Tundra Bus The Best Way to
See the Best Show on Earth
With large, overinflated tires, the tundra vehicles are designed
to safely travel over the fragile ecosystem. Our warm, self-contained
tundra bus takes us out onto the tundra to view these magnificent
beasts, some just a few feet away from our window. Invented
and perfected in Churchill, the tundra buses let you get within
a few feet of the bears and be completely safe, secure and comfortable!
Vehicles are well-heated with onboard washroom facilities and
large viewing windows, plus a special open-air observation platform
for watching the bears. Have your cameras ready!

Rustic and charming, the Lazy Bear Lodge is an elegant, handcrafted

newest in Churchill, the Lazy Bear Lodge is smoke-free and family-run,
bringing you the best in personal service and quality amenities.
Eat fireside at the Lazy Bear Cafe as you feast on homemade
cuisine, creating a true Northern ambiance youll always
remember.
Churchill Discover the Polar Bear Capital of
the World
Established as a grain port in the early 1700s, the frontier
town of Churchill is home to the worlds southernmost
population of polar bears. These magnificent creatures, the
monarch of the Arctic, tip the scales at over 1300 pounds and
can stand some 10 feet tall. Anticipating the winter freeze,
polar bears congregate along the coast beginning in October
to return to the seal-rich feeding grounds on the ice flows
of Hudson Bay. Watch as they search for food, play and roughhouse
as they have for centuries. Tours are led by experienced driver-guides
whose years of hands-on experience in the Churchill region provide
an insightful narration. In your hunt for wildlife, you may
also sight arctic foxes, arctic hares, caribou, ringed seals
and the beautiful willow ptarmigan.
Get an awe-inspiring look at the greatest wildlife viewing spectacles
on Earth. For those who hear the call of the wild,
join us for this once in a lifetime experience!
