The town of Churchill, on the shores of Hudson Bay, is the polar bear capital of the world. Enjoy prime viewing from the comfort and safety of your tundra buggy.

The Inuit people of the Arctic call the polar bear Nanuk, meaning ‘Animal Worthy of Great Respect’. Others say ‘Titan of the Tundra’. Whatever you call it, awe is what you will feel upon first encountering this mighty animal. This is truly a once in a lifetime encounter.

British Columbia is home to one of the largest resident population killer whales in the world.

Whale watching

Few of nature’s spectacles can compare with the sight of a colossal whale breaching the waters off Canada’s coastlines. These waters are home to orcas, humpbacks, grey whales and minkes, as well as dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, otters and more. Whether off the coast of Newfoundland or British Columbia, wildlife watching on the water is one of our most popular trips.
