Selecting Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours

By Paulette Mason


Vacations to the far northern areas of Canada and Alaska can be a very exciting once in a life time experience. That presents the main reason to make sure your choice of activities will bring you the utmost pleasure and give you memories that will be with you forever. Selecting one of many Churchill Manitoba polar bear tours may provide just what you are looking for.

This vacation spot is considered the polar bear capital of the world because it is home for the largest population of bears. Seeing and being able to photograph these animals is actually guaranteed by the tour lodges available along the coast. Most lodges are located in the coastal areas because wild life migrates to the water for hunting and other feeding practices.

You have options as to what type of tour you can book. Some lodges offer full packages that provide travel, lodging and activities during your stay. Others will supply activities once you have arrived and settled into your lodgings. All lodges have transportation to and from areas where you can view bears and other creatures in their natural state. These tundra rovers are equipped to carry between fifteen and thirty passengers comfortably.

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.

Some guides take their clients on walking expeditions after arrival at the sighting areas. The walking tour will bring the client close enough to observe bears interacting with one another undisturbed by human presence. Because the landscape is tundra it is flat enough to not present walking problems for most people.

There is a tour company that maintains what they refer to as a mobile hotel. Guests are taken on excursions that last several days and have nearly all the comforts of home. The mobile hotel contains single sleeping areas, much like those found in trains, showers, flushing commodes, sliding windows for viewing and outdoor platforms where clients can come into very close contact with the bears. Another aspect of this mobile hotel is a first class chef to prepare meals for the clientele.

All of the tour guides need to be highly skilled at their trade and have knowledge regarding the habits of bears and other wildlife in the area. Some of the organizations involved with the guides present seminars during the off seasons to ensure the guides have the latest information at their disposal. This technique also gives the guides opportunity to share experiences and ideas with their peers as learning opportunities to enhance their skills.

Because there are no roads into this area visitors must fly into the area. This ensures that there will be no mobs of tourists to deal with while you vacation. Adding all of these things together may make this the best recreational excursion of your life.
