Frontiers North Adventures has released its top tour picks for the 2026 season in Churchill, Manitoba, highlighting expanded opportunities for visitors to see polar bears and the northern lights. The announcement helps the community prepare for the upcoming tourism season, which provides the primary source of jobs and income for many local residents.
The 2026 lineup features photography trips for the northern lights in February and March, followed by whale-watching in the summer and polar bear viewing in the fall. Visitors will be able to stay at the Tundra Buggy Lodge, a mobile hotel located at Polar Bear Point on the tundra where bears gather.
To reduce acoustic and carbon impacts, the company is deploying an expanded fleet of Electric Vehicle (EV) Tundra Buggies for the 2026 season. These battery-powered vehicles provide a silent, zero-emission touring experience that reduces engine noise and exhaust, helping protect the fragile Churchill Wildlife Management Area.
Because many of these trips are booked more than a year in advance, the release of the 2026 dates allows local restaurants and shops to plan their hiring and stock their shelves. As a Certified B Corp, Frontiers North Adventures is subject to verified standards for social and environmental performance, which shape how the business supports the local community and the environment.
Because Churchill has no year‑round road connection to the provincial highway network, visitors reach the town mainly by air and rail — supporting regional airlines such as Calm Air and rail services including VIA Rail. This yearly cycle is a major part of the local economy, helping to keep businesses open and people employed throughout the year.
