Up North and Personal… Belugas & Bears…Revealing the Austere Awesomeness of the Tundra!

Immerse yourself in the majesty of the untamed wilderness of Canada’s Great White North.

Few people know about the wonders of Churchill, Manitoba, and even fewer have had the pleasure of visiting. But those who have made the journey have experienced a world virtually untouched by human hands.

One’s first impression of Churchill is…wow…this is truly a modern-day frontier town…stark, utilitarian, and hardscrabble with many of the roads unpaved. Then it happens…you begin to see beyond the starkness to the true beauty of the people, the land, and of course the wildlife. This is what you come here for…not five-star amenities, but truly getting back to remote, raw nature.

With 60,000 Beluga Whales filling the Hudson Bay and Polar Bears leaving the melting sea ice, summer is an amazing time to visit Churchill.  You come for the Polar Bears but fall in love with the Belugas, which is amazing as summertime offers a more expansive experience, and sightings of polar bears can be more remote. During the summer the polar bears could be swimming in Hudson Bay alongside our boat or be farther inland visible from a distance.

Then there is the land and the flora. What you don’t expect during the summer is the explosion of colour. The magnificent orange lichen against the brilliant purple of the fireweed is spectacular.

Immerse yourself in the majesty of the untamed wilderness of Canada’s Great White North.

Truly a Life-Changing Tundra Adventure!

Lazy Bear Lodge

Lazy Bear Lodge is an authentic northern wonder!

This is no regular log cabin. The timber was reclaimed from a fire in the boreal forest. Using hand tools, the logs fit together so well as to appear as if they were melted into each other. The windows were recycled from an 1800’s Hudson Bay Trading Post, and if you look closely, you’ll see the characteristic wave of the old glass.

Feel the warmth of the massive stone fireplace, crafted from a 20,000 pound block of stone and mortar. Even the floor came from recycled Douglas Fir from the Canadian National Railway warehouse built in the early 1920’s.

National Geographic Traveler magazine has selected Lazy Bear Lodge as one of its top hotels. The Lazy Bear Lodge is as unique an adventure as the expeditions you choose.

Lazy Bear Lodge Ltd. also has a strong commitment to preserve and protect the magnificent habitats of the arctic wildlife. They are committed to Social & sustainable responsibility.
