Tundra Buggy Lodge, Churchill, MB

  • Thermostat-controlled heating

Location & What's Nearby

The lodge sits at Polar Bear Point in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, on the shore of Hudson Bay, with open tundra and water stretching in every direction. It is well away from town, so the focus is on wildlife: polar bear watching throughout the day, and northern lights viewing on clear nights, weather permitting. 

Why We Recommend It

We recommend Tundra Buggy Lodge for travellers whose priority is time among the bears rather than time in a hotel. Staying out on the tundra means you can watch from the viewing decks throughout the day, and the evening talks from wildlife experts and conservation researchers make the experience as informative as it is memorable. It suits wildlife and photography enthusiasts planning your time in Churchill.

Tundra Buggy Lodge Experience

A sound-dampening curtain provides privacy by separating the berths from the aisle. To combat the naturally arid conditions on the tundra, our accommodations are humidity controlled. Each berth is equipped with a thermostat controlled heating unit, giving guests the ability to adjust the berth temperature.

Bedding, towels, and even earplugs are provided for your comfort. In addition, each 20-person accommodation unit has three bathrooms, two of which are equipped with showers.

The Thanadelthur lounge is used for relaxation, presentations, wildlife and northern lights viewing and more. Thanadelthur has Wi-Fi accessibility, a multi-touch SmartBoard screen, and a robust audio system. Guests are invited to mingle over wine and appetisers before dinner, socialise, play cards or board games, and read.

After dinner, enjoy presentations by the staff and wildlife experts who join us at the Lodge, including leading researchers from Polar Bears International. Thanadelthur is also a great place to swap stories and share images. 

The Tundra Buggy Lodge dining hall, affectionately known as Dan's Diner, is where you will find our Lodge chef Jared cooking up a storm of regional cuisine and hearty home-cooked favourites. Enjoy a filling breakfast to prepare for your day of wildlife viewing on the tundra, and a delectable dinner with fellow guests to end off a successful day. 

Breakfast may consist of hot and cold cereals, muffins, fruit, toast, pancakes or eggs. Lunch will be a picnic-style lunch of soup and sandwiches served on the Tundra Buggy. Dinner can include anything from chicken, to bison lasagna, fish or pasta and regional cuisines such as elk and arctic char.

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juices are available throughout the day. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated at the lodge with prior notice.
