4 Spaces Remaining
please contact conservation@houstonzoo.org for more information 
 
This flagship polar bear tour offers extraordinary polar bear viewing opportunities afforded our guests as well as the broad introduction to life in the North over the course of a six-day adventure. Two tundra vehicle day trips and a night trip are complemented by time spent exploring this subarctic outpost, all in the company of professional and experienced expedition guides.
 
See the world’s greatest concentration of polar bears, just outside Churchill, Manitoba while experiencing the frozen wilderness on Hudson Bay from the comfort of warm tundra vehicles.
 
Polar bears are typically in the Churchill area all year round. The highest concentration occurs in October and November while waiting for the Hudson Bay to freeze over so they can hunt seal which make up the majority of their diet.
