The lion may be the king of the jungle, but the polar bear is the ruler of the arctic. This powerful and mighty creature is a natural wonder, an animal that lives mostly on ice sheets, swims in freezing waters, and can also survive on land.

Beluga Whales in the Churchill area are among the most watched creatures in the world—by scientists and adventurers alike. The uniquely white whales are charming, playful, natural singers, and, despite their immense size, are graceful and beautiful to watch.

Wildlife in the Churchill area is abundant, with many rare and wonderful species to see. Some leave for the winter and some, uniquely equipped to deal with the snowy conditions, remain behind all year.

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are a wondrous and even mysterious natural phenomenon. These shimmering ribbons of rainbow-coloured light dance across the night sky 300 days a year.

Boreal Gardens Research is Manitoba’s most northern farm. We are an organic greenhouse farm located on farm property located directly on Hudson Bay. All our produce is 100% organically grown using locally produced soil mixed from natural clay, aquatic loam, peat moss (lichen derivative) and organic boreal compost. We strive to provide Lazy Bear Expeditions with a 100% sustainable vegetable, greens, and herb market. Our sustainable produce feeds hundreds each year with wholesome produce grown north of Canada’s tree line here in the Sub-Arctic.

A Gem in Churchill

Our experience at Lazy Bear Lodge from the moment we were met to board our plane to Churchill was great , Arriving at the airport in Churchill and being met by staff from Lazy Bear went so smoothly . Our overall experience was beyond expectations from the moment we checked in . We stayed on an all inclusive plan, including tours every day for four days and three meals included. The food was excellent , as good as any fine dining menu , great wonderful presentations , the serving staff are so personable . The rooms are small but cozy, with white linens on the bed which give it a more updated look . But it isn’t about the room as you will discover , as we did. The Tour guides work here and are not only friendly but so knowledgeable…On tour we saw great northern lights , beluga whales on a zodiac and polar bears by helicopter and a dog mushing tour. These were the highlights for us. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed ..

This Lodge and Trip is a true gem!

This was an unbelievable trip. Deacon and Eric were very knowledgeable - the staff at the Lodge was accommodating and fantastic. We saw lots of bear activity including mums with cubs, and a couple of highly interactive and engaging bears. Total count was high - perhaps 30 over two days? I travelled with my 82 year old mother and staff were very solicitous.

Did I mention the food? Really good - including local specialties such as Elk (amazing!). Overall highly recommended and I am looking at coming back for Belugas and Bears in the summer! The Dog Sledding was excellent as well.

Fantastic experience…love the family vibe of lodge and friendliness of the staff.

I loved my entire experience in Churchill and a big part of that was staying at Lazy Bear Lodge. All the staff were lovely and a big thank you to Deacon and his family (who own lodge) who were excellent hosts. Deacon was my group’s guide and we had a great time out on the bay with the Belugas and out on the tundra buggy looking for polar bears (we spotted a mum and her baby).

I think the highlight for me was the coziness of the interior wood decor and the food. The meals were hearty and local. I tried arctic char, elk, and other local delicacies while there and the portions were generous and featured good variety of vegetables. My favourite was the polar bear shaped scones served at breakfast.
