xBeluga Whales & Arctic Wildlife of Churchill

Few of nature’s marvels match the intense aliveness of an Arctic summer. In a region that's frozen, still and dark for much of the year, the Northland awakens with a burst of energy during these long days when the tundra turns green, animals come forth in great flocks and herds, and the sea welcomes the beluga whales back for their summer feasting. More than 3,000 of these wondrous white whales congregate at the mouth of the Churchill River, and our motorized rafts and kayaks put us at eye-level with them. With the remote yet accessible outpost town of Churchill as our base on the edge of Hudson Bay, we are part of the excitement, surrounded by a flurry of natural wonders that only a northern summer can provide.
