Manitoba: Polar Bear Adventure
 Manitoba's vast open spaces are filled with unique wonders, stories, and adventures on this awe-inspiring journey to the far reaches of the Canadian wilderness. Embrace your inner explorer on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Manitoba in "Polar Bear Season," when these great white carnivores lumber across the plains toward Hudson Bay to prepare for winter...
One of our most popular trips provides you with a rare look into the world of the polar bear in their natural habitat. Late October and November is polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, the start of the long-awaited migration of these great white creatures. Over icy rivers and across the subarctic plains, they make their way towards the coast and the seal-rich waters of the Hudson Bay to fulfill their need for food for the winter ahead. Normally elusive, these bears are plentiful in this remote location of northern Canada at this time of the year, giving travelers seeking an up-close look at arctic life an exciting glimpse into their world. You'll stay in a cozy lodge where family-style meals, warm camaraderie and two-footed locals share stories about Hudson Bay history, past and present, in front of a crackling fire. You'll also learn more about Manitoba and early fur-trading history during a special private evening with the Hudson's Bay Company of Adventurers at the Manitoba Museum... at a dog sledding demonstration... on a dog sled ride... and much more. |

A Week In... Nova Scotia
 This is a journey of contrasts – between lively port cities and remote fishing villages, rugged headlands and rolling vineyards, storied forts and quiet trails. But what ties it all together is the enduring sense of place and pride that defines Nova Scotia.
From Halifax to Digby, each day brings you deeper into the heart of the region, culminating in a farewell dinner where the week's experiences come full circle. Whether it's your first time here or a return to familiar shores, this journey invites you to explore Nova Scotia not just as a destination, but as a living story – told in the stories of its people, the rhythm of its tides, and the beauty of its coastal light. Cradled by the Atlantic and shaped by centuries of seafaring, migration, and cultural exchange, Nova Scotia is a place where history isn't confined to museums – it lives in the salt air, the rhythms of coastal life, and the warmth of its communities. From rugged cliffs to colorful harbors, this is Canada's East Coast at its most soulful, where each experience feels both timeless and deeply personal. |

Canadian Maritimes
 Time stands still in the Canadian Maritimes... preserving a way of life that honors the land and sea – and a cultural mix of early French, Irish, Scottish and English influences.
Halifax invites reflection with gracious Victorian parks and gardens. Fishing hamlets in Nova Scotia celebrate their rich seafaring heritage. Diverse cultural influences are chronicled in Lunenburg; in Acadian rug making traditions that produced "talking" works of art chronicling the struggles of pioneer families. Culinary specialties are on the menu from fresh lobster on Prince Edward Island, to a sturgeon caviar tasting in Saint John, to a salmon smoking demonstration in Liscomb Mills. Throughout New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, immerse in the lure and lore of this down-to-earth, mystical world of mountain lakes, eagles, whales, fishermen, and the sea. |
