Ready for a wild Churchill Wild Arctic adventure? Hop into a Zodiac and journey with us to the mouth of the Seal River, where some of the most curious creatures in the Arctic—beluga whales—are waiting to meet you! These friendly white whales love to come right up to the boat, creating unforgettable beluga whale watching moments that are sure to make you smile.

And here’s the best part: with our hydrophones, you won’t just see the belugas—you’ll hear them too. Their songs fill the water with a symphony you’ll never forget, adding a magical layer to the experience. If singing with belugas and soaking up the beauty of Hudson Bay wildlife sounds like your kind of adventure, check out our ‘Birds, Bears & Belugas‘ safari. And for a taste of our wilderness encounters, explore our 360 Virtual Polar Bear Tours for a front row experience.

Captured at Seal River Heritage Lodge, this encounter showcases how every Churchill Wild polar bear experience is unique. Some days, the polar bears pass by from a few hundred meters away, while other times, like in this special moment, a curious bear decides to come closer. While we never approach closer than 100 meters, sometimes the bears close that distance themselves.

For 10 unforgettable minutes, this polar bear lay in front of our group, watching us closely and catching our scent before calmly moving on.

Safety is always at the core of what we do. Whether you’re with us on the ground or experiencing our 360 Virtual Polar Bear Tours, learn more about how we ensure respectful and secure interactions with polar bears here.

Join us on an unforgettable Arctic journey to Schmok Lake, a hidden gem in the remote Barren Lands near the Nunavut border. As part of Churchill Wild’s exclusive Arctic Safari, you’ll spend two nights at Caribou Tundra Camp, a cozy heated tent camp nestled in the autumn-kissed hills. Hike through untouched wilderness where fewer people have walked than on Mount Everest, and follow the ancient trails of the Pallermiut Inuit in search of the elusive Qamanirjuaq caribou herd.

Your adventure will be filled with exciting activities: pick wild blueberries, try your hand at trout fishing, or even take a daring polar plunge in the crystal-clear waters of Schmok Lake. In the evenings, gather by a crackling fire for sundowners under the Arctic sky, with the chance to witness a stunning display of the northern lights.

Photographers of all levels will enjoy the guidance of National Geographic photographer Jad Davenport, who will share his expertise in capturing Arctic landscapes and wildlife—even with your smartphone! Explore the breathtaking scenery of rolling ridges, dwarf forests, and glistening lakes on foot, all while soaking in the rare opportunity to connect with nature in one of the world’s last great wildernesses.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience is limited to just a few guests each year, making it an exclusive chance to unplug, rejuvenate, and reconnect with the wild.
