The Tundra Buggy Lodge



The Tundra Buggy Lodge is located on the tundra itself near Churchill, Manitoba. The lodge consists of five linked together units on huge 5-foot tall wheels with safe open-air viewing platforms on top of and between each unit.
Two of the cars are for sleeping and include bathroom and shower facilities. The sleeping cars provide private bunks including a window, a light and shelves. There is also a lounge car, dinning car and a car that houses the supplies and power. The lodge is heated and safe and creates an excellent atmosphere for polar bear viewing and photography opportunities. This includes night viewing where the stars and northern lights can provide an eerie and amazing view of the massive white bears.


The Tundra Buggy

During the day a motorized tundra buggy takes people on excursions to areas away from the lodge for a larger variety of viewing opportunities. A Tundra Buggy is roomy and looks similar to a Tundra Buggy Lodge car. It comes in 26, 40 or 48 passenger sizes and is equipped with heat, restrooms and two-way radios for comfort and safety.
