Conservation Journey: Beluga Whales 6 Days

This exclusive tour combines field education and adventure to create a unique opportunity to experience Churchill’s coastal waters with leading beluga whale researcher and marine mammal scientist, Dr. Valeria Vergara.

Frontiers North’s Conservation Journey®: Beluga Whales brings you into the Churchill River estuary, where thousands of beluga whales migrate into the warm, shallow waters each summer to give birth and feed. Learn about beluga whale biology and ocean health, come face-to-face with beluga whales in their natural habitat and engage with researchers studying the behaviour and vocalizations of Churchill’s beluga whales.

Join us to see firsthand the work that is being done and learn how you can help protect beluga whales and our oceans for generations to come.

Interpretive-Guided: Our most well-rounded adventures, these tours include lodging and transportation with a mix of cultural and wildlife or northern lights viewing activities built in. Interpretive-guided tours are medium-capacity, escorted departures so you can sit back and relax while we take care of all the details.
