Do you have tours that see both the northern lights and polar bears?

Although it is possible to see the northern lights in October and November, due to the season's shift from autumn to winter, there is usually a lot of cloud cover over Hudson Bay. Any aurora sightings in October and November are more of a bonus than a guarantee; We do not provide any tours in October and November due to the uncertainty of aurora viewing at this time. February and March are ideal months to observe the northern lights as it is extremely cold and the sky is quite clear.

What opportunities are available for photography during the tour?

The tour includes dedicated northern lights viewing and photography sessions over multiple nights, facilitated by a Photo Specialist.

What measures are in place for emergency situations during the tour?

The tour is equipped with emergency communication devices, and guides are trained in first aid and emergency response, ensuring safety and quick action if needed.

Is there a provision for experiencing the local culture?

By day, the tour features various cultural experiences including a snowshoeing adventure, dog sled ride, and visits to local museums such as the Itsanitaq Museum.

What are the arrangements if weather conditions prohibit scheduled activities?

The tour is designed with flexibility to accommodate weather changes, ensuring that participants can experience most planned activities. In case of extreme weather, indoor activities and sessions are organized.

Is outdoor clothing available to rent, What are dining options in Churchill, What photography advising is available

Rental options for outdoor winter clothing are available. We offer Canada Goose parkas and snow pants, and Baffin boots through our Gear Rental Program. In Churchill, guests have access to unique dining experiences, including the exclusive Dan's Diner, which offers regional cuisine and a chance to dine beneath the northern lights. Other options include the Tundra Pub and at the Ptarmigan. The tour includes a Photo Specialist guide to assist with camera settings and photography techniques, with several opportunities for guided northern lights photography.

How is the likelihood of seeing the northern lights addressed in the tour?

Seeing the northern lights is highly likely as the tour is situated beneath the auroral oval, providing approximately 300 nights of aurora activity annually, especially during the optimal viewing months of February and March.

What kind of support and guidance is provided during the Northern Lights tour?

The tour is fully guided each day by experienced professionals including a Photo Specialist for photography-related activities and an Interpretive Guide for general guidance.

Are there any clothing recommendations for the tour considering the extreme weather?

It is recommended to dress in layers to manage comfort during the tour. Heavy parkas, snow pants, and boots can be rented as part of the tour's Gear Rental Program.

What is included in the Northern Lights tour package?

The Northern Lights tour includes roundtrip airfare from Winnipeg to Churchill, accommodations for several nights, a remote culinary experience at Dan’s Diner, multiple northern lights viewing and photography sessions, a boreal forest excursion, dog sledding, snowshoe trek, and comprehensive guided tours including the Manitoba Museum, Planetarium, Itsanitaq Museum, and other cultural sites.
