One Day Polar Bear Tour
by D & A Makowski
(Canada)
Went on a one-day polar bear tour in Churchill, Manitoba. Didn't want to spend more than one day and I found an operator out of Calgary Alberta that featured one day trips. I'm pretty sure this is the only company offering one day tours which is perfect for the baby boomer.
The day started off at the airport arriving at 6:30 am (early) but very good for getting a whole days worth.
We arrived in Churchill Manitoba at about 9:30 (local time) am. Got airport transfers to the tundra buggy launch pad... boarded the tundra buggy and we were off no later than 10am.
We got about 5 hours on the buggy and saw LOTS of bears and other animals. It was very interesting. Lunch was served on the buggy. We got breakfast and dinner on the plane.
Would do this tour again in a heart beat.
The travel agency is Classic Canadian Tours.
