Top Manitoba Full-day Tours

Leave the city behind to explore the monumental forces that shaped Manitoba. Crossing the colossal Red River Floodway, see the massive project built to defend Winnipeg from historic floods. Travel across the flat plain—an ancient glacial lakebed—and stop at a local cafe before transitioning into the rugged Boreal Shield. At the Winnipeg River, discover the immense human effort used to harness rushing water. Visit beautiful Whitemouth Falls and stand in awe of Seven Sisters Generating Station, where wilderness meets industrial might. Nearby, visit the idyllic forest town of Pinawa, cross a spectacular suspension bridge, explore the concrete ruins of an old dam, and learn about the region’s unique nuclear history. Balanced with light hikes along the iconic Trans Canada Trail, a relaxing local lunch, and views of ancient rock formations, this day trip offers a profound connection to the landscape.

Travel north to the rugged shores of Lake Winnipeg—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake—to explore the undeveloped wilderness of Elk Island Provincial Park. This guided day-trip begins with an unhurried drive featuring local commentary on the area's history and geography, stopping at a coffee shop along the way. Upon arrival at destination, the hike begins with a unique shallow water crossing and a walk along a sweeping sandspit before entering the island's boreal interior. You will hike through quiet forested trails that suddenly open up to a dramatic northern shore where massive sand cliffs and open water create a sense of total isolation. After completing the island circuit, the adventure returns to the mainland. Refuel with a meal at a local restaurant, cap off the day with a stroll along the world-famous white sands of Grand Beach, and enjoy a relaxing drive back.
