Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours Provide You With A Link To Life Itself

By Ines Flores


The world is full of interesting experiences. The Churchill Manitoba Polar Bear Tours are there for everyone who is interested in these beautiful creatures, to be able to observe them in their natural habitat. Their scientific name is Ursus Maritimus and they are meat eaters. They are the world's largest land carnivores and are very cute when young.

The male bear can weigh anything from three hundred and fifty to seven hundred kilograms whereas the female of the species is about half that size. Their sister specie is the brown bear but because of the environment they live in, they have had to adapt. Their litter are born on land but spend most of their time in the frigid waters on the lookout for their favourite meal, the seal.

The amount with airfare will be $3 285.00 per person and this includes the round trip from Churchill and Winnipeg. Without the airfare included it will set one back $2 185.00. This package includes a four night stay at the Lazy Bear Lodge as well as two nights in Winnipeg. The Hudson Bay tour will last about six to eight hours where all the wildlife can be observed.

The Tundra tour will last about four hours as well as a three hour boat drive to see the whales. There will be a stop off to see the Prince of Whales Fort as well as the culture and heritage of the town. Every morning one will enjoy a filling breakfast as well as a dinner entree of choice. There is also an option of having a helicopter tour, dog mushing as well as kayaking and snorkelling.

For those that prefer a quicker tour there is one with a two night stay over. This is specifically for those that cannot wait to go whale watching off the back of a boat. Watching these huge magnificent animals swimming alongside is sure to give anyone an awesome feeling. With airfare included it will only cost $1 499.00, it will be well worth it as this is not something everyone is able to witness in real life.

The Lazy Bear Lodge has cabins made out of black and white spruce with at least one feature of a twisted log. All the logs that are used to build the lodge are recycled from forest fire kill and many are one hundred and fifty years old. There are two stories with the first floor having sixteen rooms and the upper floor with seventeen rooms.

Each paw has small dermal bumps which help with the traction on the ice and scientists have found that bears prefer to use their right paw for digging. This came about when they found injured bears and patterns suggested that their forelimbs seemed to be injured mainly on the right. The teeth are larger and sharper then the brown bear and there are about forty two in total.

Churchill Polar Bear Tours are situated in a town where there are only a few human settlements around. This is a popular place where many from all over the world come to observe these amazing creatures. The best time to visit is between October and November when the bears move from their summer habitat to their hunting territory.
