Q: I've already been to Churchill to photograph bears. What other trips do you offer that might be of interest to me?

A: We have a number of programs that we offer outside Manitoba, including BC Grizzly Bears in Port Hardy, British Columbia. We also offer two wildlife viewing tours in Nunavut. We travel to Elu Inlet, which is located just south of Victoria Island, to photograph musk ox, barren ground grizzly bear and caribou. This adventure also includes a cultural program provided by Inuit hosts. In the eastern Arctic, we travel to the small community of Igloolik to view and photograph bowhead whales, walrus and seal.

Q: When is the best time to travel further north than Churchill?

A: Most of our other Adventures offered take place in late June/early July. Activities in the far north tend to be very weather dependant. By late June, spring begins and brings with it nesting birds, budding flowers and migrating wildlife.

Q: Is there special documentation I need to travel into the Territories?

A: No. You'll require the same travel documents to travel to the far north as you need to travel to, or within the rest of, Canada.

Q: What is the weather like further north?

A: Weather in the north can be very fickle. Spring comes later than it does in the south and summer is short. When packing clothing to travel north, there are a few general rules you must follow; plan to dress in "layers" for the appropriate season. Casual, comfortable clothing is appropriate. Insect repellent for the summer is important. Year round sun screen use is suggested. Detailed clothing suggestions will be provided for you once you've booked your Adventure.

Q: Can I drive to Nunavut?

A: No. No roads lead into Nunavut. A number of airlines cater specifically to travel in Canada's north. Departure cities will vary (Ottawa, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Edmonton, Alberta) depending on your final destination.

Q: What are the bugs like in Churchill in the summer?

A: As with all northern communities, mosquitoes and black flies can be a problem in the summer. We recommend taking a good mosquito spray. Impregnated bug jackets and hats are also a good idea.
