It was everything we could have possibly hoped for! Potentially we were really lucky to encounter the bears that we did but I am sure it was in no small part down to the experience of our guide. He was knowledgeable and had a fabulous personable way of imparting this knowledge, whilst also managing to keep all of the coach both engaged and relaxed. We saw 12 bears and cubs in total, including a mum with three cubs (extremely rare) and had a male come right up to the buggy to inspect us! Seeing the bears in their natural habitat was more beautiful than I could have imagined. The lunch provided was also good quality and they catered for dietary requirements made known in advance. Although the buggy is heated make sure you layer up because you’ll be opening the window frequently for view and photo ops. If I had planned better I would also have arranged a northern lights tour. You only need minimal time to mooch around the town because it is very small.

Unfortunately, our flight with Calm Air was cancelled so my wife and I were unable to take the tour. No refund offered resulting in a loss of US$800+. If you book this tour you may want to wait till you get to Churchill to minimize your losses. Seems to me a refund or rescheduling this tour would a reasonable outcome here, not taking advantage of a situation like this to take money from your customers. Never again will I book a tour with this company.

I saw the windows were all dusty but still took many photos of the tundra on the drive out to the main viewing land, but ended up deleting them all. The windows were covered with beige dust. The weather was cold and icy, not dusty at all, so that dust had been there for a while. They sent out a promotional email with video exclaiming how they wash the windows getting ready for us. NOT on the bus we were on! The bear viewing that we did see, once at the location, was good. The upper half of the window can be opened to slide down and give clear views of the outside. The windows are very hard to slide up and engage the side locking pins, so you may need help doing it. (the company also fumbled my check in for the tour, which causes added stress for us) The soup and sandwich lunch was tasty.

The Driver Jim and the guide David Reid were fantastic. Very knowledgeable and willing to help you get great shots of active polar bears. Would definitely recommend as a once in a lifetime trip.
