O U R ORIGINAL JOURNEY
Va l u e
go in search of these amazing creatures. In late summer, the polar bears are a bit lazy, gathering on the shore and giving us an amazing opportunity to watch as they lumber among the rocks and wildflowers. Often, we’ll also see them swimming in the bay.
Tonight, we’ve made private arrangements for our guests to meet with Gerald Azure. Moving to Churchill from rural Manitoba more than 15 years ago, Gerald found a warm welcome where he could establish his own dog-sledding business while retaining his Métis culture and heritage. meals b+l
DAY 4 | Beluga whale watching
Set out in our maneuverable Zodiacs, to explore the Churchill River and Hudson Bay. In summer, up to 60,000 beluga whales come here to feed, mate, and raise their young. Belugas are intelligent and curious, and they will often swim surprisingly close – as if to investigate our boats and their 2-legged passengers! You’ll also step ashore for a tour of the Prince of Wales Fort,built by the Hudson Bay Company in the 1700’s.
After our Zodiac expedition, A+R guests will have a chance to get even closer to
the beluga whales with their choice of an included snorkeling or kayaking adventure.
Later today, join other guests for a Dog Carting adventure. Riding behind a team of energetic sled dogs is a terrific way to appreciate the beauty of the countryside and to experience a slice of Manitoba life. meals b+l
