Summer tour to view beluga whales & polar bears
|
|
There are few places left on earth that are more remote than northern Manitoba and the Churchill area. It is the last untamed wilderness, an extraordinary land where the Arctic tundra and boreal forest merge to leave onlookers awed and spellbound. It is the "Land of Little Sticks", where you can encounter the mighty polar bear and majestic caribou on their mysterious wanderings. It is an enchanting land of fascinating flora that can come alive with brilliant colours or mesmerize with eternal white. It is the perfect location for viewing bears, belugas and a multitude of Arctic wildlife. Listen to the howling wolves, observe the mischievous Arctic hare and sik-siks (ground squirrels) and their nemesis, the Arctic fox. Be dazzled by more than 200 species of migrating birds - snowy owls, shorebirds, seabirds, and birds of prey. Perhaps, the most enchanting of all are the whales. These mysterious mammals call out to each other with a mystical cry. This location boasts the best place in the world to view beluga whales as they congregate in the warm summer waters of the river. The itinerary for this trip changes based on weather and tides. All trips will include interpretive walks, extended treks, canoeing and kayaking, boat tours, and aerial tours to get the best views of the wildlife in the area.

The lodge is poised majestically on a rocky peninsula that looks out on Hudson's Bay, the vast northern sea. Sit on our deck and meditate on the Arctic sunset; walk quietly amidst remnants of ancient Inuit and Dene hunting camps and feel the courage and ruggedness of these incredible people who traversed this land on their sleds and hunted
it with their spears. Then return to our lodge, with all the comforts of the 20th century, including first class accommodations and gourmet northern cuisine. All of the meals served at the lodge are prepared based on the recipes from the best selling cookbooks by Helen Webber and Marie Woosley.
