Manitoba

A world class fishing destination for anglers, and the opportunity to snorkel with or kayak alongside the thousands of beluga whales; Manitoba is a simple but powerful strip of Canada. Its bordering regions are Ontario, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and the U.S. states of North Dakota and Minnesota. Home to saltwater coastline on the Hudson Bay and to one of the world’s largest lakes - the Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba is a truly Canadian prairie province.

Be it Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, famous for Fort Gibraltar, churches, numerous parks, casinos and museums, the Beluga whales and Polar Bear capital of the world - Churchill, the Canadian Fossil Discovery Center at Morden, the Pisew Falls which are Manitoba’s highest accessible natural falls, the lakes and Riding Mountain National Park in Wasagaming famous for wildlife viewing, horseback riding, trail hiking and cycling, the Wapusk National Park along the Hudson Bay’s shores near Churchill known for waterfowl and shorebirds, or the mountainous and wooded village of Flin Flon which is home to a standalone statue called Flonatin; Manitoba boasts of some fascinating places. The best time to visit Manitoba is during the fall months of September and October, and also during autumn and summer.

With maple tree woodlands, spurting rivers, graveled landscapes, magnificent creatures such as polar bears and wild moose, and a rugged coastline, a trip to Manitoba should not be missed!
