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.

    I am proudly Canadian for several heartfelt reasons:

    Born and bred on Vancouver Island, BC — I grew up on Canada’s west coast, with a deep, lifelong connection to its landscapes and culture.

    A champion of Canadian tourism, I left a corporate job in Edmonton (and a stint in Germany) in 2002 to help build EH Canada Travel with my brother. I spent over a decade traveling coast-to-coast, researching, writing, photographing, and supporting local Canadian communities.

    Environmental and outdoor advocate—I am a wilderness backpacker, camping lover, snowboarding, golf, photography enthusiast, and regular voice on CBC and Global and other media talking up Canada’s great outdoors.

    Deep commitment to “boots‑on‑the‑ground” research—Colin and I visited 1200+ communities, explored thousands of parks and trails, and created Canada’s largest independent travel site out of sheer passion and perseverance.

    In short: I am proudly Canadian because I was born here, built my career here, championed Canadian tourism tirelessly, explored coast-coast-coast and I live and breathe Canada’s wild spirit every single day.

    Happy Canada Day!

    The capelin rolling in Newfoundland and Labrador is an event that always sparks a lot of excitment. These small silvery fish arrive in abundance in June or July bringing with them a host of seabirds, whales and other marine life that follow the capelin as a food source. The arrival of the capelin feels like the kick-off to summer and many beaches around the province provide spawning grounds for these little fish. In Newfoundland and Labrador, word spreads like wildfire when 'the capelin are rolling'. People flock in droves to beaches to try and catch sight of or to actually catch some of these wriggly fish. They are a traditional food source and I remember as a child my parents also using them to fertilize our lawn. According to the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador, there are over 30 different coves across the province with capelin in their name, demonstrating the importance of this fish to the culture of Newfoundland.On a kayak trip out of Chance Cove, Trinity Bay on Canada Day, I was lucky enough to witness schools of capelin darting this way and that underneath my boat. They move as a shimmering mass and it is mesmerizing to watch. The weather conditions that day meant I was able to paddle in close to shore to have an excellent view of the capelin in the shallow, clear water. I could see the females washing up on the beach to lay their eggs in gravel that had already been fertilized by the males. We are fortuante to witness this annual spectacle in Newfoundland and being in a kayak provided a really interesting and not commonly seen perspective on the capelin roll.
