Our Story

Sea North Tours is the oldest tour company on the water in Churchill, Manitoba. Founded in 1977, by Mike and Doreen Macri, it was sold in 2011 to their close friends, Dwight Allen and Louise Foubert, who are the current operators today. It has always been a family owned company that developed because of a love of the subarctic and its wildlife. Dwight and Louise have a passion for sharing Churchill’s treasures with people from all over the world and started their tourism ventures back in 1982. Along with their son Remi, they have spearheaded many of the tourism attractions in Churchill today including: paddleboarding with the belugas, whale-friendly boats, The Sloop Cove Hike and more. With their entrepreneurial ingenuity, Sea North Tours continues to grow each year.

Experience

Sea North Tours Ltd. has been in operation for 40 years! Our mandate has always been and will always continue to be to provide our visitors with a unique opportunity to observe marine animals in their natural environment and to spread knowledge about their behaviour and biology.

Sustainability

Our aim is to operate our business in a sustainable and responsible way in order to ensure and encourage continued preservation, protection and welfare of the animals and to minimize our impact on nature. We hope that we are the ears, eyes and the voice to help uphold the protection of the region’s wildlife population.

Our Commitment

Truly Whale Friendly Boats

Some belugas swim closely behind boats, enjoying bubbles from their engine propellers. But props can injure or even kill them. That doesn’t happen with Sea North boats. We either use prop-free Jet Drive engines or Prop Guards® on our boats so there are no exposed moving parts beneath the water.

We were the first whale watching company in the Churchill River and Hudson Bay to install Prop Guards®, and we’re still the only ones. But we are working to change that. In addition to educating others about Prop Guards, we’ve also become a dealer so we can provide them at cost–making guards more accessible in the North. Heck, we’ve even given them away!

Testimonials
  • Sea North Tours have been amazing to work with. Not only are their drivers fantastic, but they really do have customer experience at the heart of their operation. They also have an incredible focus on safety, for the clients and the whales. It has been a pleasure to work with Sea North Tours and we are excited for the upcoming summer as well.

    NATURAL HABITAT
  • Sea North Tours. Simply the best! I’ve been all over the world in search of marine life encounters for photography and nothing beats the Beluga Whale action provided by Sea North Tours. I return to Churchill every summer from SE Florida because I never get tired of being bumped by belugas — the most interesting creature I’ve ever been in the water with. This is a family run business and they treat you like family, from the hotel accommodations to the breakfast every morning to the professionalism of the tours and other activities. I look forward to many more summers in Churchill with Sea North Tours and the belugas.
