Places to See and Stay: Seal River Heritage Lodge - Churchill and Northern Manitoba

Through the months of July and August Mike Reimer’s Seal River Heritage Lodge is the only place where you can go for a wilderness walk, capturing both polar bears and beluga whales in the same picture frame. You can also take to the water and kayak or snorkel with the belugas. With just the one fly-in lodge on the entire Hudson Bay coast, the area is so remote that wildlife has little fear of man.

Just getting to Seal River Heritage Lodge is a scenic highlight, as your group of up to sixteen guests is flown to a little haven with a comfortable sitting room, cosy fireplaces, expansive picture windows and modern amenities. The meals are so good here that Seal River have even produced their own cookbook, with favourite dishes including almondcrusted Arctic char and jalapeno goose breasts. The Seal River guides include photographers, biologists and polar bear specialists who are all experts in their field: you won’t just observe, but also learn about this spectacular wilderness.
