Our most ambitious adventure to date, our Caribou and Wolves Arctic Safari is a wildlife encounter second to none, with endless photo opportunities and experiences.

On this expedition you will be exploring vast areas of Canada's last remaining wilderness, from the Arctic "Serengeti" the great tundra plains known as The Barren Lands, through "The Land of Little Sticks" and finally down to the rugged Hudson Bay coastline, home of the Great White Bears.

Your travels will take you over 20,000 sq km’s of the wildest regions in the Arctic, home to wolves, caribou, moose, three species of bears (polar, black & grizzly), Arctic & colored fox, wolverine, beaver, pine marten and countless bird life all set ona kaleidoscope of spectacular fall colors.

If that is not enough try finding some energy to stay up for the finest light show on earth as we operate in the best Aurora viewing zone in the Arctic.

Best of all, there are no frozen fingers or seized camera gear to deal with which is typical if coming in the traditional winter months. Listening to the spine tingling thrill of a howling wolf pack, while mesmerized by the dancing Aurora, is life changing. This adventure will touch you like no other experience can. Of course it can't hurt that you have just finished a meal at our luxurious lodge and you're lounging outside by a camp fire sipping a glass of fine wine, watching the Northern Lights!

From our rugged cozy Caribou camp on Schmok Lake to the Arctic luxury of our lodge we will pamper you with the finest service, guides, accommodations, and cuisine found south of the Arctic Circle - truly the trip of a lifetime.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Winnipeg to Churchill
Arrive in Winnipeg before your 2:30pm Calm Air flight to Churchill, Manitoba. Your guide will meet you at the Churchill airport upon your arrival. You will be spending the night in this frontier town located on the shores of the Hudson Bay. You will have time to take in the town sites, shops, historical points of interest, and hopefully snap a few shots. You will be provided a $30.00 dinner voucher and a list of local restaurants are featured on page 26 of your Adventure Album (which will be provided to you pre-departure).

Day 2 - Off to the Lodge
This is it, the point of no return; you will leave Churchill this morning on the great Canadian bush plane, the deHaviland Beaver. It will wing your way north-west to the finest Arctic Eco Lodge on the planet, our polar bear viewing lodge. There will be endless visuals en-route, so keep those eyes open for polar bears, caribou and other wildlife. Arrive at the Lodge, meet your hosts, check into your private room, and prep that camera gear. Your guide will provide you with a brief orientation and it’s time to get out on the land!

Day 3 - 7 - Tundra Trekking, Hudson Bay Coastline, Tidal Flats, Arctic Ocean
In the coming days you will enjoy the wildness of this adventure. Breakfast will be served at 8:00am and lunches are typically held at the Lodge, dinner is served at 7:00pm. Meals may be delayed in favor of wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities! This adventure targets polar bears, possible grizzly and black bears, caribou, wolves, Arctic fox, migratory birdlife (millions!), and much more in a backdrop of spectacular fall colors. Your experienced guide is professional and knowledgeable about the land and the wildlife so be prepared to do some learning. A charter aircraft will be used to take you out for a day trip to encounter the migrating masses of Canadian Central Barren Ground caribou which number in the hundreds of thousands in our area.

Day 8 - Bid Farwell to the Lodge
Pack your bags for your trip back to reality. You will enjoy a hearty breakfast before your trip south today.
