embarking upon Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours. It is a way to see these magnificent animals up close and to learn more about them. All of these tours are led by experienced guides.

The land has shallow soil because of the subsurface soil and the rock formations. One of the few trees that manage to grow there are the Black Spruce which is slow growing and is evergreen. It grows to about fifteen metres and the trunk is about 50 centimetres in diameter when fully grown.

The amount with airfare will be $3 285.00 per person and this includes the round trip from Churchill and Winnipeg. Without the airfare included it will set one back $2 185.00. This package includes a four night stay at the Lazy Bear Lodge as well as two nights in Winnipeg. The Hudson Bay tour will last about six to eight hours where all the wildlife can be observed.

Constantine John Phipps who was born in 1744 and died in 1792 was an explorer in the Royal Navy. He was the first to describe these animals as a species and chose their name due to the habitat they lived in. They are found mainly in the Arctic Circle and adjacent lands as far as Newfoundland. This is a large island in Canada off the east coast of North America.

For those that prefer a quicker tour there is one with a two night stay over. This is specifically for those that cannot wait to go whale watching off the back of a boat. Watching these huge magnificent animals swimming alongside is sure to give anyone an awesome feeling. With airfare included it will only cost $1 499.00, it will be well worth it as this is not something everyone is able to witness in real life.

If one has to walk down the street they will notice that many if not all of the vehicles will be left unlocked. This is to ensure that if one of these bears happens to be in town the people will be able to find a place for a quick escape. These tend to be the adolescent ones who hang around close or in town. The local authorities will tranquilise them and release them once the bay has frozen over again.

All the rooms are the same with two double beds and they are very cosy and warm. The cafe is open to the public and anyone is welcome. They have sirloin steak, caribou pepper steak as well as a speckled trout and Greenland cod. All are Indigenous to the area of Churchill and surrounding areas.

Churchill Polar Bear Tours are taken in tundra vehicles which are made to move over the ice and snow effortlessly. They are designed to protect its passengers from famished and inquisitive bears. The lodges that are on the bears movement routes have protective fences built around for both the bears and the inhabitant's safety.
