Enrichment Program More info about this activity
Expedition cruising must be one of the most incredible ways of travelling. Not only for the amazing places you visit and the unforgetable wildlife but for the wildlife, the sensory overload and the unimaginable memories.
But all of this needs a context in order to understand where you are and what you are experiencing.
On board your expedition vessell you will find a group of experts, naturalists, zodiac drivers and guides that that will translate the language of nature for you, telling you the stories of the places you are visiting, reviewing the historical, biological, ecological and geological aspects of your trips.
You will experience first hand what surrounds you and arrive back home wiser and loaded with new knowledge.
Zodiac cruising More info about this activity
On board the Zodiac you will discover a world of possibilities; accessing the most exclusive landing sites, cruising the coast in search of wildlife or simply enjoying a tour in the calm of the polar regions in search of marine wildlife or bird colonies.
The blue ice an its intimate presence is experienced at its best on zodiac tours.
It is not uncommon to meet curious seals, or humpback whales feeding.
Dog Sled More info about this activity
Enjoy, participate or view a true Dog Sled and the Mushers on the spot! Believe it or not, this dog are at their happiest moments when they are racing or traversing in the wild.
Sometimes the activity just consists on a Kennel visit and guided tour.
Charter Flights More info about this activity
In departures with charter flights, part of the air transport segment is covered by the operation of the trip as part of the itinerary.
Check in the inclusions and exclusions of the program which air sections are included in your itinerary.
Hiking More info about this activity
Hiking options include very easy beach hikes (good for photographers who need time for photography), easier short hikes, medium-difficulty extended hikes, and more challenging long hikes.
Boat Excursions More info about this activity
One of the most popular and effective ways to tour around those places that by land are inaccesible, and in the process enjoy the wildlife of the place.
All Terrain Excursions More info about this activity
Jump on an excursion off the beaten track on specially designed and guided vehicles, or do it by yourself with a GPS, depending on the location you are. A great way to get deeper into the wild.
Helicopter Tours More info about this activity
To access certain colonies, especially Emperor penguin, this type of transport is essential. Enjoy also scenic flights, watching the majestic ice barriers or the tabular icebergs from the air. A unique experience only available with few operators and exceptional itineraries.
Helicopter operations can be influenced by a lot of factors, such as but not limited to weather, sea and sea-ice conditions, flying time/distance restrictions and visibility.
Watch in awe as these "canaries of the sea" migrate to the warm, shallow waters to give birth and feed on fish. Experience these majestic creatures from various vantage points, as you will have the opportunity to see them from a large tour boat and an intimate Zodiac where you can witness their playful behavior and curious spirit.
While on land, enjoy the seemingly endless view as the surrounding tundra landscape erupts into colourful summer blooms alongside the Hudson Bay. Experience a dog carting excursion with a professional musher through the colourful boreal forest and explore the Churchill Wildlife Management Area by Tundra Buggy in search of northern wildlife. You might even have the opportunity to see the first of the summer polar bears as they begin to return to from the sea ice throughout the summer months.
Interpretive-Guided: Our most well-rounded adventures, these tours include lodging and transportation with a mix of cultural and wildlife or northern lights viewing activities built in. Interpretive-guided tours are medium-capacity, escorted departures so you can sit back and relax while we take care of all the details.

Day 1: Welcome to Winnipeg
My adventure begins in Winnipeg, Frontiers North's gateway to their Churchill adventures.
After checking into my hotel, I meet with the rest of the tour group and our Frontiers North Interpretive Guide. Our first order of business is a journey of discovery through the beautiful city of Winnipeg.
Meals: Dinner
Day 2: Churchill Adventure Begins
We tour Manitoba's largest city by bus, with stops at the infamous Manitoba Legislative Building, the historical Exchange District, a visit to St. Boniface - a charming French-speaking community in the heart of the city - and a stop at The Forks, Winnipeg's most celebrated public space and the spot where the Assiniboine River and Red River meet.
In the evening our guide hosted a welcome dinner for our tour group so that we could get to know our fellow travelers better and learn more about our upcoming adventure into the north.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Beluga Whales, Prince of Wales Fort and Dog Carting
Our second day starts off with an early morning flight to Churchill. The two-hour flight takes us from the prairies of central Manitoba, over boreal forest and finally to the colourful tundra of Churchill.
Upon landing, we set out on a Churchill and area tour to explore the area surrounding the town of Churchill. Our Interpretive Guide teaches us all about the historical significance of the places we visit: Cape Merry; the site of a crashed airplane affectionately known by locals as Miss Piggy, and Manitoba Conservation's Polar Bear Holding Facility (aka the Polar Bear Jail). We even had time to stop to enjoy a walk along the coast of the Hudson Bay bring your bug spray!
After lunch our group also spends time visiting the Parks Canada Visitor Centre. After a busy first day in Churchill, our group enjoys dinner at a wonderful little family-run restaurant.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4: Tundra Buggy Adventure
Today we get to go on a Tundra Buggy adventure into the vast and colourful Churchill Wildlife Management Area! In the morning we hop on a Tundra Buggy and head out onto the tundra in search of summer polar bears, arctic foxes, hares, and more types of plants and flowers than you can imagine growing in the North!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5: Beluga Whale Zodiac Tour
Sadly, it's our last day in Churchill. But before we leave we get to go out onto the Churchill River again! We start our day with a Zodiac boat tour on the Churchill River, zipping up and down the river looking for pods of curious whales. They follow us so closely and seem to love the bubbles coming from the Zodiac!
In the afternoon our group has some free time to explore Churchill's gift shops and local tourist sights. We of course had to take our picture in front of the Inukshuk on the coast of Hudson's Bay! Then it's back to the airport for our return flight to Winnipeg, where the group checks back into our hotel for a good night's rest - a perfect time to go over the thousands of pictures I took!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6: Depart Winnipeg
My Churchill adventure is over and I'm heading home but I have a lot of wonderful photos to show my friends and family!
