Choose from a selection of hot, artisanal classics—including farm-fresh eggs and crisp smoked bacon—or a curated spread of chilled fruits, yogurts, and local preserves. As you sip your coffee, remain vigilant; the Lodge's panoramic glass walls ensure that your first polar bear encounter of the day could happen before you’ve finished your first cup.

08:00 | Unrivalled Tundra Exploration

Board your Tundra Buggy® for a deep-immersion journey into the heart of the Churchill Wildlife Management Area. As a Lodge guest, you hold the ultimate advantage: eight full and a half hours on the tundra, an extended window of observation that far exceeds others as you don't have to head back towards town at the end of the day. This is an elite opportunity to witness the majesty of polar bears and subarctic wildlife in a more intimate setting.

12:00 | Lunch out on the tundra

Enjoy a variety of lunches throughout your Tundra Buggy Adventure days. Tundra Buggy Lodge guests get a variety of hot lunches that can range from Perogies and salad, lasagna, sandwiches and soups.  As you enjoy your lunch on the Tundra Buggy be sure to watch through the window to continue observing polar bears. 

16:30 | The Après-Tundra Social

Return to the Lodge to unwind in refined comfort. As the afternoon light shifts across the ice, indulge in a selection of hors d'oeuvres and appetizers handcrafted by our culinary team. Even as you relax with a drink in hand, the wildlife viewing continues—polar bears are frequently wandering past  the Lodge, providing intimate viewing opportunities exclusive to Lodge guests. 

18:00 | A Curated Culinary Experience

Dinner is an elegant, three-course affair designed to showcase the flavours of the North. Dine against a backdrop of floor-to-ceiling windows, where the vast, darkening tundra serves as your living wallpaper. It is not uncommon for a curious polar bear to wander past the glass, offering a breathtaking dinner companion unlike any in the world.

19:30 | Private Briefing with Polar Bears International

Deepen your expertise with an exclusive presentation from a Polar Bears International research scientist. This private session offers a rare look into the biology and conservation of this iconic species from experts. While you immerse yourself in the science, keep a casual eye on the horizon—polar bears the subjects of the lecture are often right outside on the tundra. 

21:00 | Celestial Observations

Ascend to the rooftop observation deck for a moment of profound tundra silence. Beneath one of the world's most pristine night skies, you may be treated to a private showing of the aurora borealis. Scan the moonlit tundra below; polar bears are still active in the cool of the night, their silhouettes moving ghost-like across the tundra. 

21:30 | Rest in the Heart of the Wild

Retreat to your private berth for a night of cozy seclusion. Before the the tundra lulls you to sleep, peek out your bed window for one final check. In this world, the last image you see before you dream could be a polar bear standing guard just inches from your window.

Notice how polar bears are included in every moment of a stay at the Tundra Buggy Lodge!
