Tundra Lodge Polar Bear Adventure
Join an adventure that promises total immersion in a spectacular tundra environment! Stay at the newly-constructed Great White Bear Tundra Lodge, situated outside of Churchill on the tundra itself. As evening falls, only a select few travelers remain in the domain of the polar bear to watch the solitude and serenity of sunset intensify across the barren landscape. Your lodge is a Âtrain of connected single rooms and dining and lounge areas, accommodating 35-plus travelers (group size limited to 22-30). And, because itÂs on wheels, it is sure to be situated in the best bear-viewing area each season.

Dinner this evening will be at your special Tundra Lodge, under the Arctic skies and amongst the polar bears! B,L,DDays 3-5: Two More Days at Tundra Lodge
The Tundra Lodge is strategically positioned at the beginning of each season in the best area for bear viewing. During your time spent on the tundra, you will have wonderful opportunities for viewing bears and other wildlife. Inquisitive bears often approach the lodge, which is equipped with rows of windows and fenced observation decks to accommodate your own curiosity. Your unique location, combined with the opportunity for half-day excursions around the tundra in the special tundra vehicle thatÂs kept on the site, affords you some of the best possible wildlife experiences in the Churchill area. At the end of a day of exploration, you can retire to your warm, comfortable accommodations for dinner and presentations. If youÂre lucky, the northern lights may grace you with their eerie presence in the nighttime skies, and the glowing eyes of Arctic fox, bears, and other wildlife may be visible in the light your hotel casts across the frozen tundra. The Tundra Lodge truly gives you an authentic and comfortable Arctic experience! B,L,DDay 6: Churchill / Winnipeg
