8 days London to
London, small group departure
Day
1. Depart London [D]
Depart London for Winnipeg, flying via Toronto. On arrival you will be met and
transferred to the Hotel Fort Garry for a 1-night stay.
Day 2. Tundra Lodge, Churchill [B, L, D]
This morning you fly to Churchill and transfer in the afternoon to the Tundra
Lodge by tundra buggy. Spend the afternoon getting acclimatised and touring this
remote sub-arctic outpost. In the evening, enjoy a slide presentation on Polar
Bears and the northern environs. Tundra Lodge is a remarkable mobile hotel that
is placed in an area of high bear density at the beginning of the Polar Bear
season. It has 32 rooms (although the group sizes are limited to a maximum of
25), and each room is a single compartment. There are shared shower and toilet
facilities as well as a lounge and dining area, from where you can observe bear
activity while relaxing in Tundra Lodge's modest surroundings. Spend three
nights at Tundra Lodge.
Days 3 to 5. Bear-viewing from Tundra Lodge [B, L, D]
During your time spent on the tundra, you will have unparalleled opportunities
for Polar Bear-viewing. Inquisitive bears often approach the lodge which is
equipped with rows of windows and fenced observation decks to accommodate your
own curiosity. Your unique location, combined with the opportunity for half-day
excursions around the tundra in your on-site tundra vehicle affords some of the
best possible wildlife experiences in the Churchill area. You may see young
adult males play-fighting and solitary adult males lumbering across the tundra.
The interaction between Polar Bears at this time of year is fascinating and your
guide will ensure that you see and learn as much as possible. At the end of a
day of exploration, you retire to your warm, comfortable accommodation for
dinner and presentations. If you are lucky, the Northern Lights may grace you
with their eerie presence in the night-time skies, and the glowing eyes of
Arctic Foxes, bears, and other wildlife may be visible in the light the lodge
casts across the frozen ground.
Day 6. Winnipeg [B, L, D]
 Fly back to Winnipeg after some free time to pick up some last-minute souvenirs,
where you transfer to the Hotel Fort Garry for your final night.
Day 7. Homeward [B]
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your homeward flight.
Day 8. Arrive home
9 day option: - This has one less night spent in the
Tundra Lodge but two extra nights in Churchill, allowing for a full day tour of
the town. You may visit the Eskimo Museum and Cape Merry where Arctic Fox
frequent. Optional excursions include helicopter rides and dog sledging.
