ON THE CANADIAN TUNDRA MEET WILD POLAR BEARS
Dear Nature Traveler,
When I first visited Churchill, Manitoba, in the early 1990s, I found a town and people like no other: tough, resilient and deeply connected to the land and its wildlife— particularly polar bears.
Known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World, Churchill has embraced careful tourism as a force for conservation, as locals share the urgent story of a species facing the impact of a rapidly warming Arctic.
Over four decades, the Arctic has lost more than 750,000 square miles of summer sea ice—an area greater than the size of Alaska. As the ice melts earlier and freezes later, polar bears have less time to hunt, posing a growing threat to their survival.
A visit to Churchill is more than just a wildlife adventure—it’s a chance to see firsthand what is at stake as we witness the valor of an animal whose future depends on what we do next.
Nat Hab offers seven different polar bear adventures, all providing an intimate encounter with these Arctic icons.
Choose among town-based trips with tundra excursions in custom Polar Rovers; stay in the bears’ domain on our Tundra Lodge itineraries; opt for a trip that includes an exhilarating helicopter safari; or pick a Photo Expedition with an expert photography guide to help you capture images of a lifetime.
On every trip, you’ll travel in a small group led by the world’s most passionate and knowledgeable Expedition Leaders, supported by seasoned local guides.
You’ll come away knowing your presence makes a difference. Every visit to Churchill supports local businesses, conservation initiatives and ongoing research that helps protect the bears, strengthening the momentum to safeguard their future.
I hope you’ll join us in Churchill this fall!
Ben Bressler Explorer, Founder, Conservationist
P.S. Polar bear season in Churchill lasts less than two months, so space is strictly limited. Please call us today to be sure you’re with us this year: 800-543-8917.
THE POLAR BEARS OF CHURCHILL & THE CANADIAN NORTH
There's no better place on the planet than Churchill, Manitoba, to see polar bears in their natural habitat. Located on the western shore of Hudson Bay at the nexus of three biomes— marine, tundra and boreal forest—Churchill lies at the heart of the annual fall polar bear migration route. Polar bears congregate here in October and November, waiting for the sea ice to form and their winter seal-hunting season to begin. Other Arctic wildlife thrives in the Churchill region, too, including Arctic fox, Arctic hare, snowy owl and ptarmigan.
There's no better place to see polar bears in their natural habitat than Churchill, Manitoba, which lies at the heart of the annual fall polar bear migration route. And our itineraries, crafted with decades of experience, maximize your chances to see them while immersing you in northern culture. Every trip includes bear viewing from our Polar Rovers and a sled dog ride through the forest—and some itineraries feature a stay among the bears at the Tundra Lodge or an aerial view by helicopter, with a landing to explore a vacant polar bear den!
FLY BY PRIVATE CHARTERED AIRCRAFT
To maximize our time with polar bears, we don't waste time dealing with airline schedules and airport security screenings—we charter our own plane to fly you directly from Winnipeg to Churchill.
STAY IN HISTORIC WINNIPEG
Once a fur-trading post and railway boomtown, Manitoba’s vibrant capital on the eastern edge of Canada’s vast prairie is the cultural and commercial center of the province. Stay in the heart of it at the venerable Fort Garry Hotel.

CHURCHILL, MANITOBA THE POLAR BEAR CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Set on the western edge of Hudson Bay just below the Arctic Circle, tiny Churchill— population 900—is one of Canada’s most remote towns, inaccessible by road. Each autumn, several hundred polar bears roam the tundra around Churchill, whose location is key to their annual migration: Hudson Bay begins to freeze here first, drawing bears as they wait for the sea ice to form their winter seal-hunting platform. Hardy people have lived among them for centuries, and Churchill’s heritage is shaped by its Inuit, Métis, Dene, Chipewyan and Cree cultures—a presence that long predates European contact in the 17th century. In 1717, the Hudson's Bay Company established the first permanent settlement, a fur trading post on the Churchill River. In 1929, a port was built, linked by a rail line, to move grain from Manitoba’s prairies. Today, Churchill’s economy relies heavily on tourism that revolves around its most famous residents, as visitors flock to see polar bears in October and November—and no one offers a better encounter with them, and with the people of Churchill, than Nat Hab.

OUR CUSTOM POLAR ROVERS ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE
SAFELY OBSERVE BEARS
Large rear viewing platforms allow us to watch polar bears in the elements. They sometimes even lift their paws onto the sides to check us out!
STAY WARM ON BOARD
Each Polar Rover features an interior heating system designed to keep the entire vehicle at a comfortable temperature as we open and close the windows and doors for wildlife viewing.
SEE BEARS DIRECTLY BELOW
See-through steel mesh decking on the outside platform allows us to come within inches of bears if they wander beneath—a feature of our vehicles alone.
CONVENIENT FACILITIES
No smelly drop bucket that needs emptying—we have installed flush toilets on board to ensure your comfort when you need to heed nature’s call.
RIDE HIGH OVER THE TUNDRA
Huge 6-foot tundra tires lift us safely above the bears while providing a comfortable ride over the uneven tundra terrain.
AN UNIMPEDED VIEW
Oversized windows slide downward, allowing ample access for photography and polar bear viewing from the vehicle’s heated interior.
PLENTY OF PERSONAL SPACE
Our vehicles are designed to hold 30 or more, but for comfort, we limit our onboard groups to approximately 16. All guests get their own window seat and room to spread out.
A COMFORTABLE JOURNEY
Our custom-designed suspension system (leaf spring front with walking beam rear) enhances the glide of our vehicle and provides a gentler, smoother ride.
SPEED WHEN WE NEED IT
Polar Rovers are powered by 240 H.P. DT466 International engines, permitting a top speed of 35 miles per hour, when we need to cover ground.
LEARN MORE WITH TWO GUIDES
Our trips include both a professional Nat Hab naturalist Expedition Leader and a highly experienced local driver/guide, by your side to interpret every wildlife encounter.
CLOSE COMMUNICATION
Our dual radio system keeps our drivers in constant contact with our Rover base and other drivers while our Expedition Leaders maintain contact with other guides and our Churchill office—facilitating the safest and best polar bear viewing.
GET CLOSER TO BEARS
An angled front windshield—exclusive to our vehicles—allows you to peer forward for closer viewing when the action is right in front of us.

