3 DAY ITINERARY
Day 1 - Arrive
Winnipeg / Fly
to Churchill
Early morning departure
from Winnipeg. You'll have some free time in Churchill before being transferred
to the Tundra Buggy® Launch mid afternoon. Board the Tundra Buggy® and begin the
trek to the Lodge, meandering along the tundra searching for wildlife as you go.
Arrive Tundra Buggy® Lodge for your first overnight stay.
Tundra Buggy® Lodge is a unique 'Lodge on Wheels'. The lodge consists of five
large, modular units on huge tires, linked together like a train with a
large-scale interior. The five units consist of two sleeping modules (complete
with shared bathrooms and shower facilities), a lounge, kitchen and dining unit
and a module which houses supplies and the camp's power station. Between each
unit and at each end are open-air platforms that provide safe viewing and
photographing areas. A safe haven from the bears and an excellent base for
wildlife observation, the warm and casual Tundra Buggy® Lodge provides more time
for viewing and photographing than any hotel-based trip. Imagine watching the
bears day and night, from inside or out. On clear nights at the Lodge, you seem
close enough to the stunning northern lights to reach out and touch them! While
situated near Gordon Point, a Tundra Buggy® is available for excursions into the
same observation areas that our other, hotel guests explore. In the evening,
relax and enjoy excellent meals and informal talks, slide shows (traditional and
digital), videos, and bear-lore in the lounge. The proximity and viewing of the
bears is exceptional, and the accommodations make even the barren tundra
comfortable.
OPTIONAL PRE & POST ACCOMMODATION:

Today is spent touring by
Tundra Buggy® to view Polar Bears. What is a Tundra
Buggy' Picture in front of you this huge wheeled - I
mean huge, like 5 feet high huge, wheeled vehicle. Sitting
on top of the wheels is this huge, I mean huge, wide-bodied
enclosure. The vehicle includes a propane heater, a toilet
facility and, for all intent and purposes, comfortable
seats, windows (that open) and a large observation deck.
Alas, now you have a Tundra Buggy® that allows you to go out
on the tundra, in relative comfort and safety to watch and
photograph polar bears.
