Arrive any time today to Winnipeg and check into the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel at the Winnipeg airport. Join the evening meet & greet hosted by your tour guide at the hotel.
Our journey begins in Winnipeg, the geographic center of North America. We travel over-land to Riding Mountain National Park where the bold boreal forest, expanses of meadows and lakes, lofty heights and deep gorges of the Manitoba Escarpment are home to moose, black bears, and a captive bison herd and more.
From there our adventure takes us to Churchill where the boreal forest gives way to the rugged and barren tundra and where we will set out in search of mighty polar bear and beluga whales.
Morning bus transfer to Riding Mountain National Park. An introductory tour of the park will be given and an evening wildlife safari takes place after dinner. Accommodation is at the Honeycomb Bed & Breakfast for two nights.
This morning we’ll go on a wildlife drive and enjoy an Interpretive bison enclosure presentation by Parks Canada. In the afternoon a guided tour of the Parks Canada Visitor Centre followed by the balance of the day free to explore the town of Wasagaming.
We’ll head out on an early morning wildlife drive before breakfast. After check-out the bus returns us to Winnipeg where we spend the evening at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.
An early morning flight to Churchill today. On arrival we’ll transfer to our accommodation in the main area of the town before heading out for a Churchill Town & Area Tour, visits to the Eskimo Museum and Parks Canada Visitor Centre. The day is capped off by a Beluga Whale & Prince of Wales Fort boat tour.
A fun day today as you’ll go on a Beluga Zodiac Tour and a Dog Cart excursion, where you get to meet the sled dogs.
A Tundra Buggy™ Adventure today, to enjoy the expanse of tundra and hopefully spot some wildlife and birds. Lunch is served right on the Tundra Buggy™.
