Winnipeg has a rich and varied history and is known for its friendly and welcoming spirit. An aboriginal trading center before the arrival of Europeans, Winnipeg was at the heart of Canada's fur trade and instrumental in developing Canada's gateway to the west. Home to a grain exchange that once rivaled the largest markets in the world, Winnipeg's architecture reflects the profound character of this small prairie town.
Travel From Winnipeg to Churchill | Flight + Cultural & Heritage Tour
This morning, head to the airport for a flight to Churchill via shuttle bus. On arrival at Churchill Airport, be greeted by a Lazy Bear Lodge guide and transferred to the lodge, where you will check-in, meet your hosts for the next few days, settle in, and then embark on an exploration of local culture and history with visits to sites such as Cape Merry or the jail - a temporary detention facility for polar bears living too close to town during feeding season.
After having breakfast, embark on a full-day boating tour to catch sight of the majestic polar bears. They can be seen in different places - swimming around in the waters or resting at some of the many secluded beaches.
Retake an adventure at sea on a Beluga Whale Boat Tour! Get up close and personal with these white-colored whales for some breathtaking views. The tour also includes a walking tour of the historic Prince of Wales Fort; this will give you insight into the history behind this region.
Explore at your own pace today - there are many exciting things to do here in Churchill! Such as visiting the Eskimo Museum and Canada Parks Museum or booking an adventure tour like kayaking, AquaGliding, or dog-mushing.
Discover the beauty of the tundra with an Arctic Crawler - an all-terrain vehicle specifically designed to explore the tundra and its flora and fauna. The shuttle will take you to Churchill Airport in the afternoon for your return flight to Winnipeg.
As usual, this morning we will have some free time before we depart from Winnipeg in the afternoon. Now at least, the time comes when we complete our journey and say goodbye to each other. We had a good time during our trip and left each other with best wishes.
