Explore Canada Tourism, Activities, Planning Tips & Things To Do

Experience natural wonders, cultural gems, and year-round adventure in Manitoba, Canada

Welcome to Manitoba Adventure Travel, your official travel guide for eco-conscious and exciting adventures across this diverse prairie province in the heart of Canada. With its rich blend of boreal forests, prairie grasslands, aspen parklands, and over 100,000 lakes, Manitoba is one of Canada's most underrated outdoor destinations. Whether you're paddling a backcountry river, hiking through national parks, or spotting polar bears in the wild, Manitoba offers an authentic Canadian adventure like no other.

Manitoba Adventure Travel in Canada

Manitoba Adventure Travel begins at the geographic centre of Canada in the vibrant capital city of Winnipeg. As the largest city in the province, Winnipeg is known for its thriving arts scene, Indigenous culture, and year-round festivals. Located where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet, the city serves as a gateway to some of the province’s most iconic natural and cultural attractions.

Because of Manitoba's central location, it is easily accessible by air and road, making it an ideal destination for cross-country trips. From the wildlife-rich tundra of the north to the beach-lined lakes of the south, Manitoba is filled with unforgettable tourism opportunities and activities for all types of explorers.

Top Manitoba Adventure Travel Activities and Planning Tips

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of things to do when visiting Manitoba. Popular activities include hiking in Riding Mountain National Park, paddling in the remote waterways of Wapusk National Park, and sunbathing on the white sands of Grand Beach Provincial Park.

In the north, Churchill is one of the only places in the world where polar bears can be seen in the wild. Additionally, it’s one of the best spots on Earth to witness the Northern Lights — visible up to 300 nights a year. Because the seasons are so distinct, planning your trip around the ideal climate and wildlife experiences is essential.

Moreover, guided eco-tours and Indigenous-led experiences offer insight into Manitoba’s history and biodiversity, while promoting low-impact travel practices.

Manitoba Tourism Highlights and Unique Natural Wonders

The Manitoba Adventure Travel experience is enhanced by the province’s one-of-a-kind natural and cultural treasures. Wapusk National Park is home to the world’s largest polar bear denning site. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights — the first national museum outside of Ottawa — stands as a beacon of education and social change. Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Mint produces currency for over 60 countries worldwide.

Interestingly, Manitoba also hosts the largest red-sided garter snake dens in the world. In spring, thousands of snakes emerge, creating one of the most unique wildlife spectacles on the planet.

Must-Visit Parks, Trails, and Places of Interest in Manitoba

Several provincial and national parks define the Manitoba Adventure Travel experience. Riding Mountain National Park, located in Wasagaming, blends forest, prairie, and lake environments and is ideal for camping, wildlife viewing, and backcountry hiking. Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg covers over 1,100 acres and includes gardens, walking trails, and a top-rated zoo.

Additionally, Lake Winnipeg is one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes and home to the popular Grand Beach, a summer hotspot. Morden's Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre offers the largest collection of prehistoric marine fossils in Canada, and Duck Mountain Provincial Park is home to Manitoba’s highest point — Baldy Mountain at 831 metres.

Eco-Conscious Manitoba Adventure Travel Tips

Because of its incredible biodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems, sustainable travel practices are encouraged. Travelers should explore parks using marked trails, reduce waste, and support local conservation programs. Many tourism experiences in Manitoba are community-based and Indigenous-led, promoting respectful travel and cultural understanding.

Above all, Manitoba’s wilderness is best explored with care and curiosity. Responsible tourism ensures that its natural beauty and wildlife remain protected for generations to come.

    Kelowna Airport New Terminal Review | First Experience at YLW After the Expansion

    The day after I posted my previous YLW video, Kelowna International Airport (YLW) opened its new terminal expansion. The update quickly created a lot of local discussion, excitement, and some concerns, so I decided to experience the changes for myself.


    If you have travelled through YLW before, several parts of the airport experience have changed.


    New Security Screening Experience


    The most noticeable update is the brand-new security hallway. When we visited, we were on one of the last flights of the day, so security was quiet, but the redesigned space should help significantly during busy travel periods.


    Airport staff now fully recognize the Sunflower Lanyard Program, which is an important accessibility improvement for travelers who may require additional support while moving through security.


    Security screening itself is now much more streamlined:



    • Electronics no longer need to be removed from bags

    • Liquids can remain packed

    • Shoes stay on, except for boots above the ankle


    The process felt faster and less stressful compared to previous departures from YLW.


    First Impressions of the New Terminal


    Seeing the new terminal in person was impressive. I typically fly red-eye flights, so I have not yet experienced the space during daytime hours, but the expanded windows appear designed to offer excellent runway and mountain views during the day.


    The terminal feels more modern, open, and comparable to larger Canadian airports while still maintaining YLW’s regional atmosphere.


    Changes to Arrivals (Regional Flights)


    Arrivals have also changed for regional flights. Previously, passengers exited into a quiet hallway area. Now, passengers arrive directly at a gate and follow standard airport signage toward baggage claim.


    One notable difference is that baggage claim itself has not moved. Passengers now exit into the pre-security area on the opposite side of the airport, requiring travelers to walk through the full ticketing and check-in area to retrieve luggage.


    During busy travel periods, this layout could potentially create congestion, particularly if check-in lines are long. Travelers with mobility considerations may wish to request wheelchair assistance, as the walk is longer and spans most of the pre-security terminal.


    Overall Thoughts


    The terminal expansion represents a significant upgrade for Kelowna International Airport:



    • Improved security flow

    • Better accessibility recognition

    • Modernized terminal environment

    • More standard arrival experience


    It will be interesting to see how the airport performs during peak travel times and daytime departures.

    On Friday, February 6th, 2026, the annual Vernon Winter Carnival Balloon Glow lit up the night sky — and truly outdid itself this year. A long-standing favourite for locals and visitors alike, this iconic event brought the community together in a way we’ve never seen before.


    From the moment the gates opened, it was clear this was the busiest Balloon Glow Vernon has ever hosted. The energy was electric as families, friends, and carnival-goers filled the grounds, bundled up and ready to soak in every moment.


    The evening featured mesmerizing fire dancers, adding warmth and drama to the crisp winter air, while food trucks lined the space with the irresistible smell of comfort food and sweet treats. A mini market showcased local vendors, giving attendees a chance to shop small and support our amazing community creators.


    And of course — the true stars of the night — the hot air balloons. As they illuminated one by one, glowing against the dark winter sky, the crowd fell into awe. The combination of music, lights, laughter, and towering balloons created a truly magical atmosphere that reminded everyone why the Vernon Winter Carnival is so special.


    This year’s Balloon Glow wasn’t just an event — it was an unforgettable experience, a celebration of winter, community, and the joy of coming together. If you’ve never attended, this is definitely one to add to your bucket list for next year.

  • Thank you Anja! Yes, the snow can be quite a challenge and definitely something we are not escaping any time soon (given the time of year we typically travel) BUT that is ok, fun can be had in any weather
