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 on International Tours: 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.

In general, daytime temperatures are in the low 30s dropping to the low 20s at night. Although it is possible for Churchill to see snow in early November, it is rare for the snow to accumulate much at this time of year. Rain is a distinct possibility.

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.

You may rent winter outerwear and boots upon arrival in Winnipeg if you prefer. It is best to arrange this prior to arrival to ensure proper sizing and availability.

For This Trip You Will Need—

• Warm, waterproof parka, preferably hooded
• Base layers
• Warm hat, scarf, gloves
• Warm rubber-soled winter boots with good traction
• 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.

You May Also Want—

• Snow pants or other waterproof layer
• Binoculars
• Water resistant day pack; a small backpack is a better option than a purse.

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate.
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest. 
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on.

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.

• You may bring either one suitcase plus a carry-on. The combined weight should be no more than 70 lbs. There is limited storage on the plane between Winnipeg and Churchill and space is also limited in the transfer vehicles. 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. The possibility of steps exist at most hotel entrances.

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

• Your US cell phone will work in Canada, but most 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.  Most providers offer Canada-only plans at reasonable rates.

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.

• Cold weather gear can be rented. Your Program Manager will provide details after final payment for those interested.
• Due to the remoteness of this location, proof of medical and emergency evacuation travel insurance is required for this tour. It is the responsibility of the traveler to secure adequate insurance coverage for the level of protection desired.
