Your adventure begins in Churchill, Manitoba where northern lights are active 300 nights each year. Weather permitting, you’ll witness Aurora’s nightly dance of mystical light and colour against starry skies from curated viewing and photography areas in and around Churchill as well as a stunning location on the coast of the Hudson Bay, exclusive to Lazy Bear Lodge and Expeditions.
Ready for more adventure? Hop aboard one of our Arctic Crawlers™ and enjoy unforgettable views of the unique, breathtaking and colourful sub-Arctic tundra and Hudson Bay coastline. Polar Bear, Moose, Caribou, Red and Arctic Fox, Ptarmigan and Arctic Hare are all possible sightings this time of year.
Feel an adrenaline rush as you ride in a dog cart pulled by Huskies in the Northern Boreal Forest. Hear Indigenous stories and wisdom from a Métis dog musher.
Trek along the Hudson Bay coast to the Ithaca, a once British-flagged steamship that ran aground during an eighty-mile-an-hour storm. Don’t be surprised if you see a polar bear or two Up North and Personal™.
Hear local Indigenous beliefs about northern lights and storytelling around a warm, cozy bonfire as you enjoy hot chocolate and Bannock— a bread eaten as a meal by early settlers and Indigenous people.
Day and night, all meals are included, delicious and locally-inspired meals in our Lazy Bear Café, awarded ‘Top Choice of Restaurants in Churchill’ by Lonely Planet.
