People Love Going On Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours

By Ines Flores


For those that live in Canada or anywhere else in the world a true experience that everyone should try and embark upon exists. The adventure in question, is one you will have when embarking upon Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours. It is a way to see these magnificent animals up close and to learn more about them. All of these tours are led by experienced guides.

The male bear can weigh anything from three hundred and fifty to seven hundred kilograms whereas the female of the species is about half that size. Their sister specie is the brown bear but because of the environment they live in, they have had to adapt. Their litter are born on land but spend most of their time in the frigid waters on the lookout for their favourite meal, the seal.

Over the decades these magnificent creatures have been hunted and their numbers have declined. In the last few years there have been strict control over the hunting and slowly the population has increased once more. For many arctic people these bears have and will always remain very important to their way of life.

The climate there has long and cold winters while the summers are short and mild to cool. It is described as subarctic or boreal. The winds that come from the North Pole are always felt blowing across the bay which is frozen in winter. With the chill factor the temperatures can reach to minus twenty six. During the fleeting summer months the temperature can reach a high of twenty two degrees Celsius.

For those that prefer a quicker tour there is one with a two night stay over. This is specifically for those that cannot wait to go whale watching off the back of a boat. Watching these huge magnificent animals swimming alongside is sure to give anyone an awesome feeling. With airfare included it will only cost $1 499.00, it will be well worth it as this is not something everyone is able to witness in real life.

The difference between the polar bear and its closest relative the brown bear is that the former has a more lengthened build and a longer nose and skull. Their ears and tails are smaller and the legs seem to be thicker. Their feet are much larger as they have to walk on ice and use them as paddles while swimming. The claws are also defined as being shorter and have a scooped underside to help with the digging.

All the rooms are the same with two double beds and they are very cosy and warm. The cafe is open to the public and anyone is welcome. They have sirloin steak, caribou pepper steak as well as a speckled trout and Greenland cod. All are Indigenous to the area of Churchill and surrounding areas.

Churchill Polar Bear Tours are situated in a town where there are only a few human settlements around. This is a popular place where many from all over the world come to observe these amazing creatures. The best time to visit is between October and November when the bears move from their summer habitat to their hunting territory.
