Classic Churchill Polar Bear Adventure by Train 8 Days

The Classic Churchill Polar Bear Adventure by Train tour is led by an Interpretive Guide and includes a two-night train journey that winds through Manitoba and Saskatchewan to Churchill, a town only accessible by train or plane. There, guests will spend time getting to know the wondrous charm of the town of Churchill, while also spending plenty of time on the tundra watching majestic polar bears, and other arctic wildlife, in their natural habitat.

This hotel-based adventure offers the excitement of polar bear viewing from a Tundra Buggy®, and the opportunity to take in the eclectic charm of this remote northern town.

Our Classic Churchill Polar Bear Adventure by Train includes two full-day Tundra Buggy safaris in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area (CWMA), where polar bears await the freezing of the Hudson Bay. You will have plenty of opportunity to explore the CWMA for these majestic mammals and other subarctic wildlife in their natural environment.

Indulge in and explore the history and culture of Churchill at the Itsanitaq Museum, home to a large collection of Inuit artifacts including traditional carvings and kayaks. Next, take in the Parks Canada Visitor Centre for its in- depth displays revealing the history of Churchill, dating back to the fur trade era and beyond. You can even race through the boreal forest with a local dog musher and team of enthusiastic sled dogs by partaking in the traditional northern sport of dog sledding.

Sitting on the edge of the Hudson Bay, built on deep Indigenous roots and home to Canada’s most iconic wildlife, the town of Churchill is a must-visit destination for those who seek an authentic Canadian adventure!
