HISTORY
The company behind the original polar bear experience.
In 1979 the Tundra Buggy® Adventure, originally known as Tundra Buggy Tours Ltd., began conducting polar bear tour trips from Churchill, Manitoba to the frozen tundra, some thirty kilometers away. From the safety and comfort of a Tundra Buggy, visitors were able to get closer than anybody had been before to the majestic polar bear. What began with historic Buggy #1 and an elite group of photographers and adventure seekers has grown to a world-class Adventure! Photographing the polar bears of Churchill has been established as a cornerstone to any serious photographer's portfolio and experiencing them has become an important notch on any real adventurer's belt.
In a process that began four years earliers, in 2003 Merv and Lynda Gunter, owners of Canadian North adventuring company, Frontiers North® Adventures, assumed majority ownership of Churchill's Tundra Buggy company.
Since the involvement of Frontiers North, The Tundra Buggy Adventure has evolved into a company not only known internationally for providing amazing and intimate polar bear tours to Gordon Point and Cape Churchill, but is now also known internationally as a leader in Canada's Ecotourism industry, with strong company ethos generating global awareness about Churchill's polar bears through groundbreaking initiatives like The Polar Bear Cam and leading support roles in initiatives like Polar Bears International's Polar Bear Leadership Camp and Videoconference Classroom.
