Five More Ways to See Polar Bears in Churchill, Autumn 2027
Beyond the flagship photography departure, Frontiers North offers five polar bear lines for October and November 2027, all departing from Winnipeg. The Classic Churchill Polar Bear Adventure runs 19 departures at CAD 10,597 per person plus tax, with 3 nights in Churchill town and 2 Tundra Buggy excursions. Its By Train version adds a one way rail journey and 2 nights on the train at CAD 12,527. Subarctic Discovery is the entry point at CAD 8,927, with 2 nights in town and 2 buggy excursions. Tundra Buggy Lodge: Town and Polar Bears combines 1 night in town with 3 nights at the lodge and 3 buggy excursions at CAD 16,927. Conservation Journey: Polar Bears follows the same lodge pattern with a conservation researcher joining the interpretive guide, and part of the proceeds supports Polar Bears International, at CAD 17,927. Sightings are never guaranteed. Bears are wild animals, and what each line guarantees is its dates, accommodation, excursion count and guiding, nothing more.
