Manitoba Tours & Trips
If you’re dreaming of wildlife spotting in a stunning location, it has to be Manitoba Canada, the Churchill Polar Bear Capital. Explore beautiful Arctic tundra, and spot beluga whales depending on the season, and chase the Northern Lights. If you visit during October-November, you’ll see polar bears migrating, but any time of year is majestic. It’s remote, but worth every second, especially when taking a tundra buggy to get you close for safe viewing. A true dream!
