Budget Polar bear tour Churchill Traveller Reviews

This was our fourth trip organised by Allan at Wildlife Trails and once again didn't disappoint. We had a great start to the trip with a visit to Ridings Mountain National Park. Whilst late in the season our group still managed great viewings of Bison, Black Bear and Beaver. Then onto Churchill for the highlight of the trip. We had fantastic sightings of the Polar Bears coming down to the ice with over 90 bears spotted in the six days, many very close to the vehicles including mothers with cubs. We were also treated to amazing views of sparring polar bears. Wildlife Trails also organised some Road & Trails excursions for us and again a fantastic experience. Our guide, Gerald, with his indigenous heritage was brilliant. His love and appreciation of the countryside and wildlife was exceptional as was his ability to spot wildlife. He enabled us to have great opportunities to see not just polar bears but also ptarmigan, cross and red foxes and snowy owl. All in all this trip exceeded our expectations and we'd recommend it to anyone.

Allan & his staff at Wildlife Trails once again proved they can organise a memorable holiday. Everything went smoothly and we particularly like the fact that they support for the local community as much as they can. We're looking forward to our next wildlfe adventure with them.

Allan Blanchard from Wildlife Trails organised a holiday for myself and a friend to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada to see Polars Bears. All the flights connections were spot on, arrived at Winnipeg as per itinerary, had a night in the hotel there, all good, got to the railway station in good time to get the 2day trip to Churchill. The train was very comfortable, food fairly good, enjoyed the experience very much. Got a taxi to the blue sky B&B, where we had 7 nights, had been there before 3yrs ago, everything was excellent, food and accomodation very high standard, and Jennifor and Gerald really looked after us very well. Had 2 great day trips on the Tundra Buggy, where we saw 45 bears, mum and cubs, bears play fighting, some up really close to the buggy. Had a good tour with North star, managed to see polar bears up very close to the bus, and we also had 2 and half days with Nature 1st, who took us all around the churchill area to try and spot bears which we were very successful with about 8 bears in total. People/drivers all excellent, very knowledgeable, and we had a great time with all the people involved in our holiday. Everything went very well, Wildlife trails did a fanastic holiday for us, and we were lucky to see a total of 62 bears, including a bear lift from the polar bear jail of a mum and 2yrs old cub. it was great. thank you to all concerned for giving me and my friend such a fanastic time.

Have been with Allan and Kirsty Blanchard for many years, as they do all my wildlife holidays of which there as been many. Every time it is always great, arrangements as they should be, people who should be meeting me are always there so although I travel alone quite a bit, I feel very safe with Allan and Wildlife Trails organising the trip as things are all in place and I have no need to worry about anything First Class Tour Operator.
