Get wet & wild this summer!

With the Polar Bears leaving the melting sea ice heading to Churchill and 60,000 Beluga Whales filling the Hudson Bay, summer is an amazing time to visit Churchill!

The kayaking trip with belugas was magical. The polar bear sightings on the coastal tour were beyond any expectation. Stepping out on pan ice was like walking on jewelry. It was wholly amazing. The guides were fabulous ambassadors for the region and for Lazy Bear.

The whole experience was pure magic from beginning to end. I did not rate any of the tours because each one was exceptional in its own way and although I do not use social media, I have a big mouth and lots of friends and I will be singing your praises for a long while yet. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

Physical Rating - Easy: Light walking and hiking. Suitable for most fitness levels.

Age Requirement: Our Ultimate Arctic Summer Adventure boat tour is recommended for ages 12 & up. Kayaking and AquaGliding are recommended for ages 12 years & up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Our guides will take you in a customized vessel certified by Transport Canada on an adventure to experience one of the more remote Polar Bear viewing areas on the west side of Hudson Bay. We spend hours on the Hudson Bay so you will have plenty of opportunity to view Polar Bears in their summer environment, swimming and walking around the rocks and wildflowers. Weather and wildlife permitting, you will disembark the boat and walk where polar bears roam.

Along the same shoreline, hundreds of Beluga Whales come to feed, mate and give birth in the warm, shallow near-coastal waters. Our Beluga Whale Boat/Fort Tour will focus on viewing the beautiful Beluga Whales in their natural habitat in the Churchill River and into the Hudson Bay area as they feed on schools of Caplin, Arctic Char and Brook Trout. We will also go ashore for a walking tour of the historic Prince of Wales Fort. Kayaking or AquaGliding with the whales are available as optional extras.

Next, you will hop on a summer Tundra Tour on one of our brand-new, custom-built, state of the art Arctic Crawlers™ tundra vehicles with all the modern amenities including USB ports, to view the beautiful landscape. This tour will be on the same vehicles we use for our fall Tundra Tour. Later that evening after a delectable supper, depending on weather and cloud coverage, it may be possible to see the Northern Lights.

The Cultural and Heritage Tour takes you through Churchill and the surrounding area where you will be exploring various historic sites. These include Cape Merry, an outside tour of the polar bear jail, the wreckage of the famous plane, "Miss Piggy", and many other historic sites that make Churchill the town it is today. You may walk around and take pictures or stay on the bus if you prefer.

Please inquire about customizations for group or individual reservations. Customizations can include additional Winnipeg nights and/or additional tours (based on availability).
