A+ Tundra Buggy tour with Jim

Our Tundra Buggy tour with Jim aboard Buggy 9 was a true delight. As the first Wildlife Management Area tour of the season, we enjoyed seeing a wonderful variety of birds and several Arctic hares. Jim is incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife of the region and shared fascinating insights throughout the day. He was especially interested in checking whether some of the bird nests he monitors had returned for the season, which made the experience feel like a genuine wildlife expedition.
Although we didn't spot a polar bear (too early in the season), Jim did everything he could to maximize our chances, taking us far into the Wildlife Management Area. Exploring such a remote landscape was an adventure in itself and we never felt disappointed. The lunch served onboard was delicious and a welcome part of the experience.
Thank you, Jim, for a memorable day. We'd happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Churchill.

Amazing and Unforgettable Experience

We went to Iceland a couple of years ago to try to catch the Northern Lights and had bad luck with cloudy skies - got nothing. Decided to try Churchill and did the 7-day itinerary at the end of February. From the introductory welcome dinner to the farewell dinner, everything was planned to perfection. We met our guide, Jeff H, and three other couples at the welcome dinner. In Churchill, we were lucky enough to have Alex C and Ray F accompany us for many of our excursions and share their knowledge and expertise with us. Ross P drove us to all our meals and excursions and was always careful to pick us up and drop us off in the safest and least-slippery spots. We saw the aurora every night with varying degrees of intensity. We even saw a meteor, something worth boasting about for sure! The great thing about the itinerary was the opportunity to also learn about and interact with some of the indigenous peoples of Churchill. The package price covered everything except alcohol so there was no need to worry about extra costs except for souvenirs and other small purchases. We were well fed - all meals and snacks were included and delicious. The food and staff at Ptarmigan were wonderful and the dinner we had at Dan’s Diner was an amazing and unforgettable culinary experience. The hotel was a bit older but served its purpose well and always had complimentary self-serve coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available. Churchill is the coldest place I’ve ever been so take advantage of the gear rental program, it will make the evening activities more comfortable (even though you can always go indoors to warm up as needed). We enjoyed ourselves so much on this trip with Frontiers North and are planning to return at some point to experience the polar bear and whale watching during the overlap period. Thanks to Frontiers North for taking such good care of us and for the wonderful picture opportunities and memories!

Poor communication post booking

In February we booked a tour for October this year. We have not yet done the tour but both my partner and I have sent numerous emails to this company asking simple questions and requesting clarification on a few points prior to booking in flights from the UK and accommodation around the tour. We have not had responses. My last email to them, via their contact us tab, direct to both a named person and the CEO which was sent 10 days ago, has not yet been responded to.
This tour is not cheap and at the price we will have paid, we would expect a much better level of communication.
This one star review is for the current level of poor communication. I hope the tour itself will redeem our experience of this company and if it does, I will be happy to amend the review accordingly.
