Churchill Adventure Day Tour

Yes, you will be served breakfast on the airplane, lunch at the Ptarmigan restaurant in town, and a supper banquet served at the Churchill community centre. We recommend packing snacks.

In Churchill at this time of year, temperature can vary from -2˚C to -13˚C, but often strong winds can push the temperature down several more degrees (the ‘windchill’ factor). See our packing list for tips on what to wear to stay warm on the tour. We recommend checking the weather forecast in the days leading up to the tour so you can be well prepared.

If you have any food allergies and/or special dietary meal requirements, please be sure to update your passenger information and we will pass your requirements along to our catering team. To update this information, head to your booking confirmation email and click ‘Manage my Booking.’

We will join Dave Daley and his team for an educational talk about Dog Sledding, Métis Culture and life in Churchill Manitoba followed by an exhilarating dog sled ride through the boreal forest!

Dress for the weather, including a warm jacket, snow pants, and insulated winter boots. Plus, a warm toque, neck warmer, and gloves.

We will be dog sledding in polar bear country, so seeing a bear on the trail is not uncommon. Wapusk Adventures has procedures in place, as well as bear guards, to ensure our safety.

This day includes a lot of hopping on and off of airplanes and buses, plus there is some walking involved to explore the sights. The dog sledding is accessible, and there is an option to sit during the ride.

It is peak polar bear season in Churchill during the Fall, but if you want to see the bears, we recommend our 1-Day Polar Bear Safari. During this Churchill Town tour, we will be travelling back roads around Churchill, so we may encounter polar bears, arctic foxes, or other wildlife, but the focus of this tour is to see the sights of Churchill.

Visitors are not permitted inside the facility; however, we will have the opportunity to step out and take photos in front of the building, which features a beautiful polar bear mural. Our guides will also share insights about the facility and explain how it plays an important role in keeping both polar bears and the local community safe.

We charter a private jet for the flights to and from Churchill so you will check-in upon arrival at a private terminal at the YYC airport.

If you are booked on the tour, you will receive an Expedition Package 30 days prior to departure which will share directions to the terminal and a map for free parking. If you do not receive the Expedition Package, please reach out to us at info@classiccanadiantours.com.

Classic Canadian Tours does not provide travel insurance. If you would like to purchase travel insurance we suggest that you first check with your credit card company, as it may be offered on purchases made with your credit card. Travel insurance may also be purchased through your car or home insurance provider or through a travel insurance company, such as Travel Guard. Trip cancellation and interruption insurance will ensure that you are covered in the event that you are not able to make the trip for a personal reason, such as illness or if your trip is interrupted for an unforeseen reason, such as weather. Travel medical insurance, will pay the upfront costs not covered by Provincial Healthcare, such as evacuation, if you do not have extended health benefits. Only your insurance provider will be able to let you know your exact coverage.
