Traveling Solo? 80% of the women on your tour will be traveling solo!

On the Reservation Form there are 3 choices regarding room-sharing.
Note: Certain room-types may be unavailable at the time you make your reservation. If a room-type is unavailable the choice will be greyed out.

• Select "Yes, I want to share a room" and WTT will assign you a roommate when Final Travel Instructions are sent.
• You can specify a roommate by entering her name where indicated. If your named roommate is not on the tour, for any reason, WTT will assign you a roommate unless you pay to have your own room, if available.
• Select "No, I do not wish to share a room" if you want to have your own room. Additional costs apply.

A few facts about sharing a room:

• All shared rooms have 2 beds
• All shared rooms are non-smoking
• No special requests about your roommate can be accommodated
• See "Frequently Asked Questions" TAB for more details

• 70% Easy 
• 30% Moderate (boat rides, dog carting, remoteness)

Each day of the itinerary lists the included meals for that day (B,L,D,O=Other). When a meal is not included, the WTT Tour Leader will have suggestions for where to eat.

You do not have to dine alone unless it is your personal choice. You'll most likely be dining with new acquaintances you've made, or you can join the Tour Leader.

Dietary Restrictions: WTT has limited to no control over food selections or variety from meal-to-meal, especially at hotels. While we do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions and ensure variety of options, we cannot guarantee either. It is very difficult to accommodate special dietary needs on this tour as all supplies must be flown into Churchill. Lunches on board the Tundra Buggy usually include: soup, 2 choices of sandwiches (both meat-based), and cookies.    

In general temperature can vary from 51˚F to 68˚F but often strong winds can make the temperature feel colder. The days are longer during July. You can expect approximately 16 hours of daylight. We suggest you monitor weather apps leading up to the time you depart for the most current information. 

The ability to add and remove layers of clothing as the temperature warrants will enhance your comfort. Though we travel in the warmth of a Tundra Buggy®, temperatures can vary widely if the windows are open.


For This Trip You Will Need—

• Waterproof warm jacket, preferably hooded
• Nylon or waterproof pants
• Base layers such as short and long sleeve shirts, long pants, warm sweaters.
• Warm hat, scarf, gloves for night time
• Outdoor boots or hiking shoes
• A reusable water bottle is encouraged to keep the Tundra Buggies free from disposable water bottles and plastics that are difficult to recycle in this remote location.
• Hat & Sunglasses
• Bug repellent (during the summer months the mosquitos and black flies are very active)

You May Also Want—

• Binoculars
• Camera and extra camera batteries/memory card
• Water resistant day pack; a small backpack is a better option than a purse.

Good Packing Habits—

• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping aids, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.
• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing.
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe.
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the vehicles we use, the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance and the restrictions imposed by other forms of transportation such as charter planes.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase plus a carry-on bag.There is limited storage on the plane between Winnipeg and Churchill and space is also limited in the transfer vehicles. 
• Checked baggage for all flights must be limited to one piece per guest for a maximum total of 23kg (50lbs), and not be larger than 158cm (62in) (L+W+H). Each guest is allowed 2 carry-on, including personal items, for a maximum combined weight of 9kg (20lbs).
• The maximum dimensions permitted for carry on-baggage is 25cm x 40cm x 30cm or 10in x 16in x 12in. Carry on that exceeds these dimensions will be considered checked baggage and will have to be stored in the general baggage compartment.
• Space permitting and if able to be safely stowed, additional items such as coats, medication bag, a cane, CPAP etc. may be permitted in the cabin.
• Your airline carrier to Canada likely restricts checked luggage to 50 lbs.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. We expect you to be able to take your belongings from transport vehicles to your room and back. 

 Only you can determine your need to stay in contact while traveling.

• Your US cell phone will work in Canada but some cell providers charge roaming fees. Be sure to check with your cell provider before leaving home to see what plans they may offer to reduce the cost of using your phone outside the US. Some providers offer Canada-only plans at reasonable rates.
• When calling a Canadian number from your US cellphone, you will need to dial +1 before the area code.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks and cash needed for tipping.

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• Canada's official currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash and Canadian Dollars can be withdrawn from any ATM in Canada. Consider exchanging currency or using the ATMs located in the Winnipeg airport upon arrival. We recommend you have Canadian dollars on hand before arriving Churchill. There is one readily accessible ATM near the post office in Churchill.
• Many places accept US dollars, however, expect your rate of exchange to be poor and change to be offered in CAD.

Tipping of the guides and Tundra Buggy drivers is included. If you would like, leave a small gratuity for hotel housekeeping and the servers at included meals.

You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference.
