Selecting Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours

By Paulette Mason


Traveling into Northern Canada or Alaska can be a trip of a life time. As an extended vacation touring wilderness locations can be very exciting and leave the traveler with a desire to return as often as possible. Determining which of many available activities to select is the key to a successful excursion. The Churchill Manitoba polar bear tours may prove to be the exact adventure you need.

The tour lodges in this area will be found in the coastal areas because that is where most wild animals congregate for feeding and hunting. Being the polar bear capital of the world ensures that visitors will be able to view bears in their natural habitat and have the opportunity to photograph them on many occasions. The tour lodges guarantee sightings and photo opportunities of multiple forms of wild life.

You have options as to what type of tour you can book. Some lodges offer full packages that provide travel, lodging and activities during your stay. Others will supply activities once you have arrived and settled into your lodgings. All lodges have transportation to and from areas where you can view bears and other creatures in their natural state. These tundra rovers are equipped to carry between fifteen and thirty passengers comfortably.

Most lodges have transporters that can seat up to thirty people comfortably. Many of these rovers have been redesigned to carry a maximum of fifteen people at one time to optimize the comfort level of guests. When the tour is for the full day the host supplies sandwiches, beverages and dessert for participants. All rovers are equipped with bathrooms for guest use.

Some guides take their clients on walking expeditions after arrival at the sighting areas. The walking tour will bring the client close enough to observe bears interacting with one another undisturbed by human presence. Because the landscape is tundra it is flat enough to not present walking problems for most people.

One company offers the option of staying in a mobile hotel. They have created a extra large vehicle that sleeps up to thirty people in single rooms. It also contains showers, bathroom facilities, windows that open from a control room and a viewing platform that brings them within a foot of bears in a secure enclosure. They also supply an award winning chef for the dining pleasure of their guests. Clients who opt for this experience can look forward to several days and nights in the wild with all the comforts they find at home.

Researching the qualifications of the people who will be acting as your guides is an important step when planning your trip. Most guides have extensive experience not only in this areas you will visit but also in the habits and behaviors of bears during the entire year. There are seminars held yearly for providing up to date information for them and as refresher courses in areas that do not arise often.

You must arrive by air to experience this area so seclusion from crowds is nearly guaranteed. When all things are considered this may be a one of a kind adventure that might well turn into the high point of your life.
