Selecting Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours

By Paulette Mason


Vacations to the far northern areas of Canada and Alaska can be a very exciting once in a life time experience. That presents the main reason to make sure your choice of activities will bring you the utmost pleasure and give you memories that will be with you forever. Selecting one of many Churchill Manitoba polar bear tours may provide just what you are looking for.

With the largest population of bears in the world in this area it is easy to see why it is considered the polar bear capital of the world. Tour promoters and guides will guarantee that you will see and be able to photograph numerous bears during your stay. The lodges are located in the midst of the bears range and near the coast where they feed and hunt.

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.

One of the lodges has a transport vehicle that is designed to accommodate up to thirty people comfortably. This lodge has a policy that limits the actual number of participants to fifteen to optimize the comfort of their clients. These vehicles offer lunches and beverages for the client and are equipped with restroom facilities. Most trips encompass a full day of activities.

Walking excursions are available with trained guides after the transporter arrives at the viewing sight. Visitors are led to areas where they can observe the bears without intruding on their behavior. This area is basically tundra so walking is not difficult for most although it can be muddy or slick in the tidal areas where it will be wet.

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.

All of the tour guides need to be highly skilled at their trade and have knowledge regarding the habits of bears and other wildlife in the area. Some of the organizations involved with the guides present seminars during the off seasons to ensure the guides have the latest information at their disposal. This technique also gives the guides opportunity to share experiences and ideas with their peers as learning opportunities to enhance their skills.

The only way into this area is by air. This allows for a secluded vacation without the usual crowds seen in most tourist areas. Combining the seclusion with the up close and personal encounters with these great white bears may provide you with the most exciting time of your life.
