Belugas are very small, beautiful whales found only in Arctic waters.
In the brief Arctic summer in Hudson Bay they gather in their hundreds…
And in a Zodiac you can learn about them - and almost get close enough to touch.
And there is a fairly good chance that you will also get to see a few Churchill Canada Polar Bears.
But this trip is also a chance to experience the Arctic summer in all its glory…
