In the coming days, your gourmet breakfast will be served at 8:00am and the first walking tour generally leaves at 9:30am, motorised vehicles are kept to a strict minimum to ease environmental impact. Should there be a polar bear in camp (which is quite often) walks are delayed for some photo opportunities. The walks are comfortably paced as they are geared towards plenty of viewing and photo opportunities. They are guided by our professional and knowledgeable tour leaders and so you’ll learn lots along the way.

After another hearty breakfast it is time to pack for the flight back to Churchill, say your goodbyes and snap a few more pictures (although you will be departing the lodge but not the bears)! After another exciting aerial tour, you’ll arrive in Churchill where your bags will be stored for you until you can check into your hotel later in the day. You are then free to explore and dine in this frontier community at your leisure.

Today you will travel across the tundra in the world famous Tundra Buggies for more polar bear viewing! Transportation by bus to and from the Tundra Buggies is provided at 8:00am and 5:00pm respectively, make sure you grab some breakfast before you go. Lunch "with the bears" will be prepared and served to you on the tour. Tundra Buggies are chartered so there are fewer guests for better views and a higher level of comfort. After your last day with the bears, you will be escorted to the airport for your flight to Winnipeg.
