Preparing For Polar Bear Tours Churchill

By Peter Wilson


Churchill is perhaps the most visited destination in Canada by animal lovers. This is because it is a unique human settlement that allows people to see the polar bear while in its habitat. Here this animal is easily found living and coexisting with humans. The period between October and November is a prime bear season. At this time, the area gets many visitors who come for the polar bear tours Churchill. Ideally, this is a memorable season to be in Canada.

Visitors get to experience and explore the magnificent Arctic landscape. There are many daily tours around the area because visitors want to see and take photos of the bears. It is also fun to explore the land on foot. There are special vehicles called Tundra that are used by guides to take people around in the snowy terrain. It is important to prepare for this tour properly.

Get a travel agency to arrange the details of the tour. These include accommodations and activities to do while in the area. The agency should advice all clients on what to carry as well as the weather conditions to expect while on the ground. They should do their best to prepare the clients emotionally and allow them appreciate the climatic conditions to be able to carry the necessary items and clothing needed. Clients are advised to be aware of conmen.

Always carry a camera to capture memories and photos of the polar bear. The region has a breathtaking landscape. This provides a good backdrop of ice and snow while taking shots of the animals. The area is also popular for its magnificent display of northern lights. These are easily seen because there are many clear nights. Surely, this is a good place to bring out the photographer in you.

Warm clothing and accessories are very important to carry. It is very important to be prepared for rain, the cold and windy conditions in the area. Make sure to get several pairs of good, warm boots. Carry either rubber insulated ones, neoprene boots. Carry raincoats and rain pants of jackets that are waterproof or seam sealed. As for the pants, they should be comfortable, tightly woven and wind resistant. Do not carry cotton pants.

In addition, carry several warm hats made from materials that are quick to dry. These can be fleece hats or wool toque. Remember to pack warm mittens and gloves that are made from wind resistant fabric. Long underwear is important and should be made from either synthetic material or wool. Again, do not carry cotton. The same applies to socks.

When it comes to accessories, one should carry toiletries, phones, sunglasses and alarm clocks that glow even in the dark. They should also carry any medicine or vitamins they use. These should come with a complimentary backpack that is waterproof to keep things in it dry.

Carry some cash, a credit and a debit card. The debit card is useful if one runs out of quick cash while the credit cards pay for large bills. Carry own internet because that which is provided may not be strong enough. A smart phone that tethers with a laptop is perfect as is a MiFi Card.
