Tour Descriptions

DMCi Inc offers clients an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the heart of Canada's Arctic with the Polar Bear & Beluga Tour Package. This carefully crafted 6-night expedition takes place in Churchill, Manitoba during the enchanting summer months of July and August. Travel professionals can confidently provide their clients with an unparalleled wildlife experience that will create lasting memories and generate enthusiastic referrals.

Clients will be filled with excitement as they witness the awe-inspiring sight of 60,000 Beluga Whales filling the Hudson Bay, while majestic Polar Bears roam the shoreline, having recently left the melting sea ice. DMCi Inc's experienced guides will lead them to the most stunning, remote locations, providing the best opportunities to observe not only Polar Bears and Beluga Whales, but also a diverse array of Arctic fauna, including Arctic Sik-Siks, over 200 bird species, seals, Arctic Hare, and Arctic Fox.

A sense of exclusivity and privilege will wash over clients as they board the brand-new, custom-designed vessel Matonabee, certified by Transport Canada. Lazy Bear's knowledgeable Captain will navigate the group to one of the most remote Polar Bear viewing areas on the west side of Hudson Bay, where the majority of these incredible creatures congregate during the summer. Weather and wildlife permitting, clients may even have the extraordinary opportunity to disembark the boat and walk in the very footsteps of the Polar Bears.

The adventure continues with an intimate Beluga Whale Boat/Fort Tour, allowing clients to get up close and personal with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. They'll watch in wonder as the Beluga Whales feed on schools of Caplin, Arctic Char, and Brook Trout in the Churchill River and Hudson Bay. For those seeking an even more immersive experience, optional extras like Beluga AquaGliding™ and kayaking with the whales are readily available, providing further opportunities for travel agents to earn additional commissions.

Back on land, a summer Tundra Tour aboard state-of-the-art Arctic Crawlers™ will showcase the breathtaking landscape, while a comprehensive Churchill Heritage Tour will immerse clients in the rich history of the area, visiting iconic sites such as Cape Merry, the Polar Bear Holding Facility, and the famous “Miss Piggy" plane wreckage.

Throughout the journey, clients will enjoy exceptional accommodations, with 4 nights at the cozy Lazy Bear Lodge in Churchill and 2 nights in Winnipeg. All meals are included during their stay in Churchill, featuring delectable fare at the Lazy Bear Café, with vegetarian options available.
