Churchill, Manitoba
Churchill, Manitoba
Churchill, a small town of just under 1,000 residents, is located on the western shore of Hudson Bay. Some of the town's most famous inhabitants are polar bears, leading to its famous nickname, Polar Bear Capital of the World. Humans first arrived in Churchill around 1000 A.D. (the Thule Peoples), with the first Europeans arriving around the 1600s with promises of the fur trade. Churchill has now evolved from an industrial fur trading centre to an ecotourism-driven community.

Since 1979, the Tundra Buggy® Adventure company has been providing memorable polar bear tours at its Churchill location. Guests can experience great white polar bears up close and personal. Cameras are a must for this thrilling experience.
