This exclusive 8-day expedition offers a front-row seat to the annual polar bear migration on the rugged coast of Hudson Bay. Guests travel by private charter over "Polar Bear Alley" to reach a remote cabin complex designed for intimate, ground-level wildlife viewing. The camp is protected by an unobtrusive electric fence, allowing polar bears to approach safely for unprecedented photography opportunities.

The journey is enriched by expert Inuit guides who lead tundra walks, providing ethical wildlife encounters and deep cultural storytelling. Beyond polar bears, the pristine landscape offers chances to spot Arctic foxes, Arctic hare, and gyrfalcon, as well as the spectacular aurora borealis. The adventure concludes with a 4x4 safari in Churchill and a traditional Indigenous culinary gathering inside a cozy yurt.

Highlights:
Unmatched ground-level polar bear viewing from a safe, remote cabin camp.
Scenic 50-minute private charter flight over Hudson Bay's "Polar Bear Alley".
Expert Inuit-led tundra walks for ethical wildlife encounters and cultural insights.
High probability of viewing the northern lights due to minimal light pollution.
