Polar Bear Dreams

Experience nature first hand on this unique trek to the edge of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba to see polar bears in the wild. From the comfort of our Tundra Buggy (R), an all-terrain vehicle equipped like a modern railroad car, we ride over the tundra in search of the great white bears. Other Arctic wildlife will be seen such as fox, hare and many bird species. Dogsledding, sightseeing and lectures about the enviroment and the native peoples are included.

• See Polar Bears in their natural habitat - up close and personal.
  
• Dogsled across the tundra.
  
• Learn about the native peoples of the prairie and the tundra.
  
• Look for arctic fox, arctic hare, snowy owls, and bearded seals.
