The Capital of Canada's Polar Bear Tours

Situated in northern Manitoba on the edge of Hudson Bay, the small town of Churchill is famous for its Canada polar bear tours. 

An area of unique diversity where taiga, tundra, boreal forest and coastal estuary meet, it provides a prime habitat for polar bears alongside a range of other creatures like beluga whales, foxes, wolves, moose and arctic hares. 

Each autumn the area’s polar bears venture onto the newly-frozen pack ice to hunt for seals, but there are good reasons to visit in the summer months too.

In July and August thousands of Beluga whales migrate to the chilly waters of the Churchill River, while polar bears begin to make their way off the ice, arriving pure white and gorgeous.

Sights to see in town include the Polar Bear Compound which houses orphan cubs and anti-social adults, an excellent Eskimo Museum and Cape Merry National Historic Site.

"Canada By Design proved to be a great tour operator. Every stop, every transfer, and every destination proved to be perfect. Most impressive: all of our transfers were right on time. We may have to do this again and stay more than 4 days."

Amanda Central Travel

"We booked a trip to see the northern lights in Whitehorse and couldn't be happier with the experience. Francesca was great with answering any questions we had and getting everything set up so we could have such an amazing experience, complete with different activities in the day, and a stunning aurora viewing area by night. We couldn't have asked for a better time checking off a bucket list item of ours. Cannot recommend Canada By Design enough and will definitely be looking for more tours with them in the future. "

Colin M

"We booked the Luxury Winter Train Tour to the Canadian Rockies, and Kara was our travel designer. Our trip was absolutely perfect! All the arrangements were well coordinated, and everything went smoothly. The locations were beautiful, and the accommodations were perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks to Kara and Canada by Design for a wonderful adventure."

Joanne Massachusetts, United States

"I don't know how I will ever thank you all at Canada by Design for making our trip of a lifetime!"

Ann - Australia

"I highly recommend Canada by Design for Canadian travel. All I told them was, "design a Western Canada trip that goes where most people want to go." What they designed was perfect, beautifully planned, and beautifully executed. Every vendor they chose for excursions showed up on time, was pleasant and helpful, and did what they promised. Highlights were the seaplane from Vancouver to Victoria, the Rocky Mountaineer domed train from Vancouver to Jasper, and the Fairmont Gold hotel rooms."

Jane S

"This was an A++ experience! I'll definitely use Canada by Design for our next trip to Canada."

Kathleen Texas, United States

"The staff at Canada by Design could not have been more helpful and friendly."

"I would definitely recommend this to anyone - but especially to young parents with families. "