POLAR BEARS STAY AMONG WILD AT THE TUNDRA LODGE
Located on the subarctic plain along Hudson Bay outside Churchill, Manitoba, the world-famous Tundra Lodge is a one-of-a-kind hotel stationed in an area of high polar bear density. Each of its 32 rooms is a single compartment similar to sleeping quarters on a train, with either an upper or lower berth. With six shared toilets and four showers, as well as a lounge area for viewing bears and a dining car with sliding windows for easy photography access, the Tundra Lodge offers an immersive Arctic wilderness experience without sacrificing comfort. Outdoor viewing platforms facilitate close-up polar bear observation and photography opportunities, as well as aurora watching when the northern lights are visible. There’s no opportunity anywhere else that affords this chance to be in prime polar bear habitat around the clock!

LOOK FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS VIEWING LOCATIONS FROM OUR PRIVATE
When skies are clear over Churchill, the odds are good to see the northern lights. Churchill sits directly beneath the auroral oval, the electromagnetic band that circles the polar region where aurora borealis activity is strongest. This mystical phenomenon in the dark night sky is a highlight for those fortunate enough to observe it on a visit to Churchill. While the aurora can be elusive during polar bear season, since autumn skies are often overcast, we maximize your chances to view the northern lights at private locations well outside town, away from the glow of artificial light. And we make sure you stay warm and cozy, with hot drinks and snacks as we wait for the aurora’s appearance.

PREMIER POLAR BEAR ADVENTURE CANADA’S
The World’s Most Coveted Small-Group Polar Bear Expedition
When you’re standing on the outdoor platform of our Polar Rover, the chill Arctic air feels invigorating. But not as much as the sight of the huge polar bear ambling toward us. Sometimes they are silhouetted against the horizon, slowly moving shadows on the vast expanse of tundra. Other times, we’ll see a mother with cubs up close...or a lone male may wander directly below us! Safely elevated, you’re nonetheless just feet away as you look down on his shaggy, cream-colored bulk. Noticing us, he stops, sniffs and turns his face our way, curious. We grin with delight. The big bear rises on his haunches to peer at us more deliberately. We watch in wonder. Minutes go by, perhaps an hour, who knows? Out here among the bears, time stands still. Join us for one of nature’s most wondrous wildlife encounters—no one makes it more exhilarating than Nat Hab!

NAT HAB’S AURORA EXPERIENCE ON THE TUNDRA
Spend an evening under the stars—and maybe the northern lights! Visit the tundra aboard our Polar Rover, with dinner served aboard and possible nighttime polar bear sightings. If skies are clear, they might reveal one of nature’s most thrilling spectacles: the aurora borealis, which we view away from the lights of town. Though we can never predict if and how it will appear, it often begins as a pale glow that becomes a shimmering curtain of color— usually green, but sometimes red or even violet.

GO DOG SLEDDING WITH CHURCHILL'S TOP MUSHERS
On every polar bear adventure, Nat Hab travelers get to experience a distinctly northern pursuit: a brisk ride behind a team of energetic huskies. Our host is Churchill native Dave Daley, who has been mushing dogs here since the late 1990s. Dave grew up enamored with his grandfather’s two Samoyeds, hooking them up to his small sled as a boy. He went on to race his own dog team, then founded Wapusk Adventures in 2001 to share his love of dog sledding with Churchill visitors. Guests are invited to come out to the kennel, meet the team, learn about the history of dog mushing, then hop into a sled for a bracing ride through the boreal forest. Earlyseason visitors don’t miss out: if snowfall is low, Dave’s dogs pull a wheeled cart. Wapusk Adventures is also an award-winning long-distance racing kennel. Dave founded the famous Hudson Bay Quest, a 200-mile race over the wilds of northern Manitoba, often in severe winter weather conditions. Of Metis heritage, Dave has been recognized for Indigenous tourism leadership, encouraging young people from Indigenous backgrounds to discover the age-old northern tradition of dog sledding.

WE LOVE CHURCHILL! PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITY
Local communities are central to Nat Hab’s mission of conservation through exploration. As the people of Churchill have graciously hosted our guests and staff for more than 35 years, we’ve built a mutually beneficial relationship around the shared goal of protecting their environment, wildlife and cultures. Nat Hab partners with town leaders to support Churchill residents, including hosting community meals; providing fresh produce and milk for the school breakfast program; donating to local Scouts, Girl Guides, Junior Canadian Rangers and Warrior Caregiver organizations; contributing to the Christmas Cheer Board that provides food baskets for elders; offering a wilderness first aid course for community members; and donating a stair climber to the local fitness center. In 2024, Nat Hab also contributed more than $3,400 to the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada and more than $2,000 to support Indigenous Tourism Manitoba.
