Nicknamed “sea canaries” for their strange high-pitched whistles, clicking, chirping and other underwater vocalizations, thousands of beluga whales inhabit the warmer waters of the Churchill River after the ice breaks up.

Zodiacs and larger passenger boats will take you out among these intelligent and curious creatures. Listen in on the whales’ conversation using hydrophones and try to figure out what they are saying. 

If you’re more adventurous, venture out on (or in) the water – kayaking with these friendly sea mammals is an unforgettable experience.
