Polar bear watching in Churchill


Best time to go polar bear watching in Churchill
The Seal and Churchill Rivers are the summer hangout of polar bears making for a very different bear viewing experience, but combined with beluga whales and extraordinary birdlife, is a wildlife winner. You can see polar bears in the Arctic regions of Svalbard/Spitsbergen and Greenland but these are trips that take place on the water, and you don’t get a chance to be as up close and personal there. On Churchill trips you feel as if you are part of the picnic. Albeit safely tucked inside bear proof tundra buggies, otherwise you would be.

If you go to Churchill to see polar bears in July and August, you will be able to combine it with some beluga whale watching and also some binocular at the ready bird watching frenzies too. Because there are at least a hundred species of birds to be seen here in summer, such as ptarmigan, Smith's longspur, and jaegers.Beluga whales are also a sight to behold at this time, as they gather in Hudson Bay with not only tourists ready to pounce with their cameras, but polar bears sometimes perched on rocks ready to take a shot at supper too. And whatever your mission, it certainly is something to feast your eyes on, with over 57,000 belugas basking and brooding in the Arctic waters at this time. Brave tourists can even don dry suits and go swimming with them, when supervised by responsible whale watching experts, of course. But although summer day are long, don’t assume they are warm; temperatures only stop being sub-zero between late May and early September – with the warmest months of June and July scraping (barely) into double figures.
