A Premier Polar Adventure Crafted by JE Escapes
Venture into the heart of Canada’s wild north on this once-in-a-lifetime journey to Churchill, Manitoba — the legendary Polar Bear Capital of the World. Each October and November, polar bears gather along Hudson Bay, waiting for the sea ice to form. This exclusive JE Escapes expedition puts you in the middle of this majestic migration, with luxury touches, seamless logistics, and world-class guides.
Arrive in Manitoba’s capital and check into your conveniently located hotel. Spend your afternoon exploring The Forks, a vibrant market and historic meeting place, or visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. In the evening, join your group for a welcome reception and expedition briefing, where your expert guide outlines the days ahead.
Optional: Arrange Arctic gear rental for parkas, boots, and insulated pants.
Board your chartered flight to Churchill and watch as the city gives way to endless subarctic tundra. Upon arrival, explore Churchill’s highlights on a guided town tour: see the Polar Bear Holding Facility, Cape Merry, and the iconic Inukshuk monument. Visit the Polar Bears International House for an inside look at conservation efforts and end the day with the immersive exhibits at Parks Canada Centre.
Step aboard your custom-built Tundra Buggy and venture deep into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area — prime polar bear territory. Keep your camera ready for sightings of polar bears, arctic foxes, snowy owls, and more. Enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch onboard, and return to town for an evening cultural talk from a local Churchill resident.
This morning, meet a Métis musher and his team of sled dogs for an exhilarating ride through the boreal forest. Hear fascinating stories about life in the North and the historic role of dog teams. Later, visit the Itsanitaq Museum, home to one of the world’s finest collections of Inuit carvings and artifacts.
Embark on your second Tundra Buggy adventure, giving you another opportunity to see and photograph polar bears in different light and conditions. In the afternoon, fly back to Winnipeg for your final night.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before departing for your flight home — taking with you incredible memories and perhaps a thousand polar bear photos.
