I didn't realize that there are two Tundra Lodges when I booked my trip with Natural Habitat. I read the reviews for Tundra Buggy Lodge and thought I knew what to expect. However, NatHab uses the Great White Bear Tundra Lodge. I was pleasantly surprised to find small private cabins instead of a bunk with a curtain. It now sounds... More

We stayed on the lodge for the last tour of the season and were treated to a once in a lifetime experience. We were a bit apprehensive about the bunkhouses but wanted to stay where the bears are. Lucky for us, they had just installed brand new bunkhouses. They were warm and comfortable. Now there are 2 showers and 3... More

We were expecting very basic living conditions but were plesantly surprised at how well the lodge was run. Brei gave such fantastic food even for the packed lunch, its commendable. The lack of shower facilities for so many at a time is understandable but on the last night we were shifted into the new lodge.....it was fantastic. Warm beds plenty... More

The main reasons to stay at the Tundra Buggy Lodge is for the opportunity to be overnight in the vicinity of polar bears and to avoid a daily, bumpy 90-minute trip from a Churchill motel to the bears and another 90-minute ride back to town. This is a wilderness experience, so expect only basic accommodations. The lodge consists of specialized... More

I read all the reviews before booking Tundra Buggy Lodge and I wish TripAdvisor had more than 5 stars to use for rating. My trip was October of 2011, and it was well worth the money. I did a 3 day Adventurer Level tour, and we were out on the tundra in the buggy about 8 hours each day. At... More

Here is the bear truth. The Tundra Buggy Lodge is not the RItz Carlton..why would you even expect that given where you are headed? The experience from Winnipeg to Churchill via air is unremarkable. The bus transfers are standard as is the shopping in Churchill for Polar Bear themed purchases, but once you transfer to the Tundra Buggy heading out... More

Well, as there are only 2 outdated reviews for the Tundra Buggy Lodge on TripAdvisor, I can see that it's high time for an update... We just got back from a 5 night stay at the Tundra Buggy Lodge at "Polar Bear Point" near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. I will say at the outset that this is an adventure, more than... More

We booked this polar bear trip a year in advance and couldn't wait. We decided to deviate from the 'program' and took the train from Winnipeg to Churchill. We didn't receive the promised itenary beforehand, and upon arrival in Churchill; with the max temp being -11 degr C and the wind howling at 70-90 km/h, there was no one to... More

I stayed in the Tundra Buggy Lodge in November of 2001. I was on a trip to Cape Churchill to see polar bears, we never got there even though we paid a premium price for the experience there was no refund for not reaching our destination. The mobile lodge couldn't be towed out because of weather conditions. Apparently this happens... More
