Days 1 & 2: Winnipeg – Churchill
Arrive in Winnipeg and make your own way to the rail station in time for a 7:00pm check-in for the Hudson Bay train to Churchill. The train departs at 8:30pm and your main luggage will be checked through to Churchill, so remember to pack a carry-on bag for the next two evenings. Over the next two days you will travel through farm lands and pass boreal forest and lakes as well as stopping at a few small communities along the way. A pre-tour night is required in Winnipeg. Full details on request. (BLD on day 2)

Day 3: Arrive Churchill
Your train journey comes to an end in Churchill where you will be transferred to your hotel (your luggage will be sent separately). On arrival you will immediately depart on a four-hour tour of the town and surrounding area. We suggest you dress warmly as there will be opportunities to get off the bus to take photos. There will be time to have lunch (not included) before your visit to the Eskimo Museum, which has a very fine collection of Inuit artefacts. (B)

Day 4: Polar Bear Viewing
Today is the real highlight of your trip. This area is directly in the path of the annual autumnal migration of polar bears, just prior to the freeze up of the Hudson Bay. A full day is spent on a Tundra Buggy to view these extraordinary animals. Tonight enjoy a slide presentation by a local professional photographer, which will take you through Churchill's four beautiful seasons. (L)
