Day 2

Newborn Polar Bear Cubs Lodge

Overnight: Newborn Polar Bear Cubs Lodge (B, L, D)

Days 3-8

Newborn Polar Bear Cubs Lodge

Over the next six days you will enjoy early breakfasts, departing the lodge around 8.30am in heated, tracked vehicles. Scouts go on ahead of you, radioing with the locations of dens, some already known, others may be new. Upon discovering a den, your patience will be rewarded with the sighting of between one and three newborn polar bear cubs venturing, with their mother, into the world for the first time! As they take their first shaky steps on the powdery snow, clumsily pondering after their mother, you may be able to get as close as 100 metres. The nights are just as rewarding as, after dinner, you can go outside and keep your eyes peeled for the northern lights!

Day 9

Newborn Polar Bear Cubs Lodge - Winnipeg

Say goodbye to the tundra and to the polar bear families you have encountered as you transfer to Chesnaye, before your two hour train journey back to Churchill. You will then board your onward flight to Winnipeg.
