3. LOOKING FOR THE BEARS Camera in hand, take your seat inside a heated tundra vehicle with an outdoor observation deck. Each autumn, the polar bears migrate from their summer habitat on the tundra to food-hunting territory on Hudson Bay; onboard, keep a lookout for these spectacular animals. Massive in size, they can move with surprising agility. While you may view the antics and activities of cavorting cubs, “wrestling” teenagers, and cautious old-timers keeping an eye out for everything from other animals to human visitors, our naturalist guide will tell you about the conservation efforts being made on their behalf. Back at the lodge, you’ll have the chance to freshen up before dinner tonight, which is at your leisure. Meals BLD
4. LIFE OUT ON THE TUNDRA On a visit to Churchill’s Eskimo Museum, view one of Canada’s oldest and most comprehensive collections of Inuit artefacts and sculptures (the visit day may vary). Then spend another day out on the tundra as you meet Mother Nature on her terms. From the comfort of your warm specially designed tundra vehicle, watch for signs of the wildlife that share these icy white landscapes with the giant white furry carnivores. Look for white snowy owls perched on high, falcons cruising over bushes, and white Arctic foxes trotting across the flats, all searching for unsuspecting prey like lemmings, who are oh so low on the food chain out here in the Canadian tundra. Meals BLD
5. DOG SLEDDING & WINNIPEG This morning learn all about dog sledding, which is a hugely popular winter activity and sport in Churchill. Attend a presentation by experienced dog trainers for fascinating insights on these friendly dedicated canines – and hold on tight as you experience the thrill of being pulled by a team of powerful dogs firsthand. Return to Winnipeg by private charter flight this afternoon and join us this evening for a farewell cocktail reception and dinner back at the Inn at the Forks. Meals BLD
6. JOURNEY HOME Tour ends: Winnipeg. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included from the Inn at the Forks to Winnipeg Int’l Airport. Allow a minimum of three hours for flight check-in. Meals B
