3. Northern Lights and Winter Nights adventure in Churchill

Four nights of guided activities in Churchill — see the Northern Lights, snowshoe, dog sled, visit a museum, and dine on the frozen Churchill River.

“We completed a 7-day itinerary at the end of February and found everything to be flawlessly organized. The daily activities offered rich cultural insights, and the aurora viewings were breathtaking. Having previously missed the Northern Lights in Iceland, I was cautiously hopeful for this trip. We were thrilled to see the aurora every night, with two nights being particularly impressive, and we even witnessed a meteor streak across the sky. The package included everything, with the only additional expenses being for drinks and souvenirs. They covered all aspects, from transfers and delightful meals to simple physical activities like a short hike and fat-tire biking. The gear rental was very handy. We had an incredible time and are already planning to return for polar bear and whale watching. Our guide Jeff from Frontiers North was exceptional, along with Ross, Alex, and Ray, who generously shared their knowledge and expertise.”— P4361AManitak

4. Murder mystery detective experience in Winnipeg

Self-guided audio adventure through downtown Winnipeg — solve a murder case at ten locations while walking or driving the mapped route.

“I purchased this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, who is a fan of true crime. We both enjoy board games and have participated in several murder mystery games that we thoroughly enjoyed. This interactive experience within the city was a fantastic time for us! We're looking forward to trying the walking version when the weather improves.”— stephaniebO8666MX

5. Churchill polar bear viewing and subarctic wildlife adventure

Five days, hotel-based in Churchill, including two days on Tundra Buggy® tours to observe polar bears and local wildlife.

“The trip with FN was incredible and exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Alex, was excellent and shared a wealth of information. The accommodations and meals were also very good. Despite being in the extremely cold tundra, I strongly recommend this experience.”— 214tina

6. Self-guided audio tour of The Forks Historic Site

Explore The Forks Historic Site at your own pace with an audio tour — highlights include historical buildings, parks, and the Red River, narrated via your smartphone.

“The self-guided audio tour was excellent, allowing for pre-download so that data was not needed during the experience. It functioned seamlessly and provided valuable insights. The ability to pause for coffee breaks was a plus. The tour automatically recognized points of interest and offered relevant commentary. I also tried two other tours, Assiniboine Park and the Winnipeg Theatre District, which were equally impressive. It was a good value for the money.”— mylesripley
