Experience the majesty of Canada’s largest ecosystem from a few hundred feet above the ground on a one-hour helicopter excursion. You will set out from the town of Churchill in a three- or six-passenger helicopter with an experienced interpretive pilot and fly across the desert-like tundra and northern sections of the boreal forest in search of wildlife, including polar bears, moose, ringed-seals, caribou, and Arctic fox in the fall and winter season, and magnificent beluga whale pods in the summer.
Covering more than half of the country, you will view the northern fringes of Canada's boreal forest, which is alive and teeming with frozen waterways and plant-life. The aerial tour includes other sites such as the Ithaca shipwreck located in Bird Cove just off the Hudson Bay shoreline, the historic Prince of Wales Fort, and the exclusive Wapusk National Park, home of Legendary Cape Churchill and the elusive 1,500 lb sparring polar bears. The helicopter tours are adapted daily to the migration patterns of the animals which enables you to experience the best wildlife viewing and photographic opportunities.
