Helicopter Tours

Experience the majesty of Canada's largest ecosystem from a couple hundred feet above the ground on a one-hour helicopter tour. Set out from the town of Churchill 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.

The helicopter tour includes other sites such as the Ithaca shipwreck located just off the Hudson Bay shoreline, the historic Prince of Wales Fort, and the exclusive Wapusk National Park, home of Legendary Cape Churchill. 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.
