Tundra Buggy Lodge at Polar Bear Point - Enthusiast Level

 

Tundra Buggy Lodge is located at Polar Bear Point in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, home to the largest concentration of polar bears in the Churchill area. The lodge offers a unique, immersive experience where, when conditions are right, you can view the dance of the northern lights from the rooftop observation deck and fall asleep with polar bears right outside your window. Daily Tundra Buggy® excursions take you beyond the lodge for plenty of photography opportunities. Evenings at the lodge can be just as memorable, with delectable, regional dishes created by your private lodge chef and sample time to swap stories with other guests and enjoy regional cuisine. As a guest at the Tundra Buggy Lodge, you are also invited to enjoy exclusive evening presentations hosted by Polar Bears International species experts and our knowledgeable Interpretive Guides.
