Ultimate Polar Bear Tour

                      See polar bears up close from the safety of our tundra vehicle.

Spend two full days on the tundra in search of the majestic polar bear. Each day you’ll explore more of the Hudson Bay coastline with a driver/guide who will lead you through our wildlife viewing area in search of artic fox, arctic hare, camouflaged ptarmigan and, if you are lucky, the snowy owl and the gyrfalcon.

One day will be spent on the large Lazy Bear Lodge Tundra Vehicle with the other on our classic Lazy Bear Lodge Wildlife Viewing Bus. Both vehicles are comfortable and equipped with a propane furnace, bathroom facility, and a rear viewing deck so you can safely stand outside while photographing. Although we can accommodate as many as 40 on our tundra vehicles we try to limit our group sizes to approximately 30 for your comfort and convenience. The type of vehicle may change based on weather and availability.

One of your days on a tundra vehicle, you may travel just below the tree line in the boreal forest. On tundra viewing days we depart from the lodge at 8:00 a.m. A hearty lunch, hot drinks and snacks are included.

A Cultural and Heritage Tour will take you to historic Cape Merry, where the Churchill River spills into the bay, and several sites and short hikes along the coastline. You will visit the polar bear jail where polar bears who get too close to town are kept before their release. Dog sled tours or a helicopter tour of the nearby Hudson Bay and Cape Churchill areas are also available.
