Great Ice Bear

“This was an incredible experience that exceeded our expectations. As Canadians we felt privileged to see these magnificent animals up close in their own backyard and learn so much about them and the way of life in this part of the country. The group size of 16 was perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting thanks to great hosts, staff and food and comfortable accommodation.”

“What an experience, everything we hoped for and more. The Churchill Wild team are brilliant, from kitting us out with superb winter gear, providing superb meals and great trails to actually walking with polar bears. For those less active the bears even came around our compound and peered in at us, so we were in the zoo! It was fantastic to watch the bears in their natural state, especially the mother and cub we were so lucky to see a couple of days. The guides are true experts and passionate about what they do, as evidenced in their evening talks. Limiting the group size to 16 meant that no one was left out or jostling for position. Our group was very diverse in age and nationality, but we bonded well. Our experience was even more unique as we were storm bound for an extra two days! Fine for us as we had more time with the bears! The Churchill Wild team were great in rearranging flights, hotels, etc. back to Winnipeg, and also keeping us well fed and entertained. We can't thank them enough for giving us this tremendous insight into life in the arctic, well done all!”

“My vacations are always adventurous. Visiting this lodge with a small group of special people, seeing the northern lights and sharing in the life of the polar bears near the Arctic Circle so close and on their turf was a dream of mine! Every day knowledgeable and experienced guides took us out hiking to the Hudson Bay to point out polar bears (male, female and cubs), ptarmigan, red fox, and a snowy owl! The staff at the lodge made sure we had warm clean lodging with great food every meal, including beverages at happy hour! I recommend Dymond Lake Lodge and Churchill Wild without hesitation! It was an unforgettable experience!”
