In the subarctic town of Churchill in Manitoba, natural wonders can be spotted on land, in the skies and at sea


In northern Canada, on the migration path of polar bears and beluga whales, the remote town of Churchill is a wildlife-viewing hotspot. Situated beneath the auroral oval, it also offers a nature experience of a different kind – here, the northern lights can be seen up to 300 nights a year.


This town offers a whole range of unique experiences, such as spotting polar bears in their natural habitat on the tundra. Booking with Frontiers North Adventures means you will travel in new electric vehicles, offering a sustainable, non-intrusive touring experience.


If you are looking for a water-based activity, try paddleboarding, kayaking or a boat tour – with Lazy Bear Expeditions’ newest vessel Matonabee – to view thousands of beluga whales that reside here.


To catch a glimpse of the northern lights dancing in the sky, you have a multitude of options, including heading out on a Tundra vehicle, or cosying up in a yurt in the boreal forest.


The phenomena of Churchill offer visitors to Manitoba an unforgettable experience – one that can be extended with a trip to Winnipeg, the province’s historic and culture-rich capital.
