Due to some key geographical features (it’s the first place that the sea ice freezes every year), Churchill, Manitoba has the highest concentration of polar bears in the world.  The bears congregate here before they head out onto the sea ice for the winter to hunt seals.  Join us for an epic adventure with Lazy Bear Expeditions to come face to face with wild polar bears!

Lazy Bear Lodge

At Lazy Bear Lodge, the thrill of the arctic doesn’t end when you return to the Lodge. That’s because the Lodge itself is an authentic northern wonder!

This is no regular log cabin. The timber was reclaimed from a fire in the boreal forest. Using hand tools, the logs fit together so well as to appear as if they were melted into each other. The windows were recycled from an 1800’s Hudson Bay Trading Post, and if you look closely, you’ll see the characteristic wave of the old glass.

Come inside and feel the warmth of the massive stone fireplace, crafted from a 20,000 pound block of stone and mortar. Even the floor came from recycled Douglas Fir from the Canadian National Railway warehouse built in the early 1920’s.

The stay at the Lazy Bear Lodge is as unique an adventure as the expeditions you choose.
