ABOUT THIS REGION  WILDLIFE WATCHING

Polar bear and arctic wildlife viewing in Manitoba

This lodge, located along the Hudson Bay Coast, offers an up close opportunity to view Polar bears and other Arctic wildlife in their natural environment. Coastal ground tours will provide you with a personal connection to the raw and natural oceans edge before you. An open concept of travel through this environment provides for equally interesting adventure, as you traverse 35 km of established trails with All-Terrain-Vehicles. With no other lodges on the coast within 150 km, the sky line is unlimited. From July through August many sows with cubs are viewed, the ground is adrift with wild flowers and birds. Hundreds of Beluga Whales are seen on the water daily. Mid-September through October is a Nature Photographers 'dream come true'. Fall colors turn from green to yellow and crimson red, the goose berries are ripe purple and hanging heavy on the vine, the cranberries are scarlet red and the sky is full of hundreds of thousand of migrating birds. Do not forget to add a few Polar bears and the spectacular evening show the 'Northern Lights' or 'Aurora borealis'.

Polar bear and arctic wildlife viewing in Manitoba

This lodge is unique in that it offers polar bear and wildlife viewing in August and September, which means better weather, and you can see the stunning fall colours of the arctic tundra. The lodge is situated only a few hundred metres from the coast line and bears are often seen right up to the lodge's enclosed compound. The compound keeps guests, and bears safe. During the day you will venture out onto the tundra on guided tours to view the bears and other wildlife in their most natural setting.
