Seeing polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba in spring?

Observing polar bears in Churchill is kind of like going on safari – the odds of seeing the animals aren’t guaranteed, so your best bet is to catch them during periods of migration. While I’ve never been during April, I hear because it’s between mating and hibernation tour guides try not to disturb them in Wapusk.

Just so you do know, Wapusk is 2.5 hours away and only accessible by helicopter or snow buggy so you’re stuck going when the tours go. Wat’chee does tours in March (which sound cool because they’re also Aurora Borealis tours combined!), but I think they conclude mid-March. So I guess your decision isn’t really a decision if you’re there at the end of March or in April. So double check because Wapusk without a guide sounds miserable if you can even get there.

You could go snorkeling with Beluga whales in April though, Frontier (same company that does the fall polar bear tours) offers snorkeling. 🙂
