Churchill

Polar Bears in their natural habitat.

Beluga Whales during the summer months in the Hudson Bay and Churchill River. There are a couple of tour operators who take small groups out in boats for a couple of hours to watch the whales. You can even rent a wetsuit and swim with the whales if the weather permits. The summer is also a fabulous time to go bird watching in Churchill.

Late November through late March is the perfect time to watch the Northern Lights. November is also one of the best times to see the world-famous Churchill polar bears.

WARNING: Don't go wandering outside of Churchill on your own. Polar bears are extremely dangerous, especially during the summer months when food is scarce. Talk to locals for advice before going outside of the town.Always keep a safe distance between you and them.
