Your Itinerary
Day 1 : UK - Winnipeg
Arrive in Winnipeg where you will enjoy a relaxing overnight stay.
Day 2 : Churchill
Arrive in Churchill by air. Your flight will take you northwest along the rugged Hudson Bay coastline to the finest polar bear viewing eco-lodge on the planet, Seal River Lodge. Arrive at the Lodge, meet your hosts, check into your private room. Either receive a safety briefing and head out for your first hike or pack an overnight bag and continue to Tundra Camp where your orientation will be delivered.
Day 3-7 : Tundra trekking, Hudson Bay Coastline & more
The location of Seal River Heritage Lodge on the coast of Hudson Bay puts it directly in the path of polar bears who wander the shoreline as they await freeze-up. At Tundra Camp join Jad Davenport for two unforgettable days of glamping in the Barren Lands, staying in comfortable tented accommodation. Walk in the ancient migratory path the Qaminurjuaq caribou herd and learning about Arctic flora and fauna. The remoteness and logistical considerations of this site make this an experience that only a handful of guests have the chance to partake in each year. Expert naturalist guides are extremely knowledgeable about the land and the wildlife so be prepared to learn all about the ecosystems of the Hudson Plains and the Taiga Shield.
