Classic Polar Bear Adventure
World’s Most Coveted Small-Group Polar Bear Expedition
An extraordinary adventure is only available for a few weeks every year near Churchill, Manitoba. During the fall the tundra turns crimson and the Polar Bears wander into the area, roaming the rocky shores of Hudson Bay. The bay freezes and provides a platform for hunting seals, the staple of the bears diets.
The big bear ambles, then halts again. He rises on his haunches to peer at us more deliberately. It is a true thrill to see the sight of a huge polar bear. Sometimes they are silhouetted against the horizon, slowly moving shadows on the vast expanse of tundra. On other occasions, one may wander right up alongside us. Safely elevated above him, you’re nonetheless just feet away as you peer down at his shaggy, cream-colored bulk. Noticing us, he stops, sniffs and turns his face our way, curious. Awed, we draw in our breath, surrounded by the silence of the tundra.
The area of the safari is in the Churchill Wildlife Management area where we have one of the exclusive permits. Trips are in custom Polar Rover Tundra Vehicles. They are uncrowded with group size limited to approximately 16 - there is plenty of space. Built into the rear viewing platform of every Polar Rover is an innovative and exclusive feature - corrugated steel-mesh floors that let you witness from remarkably close proximity the curious bears that often wander beneath the vehicles!
