Nestled deep within polar bear country, Churchill Wild offers a unique and unparalleled wilderness experience through their luxury ecolodges located on Canada’s Hudson Bay coast. This family-owned business, founded by Mike and Jeanne Reimer, takes pride in their rich history in the region and their pioneering efforts to create the world’s first polar bear walking safaris.
Churchill Wild boasts three distinct ecolodges – Seal River Heritage Lodge, Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, and Dymond Lake Ecolodge – all situated along the Hudson Bay coast, providing guests with a front-row seat to the polar bear highway. These lodges are not only beautifully crafted with locally sourced materials but also offer cozy rooms, timber frame lounges with fireplaces, and stunning views of the surrounding wilderness.
One of the highlights of staying at a Churchill Wild lodge is the exceptional culinary experience. Inspired by the award-winning “Blueberries & Polar Bears” cookbook series, the lodges serve up tundra-inspired cuisine made from locally sourced ingredients, including fresh produce from their very own orchard and gardens. Guests can indulge in delicious meals while enjoying warm, family-style customer service and comfortable accommodations.
Walking with polar bears at Churchill Wild is not only an exciting adventure but also a carefully planned and safely managed experience. The lodge’s extensively trained guides lead daily excursions, ensuring a safe distance from the bears and using non-invasive deterrents to maintain a respectful environment. With a proven safety record spanning over three decades, Churchill Wild upholds the highest standards of wildlife viewing ethics.
Churchill Wild’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by their numerous prestigious awards and accolades. Both Seal River Heritage Lodge and Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge are proud members of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World collection, and the company has received accolades such as the PURE Life Experiences Award and TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards. Churchill Wild’s lodges have become sought-after destinations for filmmakers and photographers, showcasing rare encounters with polar bears and wolves in their natural habitat.
