Getting There : Fly from Winnipeg to Churchill on a chartered flight (organized by Frontiers North) If you have time on your hands, there’s a slow train from Winnipeg to Churchill as well.

Note from Robin : Since you’ll be spending most of your time on board the heated lodge, you only need two outfits: Something extra warm and something extra comfy. Pack light, there’s not much space, although it is efficient and you really don’t need much. Bring a good book for the evenings. The experience is all about the bears, not the comforts. That being said, the Tundra Buggy is cosy and pleasant.
