The Experience Viewing
polar bears in their natural habitat during the short arctic summer has become very
popular with wildlife, nature lovers and photographers. Canada is second to none for viewing polar bears. This fly-in polar bear viewing lodge is located on the southern tip of Wapusk National Park, south of Churchill Manitoba.
Cape Tatnum Wildlife Management Area is a remote stretch of Hudson Bay's coastline. It is here that
this population of polar bears lives and lazes the summer months away after they get off the ice flows
and onto the tidal flats. This is a one of a kind experience and is quite different from the Churchill
tours.....more info
EXPERIENCE CANADA'S ARCTIC TUNDRA
Cape Tatnum is a natural haven for polar bears. Polar bears are often seen sleeping for many days in huge pits or wallows that they dig in the cool beach sand. This behavior is often seen from the lodge or from the viewing towers, as the lodge is only a few hundred metres from the coastline. It is when the bears approach the 3 metre high security fence that the lodge gets most of it recognition as an eye to eye experience with the mighty Nanuk. This security fence protects visitors and bears, but does not discourage bears from investigating....more info
