Top Winnipeg Seasonal & Special Occasions

Experience polar bears in their natural habitat on an incredible 5-night tour into the Canadian wild. Fly from Winnipeg to the remote town of Churchill, your Hudson Bay base. While here pay visit to the local Itsanitaq Museum, go dog-sledding and enjoy multiple polar bear-viewing adventures. Set out in a specially-designed tundra buggy to witness these magnificent creatures feed and frolic and to learn about their daily lives, as well as ways climate change is affecting them. Keep an eye out for foxes, ptarmigans and snowy owls as well.

Summer is the perfect time to visit Churchill, Manitoba. During the months of July and August, the Churchill River is teeming with beluga whales who migrate into the warm, shallow waters to give birth and feed on fish. Known as the “canaries of the sea”, these friendly and inquisitive creatures will capture your heart as you enjoy their whale song by boat or, for the more adventurous, in the water with a Zodiac, kayak or stand-up paddleboard adventure. While on land, enjoy the view as the surrounding landscape erupts into colourful summer blooms. You will experience a dog carting excursion with a professional musher on a mile-long trek through the boreal forest and explore the Churchill Wildlife Management Area by Tundra Buggy for your chance to see a multitude of northern wildlife. You might even have the opportunity to see the first of the summer polar bears as they begin their migration into the area.
