The Arctic North of Canada is a fairy tale place of pioneer spirit, polar bears, gold prospectors, northern lights, migrating beluga whales and permanent sunny days; where the seemingly impossible comes to life before your eyes. With very sparse human settlement, the tundra of the region comes alive during the summer months when it is carpeted with colourful flowers and the wildlife of the region, of which the indisputable star is the King of the Arctic, emerges. Arctic Canada is defined as the area north of the Arctic Circle, which constitutes the expansive wilderness of the provinces of Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
It’s not just the bears here, but you can also fine eider ducks, murres, kittewakes, Arctic fox, moose, caribou, snowy owls and much more.

It was absolutely sensational! You definitely recommended the trip for us. We saw so many bears and at such close quarters it was almost too good to be true. We lost count! All things considered, it will be a difficult wildlife experience to match and we're missing our tundra dream like mad. It's great to be still talking about the bears a week on when reality has well and truly begun to take over again! The whole thing was an absolute dream (and we've never said that about any of our trips before).
It was everything we had hoped for and more. From the first time I contacted Gemma until we returned, everything went exactly as planned. There were so many moving parts to deal with, and the very minor "glitches" were easily dealt with. The accommodations at the lodge were great, the food had to be seen to be believed, and the staff were helpful, patient, kind and protective. The bears were unbelievable... We saw them constantly, some from afar and some very close (less than a few metres away)… Wow!
The journey was very well organised with well briefed staff at every stage. If one had a problem it was quickly overcome. Our leaders were very knowledgeable and ensured everything went like clockwork.
Churchill was the trip of a lifetime! The guide, Terry, was amazing! His compassion and understanding for the polar bears and his knowledge of the land was so much more than I could ever imagine. I only wished I could have stayed out there for the season. When looking into the eyes of the bears we encountered, I felt such a deep appreciation and love... These creatures are powerful, mysterious and lovely. Observing them in their environment was an awesome adventure. If you've trekked with the Virunga mountain gorillas in Rwanda, this trip is a must!
It was awesome! We saw more bears than I thought possible and I even saw baby cubs and an Arctic fox. The accommodation was just perfect for the trip we were on.
Incredible. The most amazing adventure. Everything worked well; it was everything I had hoped for!
Not having travelled with you before, I was not sure what to expect, but everything about the trip was perfect! Very well organised, with very good guides.
Excellent food, superb staff, comfortable accommodations, great polar bear & beluga whale sightings.
We joined the polar bear fly in migration safari and it was brilliant! We saw bears up close and even northern lights for two nights. The guides were amazing and we learned a lot about the Arctic and tundra, the polar bears, and the Inuit culture. Food and accommodation were excellent.
Overall Excellent - Seal River was 10/10 - excellent company, food, accommodation, lodge layout, variety of excursions and programme and amazing wildlife and viewings. Guides at both lodges were superb. Was very impressed by the variety that could be offered and tailoring to our needs.
We had some great advice at the start that helped us change our destination and experience to one that was much better for us. All the arrangements were very smooth and communication strong.
Excellent safari. I learnt a lot and felt thoroughly looked after.
Fantastic in every way. Perfect!
The small town of Churchill sits on the edge of Hudson Bay in Northern Manitoba and is the starting point for some life-changing polar expeditions into the tundra wilderness. Situated at the most southerly range of a polar bear’s habitat, the milder climate of Churchill means that ice completely melts in the summer months, effectively stranding the bears until the ice freezes again, but creating more favourable conditions for wildlife enthusiasts as you observe them as they wait for the ‘Big Freeze’.
The Nunavut archipelago includes Ellesmere Island, Baffin Island and Victoria Island over a vast area of 2.2 million square kilometres. Ellesmere is just 800 kilometres from the North Pole and has a spellbinding scenic mix of ice caps, glaciers, fjords and vast wilderness. Further southwest of here is Baffin Island, named after the famous explorer William Baffin, this is Canada’s largest island, with a population of just 11,000. It has a picturesque mountain range - Baffin Mountains – with its highest peak Mount Odin at 2,147 metres elevation. It is possible to see Arctic wolf, caribou, Arctic fox, and polar bear here.
These areas combine a huge range of experiences between them from polar bears tracking and ice camping, to seeing the northern lights.We are destination specialists
