Polar bear watching in Churchill is a fantastic experience. There is no road - train or plane is the mode of arrival. You will be taken out in a tundra buggy, a special vehicle equipped for travel in this area, to see the polar bears as they wait for the ice to form on Hudson Bay.
Price varies according to which company is used, amount of time spent in Churchill, and where you are traveling from. Price given is for a one-day excursion from Calgary, AB, including flights, bus transfers, 3 meals, and about five and a half hours on the tundra buggy.

Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
