Beluga Whale Season

  • July and August: As the sea ice goes out and summer approaches in Churchill Manitoba, the Churchill River Estuary fills with thousands of energetic and vocal beluga whales.

  • Birds migrate in droves to the rich land, and the stark Tundra becomes blanketed in bright wildflowers and teems with wildlife that is just waiting to be discovered.

  • The mild summer weather and fluctuating tide make Churchill’s sights more accessible than any other time of the year.
