Fall in Churchill: Polar Bears, Culture, and Landscapes (September 2026 & 2027)

$500.00

Join Brooke Bartleson and Arthur Lefo on an unforgettable journey to Churchill, Manitoba, where polar bears await amidst a backdrop of fall colors. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian tundra as it transforms into a tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, creating a picturesque setting that complements the awe-inspiring presence of these great ursine legends. 

This carefully curated trip promises not only opportunities to search for iconic polar bears but is also a celebration of the region's history and unique tundra location. The crisp air and milder early fall temperatures provide the perfect conditions for exploration and offer the potential to see a diverse roster of other wildlife that call this region home. From beluga whales, to elusive foxes, to charismatic Arctic hare, the tundra comes alive with flora and fauna. This offers a comprehensive wildlife experience beyond the polar bear encounters during one of the quieter times of year in Churchill.

And the wonders don't end there – as the night falls, we'll keep a vigilant watch for the mesmerizing aurora borealis. The aurora is elusive, and her dance isn't always guaranteed, but the early fall timeframe offers us a chance to be graced by her nocturnal magic.

Estimated Pricing: $9,500-$10,000, $800 Optional Single Rooming Charge, $300 discount for payment via wire transfer

Estimated Dates: 6 days between September 15-30, 2027.

Please note that all initial online deposits are non-refundable.
