Professional Tour Guide

Meals provided by the Lazy Bear Café and included in your adventure

The 1.5 hour helicopter tour was fantastic! - the time in the helicopter makes a huge difference compared to a shorter ride; The zodiac tour was also fantastic. Tour guide Jason was fantastic. Seeing the Northern Lights was also fantastic-Jason took our group, 10 pm - 12 am to see the Northern Lights near Miss Piggy, which was really appreciated… The Boreal walk was excellent. The cultural/heritage tour and Churchill Northern Studies walk/presentation (by the director) were very good.
