White on white. At first, it’s just snow and sky — until a shape moves, and suddenly, the North reveals itself. This six-day journey to Churchill, Manitoba, offers more than front-row views of polar bears in the wild. It’s an invitation to experience the subarctic through multiple lenses: the ecological, the cultural, and the personal. Travel deep into the Churchill Wildlife Management Area aboard a Tundra Buggy®, hear stories rooted in Indigenous knowledge, and feel the thrill of a dog sled ride across frozen ground. Along the way, explore Churchill’s layered history — from ancient artifacts to modern-day conservation efforts.
For those who want more than a checklist, this is an adventure rich with meaning, memory, and the magic of the North.
