Holiday Overview
Churchill is a small, northern community with a lot of character. You won’t find one of the big-chain hotels here that you might find in a larger centre. You will, however, find warm, down-home hospitality and clean, comfortable hotels with all the amenities. Staying in town will allow you to walk to and from the different venues, spend some time on your own, and perhaps meet some of the locals. The Enthusiast Program is designed for those who wish to visit Churchill to not only see the magnificent Lord of the Arctic, Manitoba’s polar bears, but also to experience the history and culture of the region. Led by very knowledgeable guides, Enthusiast program itineraries include activities other than bear watching, such as a town and area tour, entrance to the Eskimo Museum and Parks Canada facility and a private cultural presentation. Dog sledding is included.
The perfect addition to any of our Canada itineraries!
