Trips begin at $8,295–10,395 per person based on the season and double occupancy. Prices include round-trip flights to and from Winnipeg and Churchill — which can be quite pricey on its own — all meals, beverages, accommodations and several excursions. Head out on a dog sledding excursion with the family and enjoy the use of cold-weather gear, assistance from excursion professionals and entrance fees on most daytrip adventures.

 

Prime wildlife viewing can be achieved each fall from October–November, when polar bears migrate to Hudson Bay to hunt.
