Tour Information
Your journey of exploration and adventure will take place at Dymond Lake Polar Bear Eco Lodge. The lodges are the first and only fly-in eco lodges on the Husdon Bay coast north of Churchill. This dynamic seaport has long been known as the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’ as approximately 1,200 of these enormous bears congregate on the Hudson Bay come fall in wait for the freeze. You’ll meet several of these animals up-close and on their turf on your Great Ice Bear adventure at the Eco Lodge and/or on your Tundra Buggy Adventure.
Day 1
Fly from the UK-Winnipeg. Arrive in Winnipeg where you will enjoy a relaxing stay at your hotel. You’ll need your rest for your early morning departure to Churchill.
Day 2
Arrive in Churchill by air where a tour representative will meet you at the airport and will provide you with an orientation to the tour including a clothing check. You will then be transferred by helicopter or fixed wing aircraft to Dymond Lake Lodge at approximately 11:30 a.m. This exciting flight takes you out over the historic Churchill River, and then northwest up the rugged Hudson Bay coast to Canada’s most exclusive Polar Bear viewing properties. Keep a sharp eye out en route for caribou, moose, seals, wolves and of course the great Ice Bears.
Upon your arrival, your hosts Mike and Jeanne Reimer and their children, a true (and thus rare) Churchillian family, will provide a tour of the Lodge and get you settled into your room. A thorough orientation on travel in polar bear country will be provided prior to any outings. This day includes a guided hike on our rugged and starkly beautiful coastline, an interpretive slide show featuring the wildlife of Hudson Bay, and hopefully a clear night for viewing the Aurora Borealis. Dymond Lake has a northern lights viewing dome where you can view the best show of lights you will see. All this will be topped off with a gourmet lunch and dinner where your hosts and guides will regale you with tales of life and adventures in Canada’s Arctic. We will also have local presenters on hand to provide guests an insight into the local cultures and traditions.
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
Day 3-4
In the coming days, your gourmet breakfast will be served at 8:00 a.m. and the first walking tour generally leaves at 9:30 a.m. Should there be a polar bear in camp (this happens frequently!), the walking tour is delayed for picture taking but no one ever seems to mind! Once you’ve fueled up with one of Jeanne’s legendary full course breakfasts, you’ll be eager to bundle up and head out into the snow. The walks are comfortably paced as they are geared towards plenty of viewing and photo opportunities. They are guided by our professional and knowledgeable tour leaders and so you’ll do a lot of learning along the way as well. Obviously we cannot allow the bears to approach too closely, and your guides are expert in keeping bears at a safe distance without sacrificing exciting viewing. Dymond Lake Eco Lodge is the only remote lodge in the world where you an experience the spectacular wild of the boreal forest, remote tundra, and the arctic sea ice all in the same day!
Polar bears are also known to saunter by our Lodge on a regular basis so you can often view them from the warmth and comfort of one of our lounges through the massive picture windows. This opportunity is all too welcome when a squall blows in! There are a variety of other activities to take part in as well should the weather prevent you from exploring the outdoors though such is rarely the case. Weather permitting lunches will be had in the field. Generally by 4:00 p.m. you are back at the Lodge for hot or cold drinks and appetizers. Your full course delectable dinners are served at 7:00 p.m. after which, the fireplace is almost always central. Your guide team will give informative lectures and beautiful slide presentations as well as initiate a discussion about the activities for the following day. The entire Lodge area is patrolled for polar bears all night by one of the night watchmen so be prepared to have your sleep cut short by a nocturnal visit by one of the great Ice Bears (or by one of our dazzling displays of northern lights!).
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5
After another hearty breakfast and it is time to pack for the flight back to Churchill, say good-byes and snap a few more pictures! After another exciting aerial tour, you’ll arrive in Churchill and will be escorted to your overnight accommodations (hotel or B&B) to check in. You are then free to explore and wine & dine in this frontier community at your leisure. Local places such as Cape Merry, the Eskimo Museum, the Polar Bear Holding Compound (otherwise known as the Polar Bear Jail), as well as the Parks Canada exhibit are all of great interest. Dogsledding and helicopter charters fit nicely into this afternoon if you’re so inclined. You will have your choice of Churchill’s restaurants for dinner and will receive a $25 voucher per person. Then it will be back to your hotel/B&B so you can rest up for your 6th and final day with the bears.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 6
Today you will travel across the tundra in the world famous Tundra Buggies ® for more polar bear viewing. Transportation by bus to and from the Tundra Buggies ® is provided at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. respectively so do remember to grab some breakfast beforehand.
