Riding Mountain Adventure
Trip Overview
Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) is a diverse and enthralling wilderness that is home to some of Manitoba and Canada’s most iconic wildlife.
This 3,000 sq. km. park atop the Manitoba Escarpment protects three ecosystems: the grasslands, upland boreal and eastern deciduous forests. Home to rolling valleys as well as numerous rivers and lakes, the park is renowned for its stunning landscapes and pristine waterways, particularly the sandy beaches of Clear Lake.
Embark on daily safari drives in search of black bear, moose, wolf, lynx, deer and other Canadian wildlife. Visit the Lake Audy bison enclosure, home to a captive herd of 40 plains bison, and learn about the reintroduction of these once absent mammals into their native prairie land. Get to know the charming town of Wasagaming located on the south shore of Clear Lake on a picturesque walk, where you can explore provincial heritage sites, shops and restaurants.
Venture through the rugged and beautiful heart of Manitoba in search of its wondrous wildlife.

The Experience
An epic wildlife adventure through the heart of Manitoba.
Day 01
Arrival to Winnipeg
I’ve just arrived in Winnipeg and am so excited for my Riding Mountain Adventure! Tonight I’ll be spending the night at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, which is just a quick walk from the Winnipeg airport. I check into my room and have some time to settle before heading to my scheduled meet and greet with my Frontiers North Interpretive Guide and the rest of the tour group to go over our itineraries in more detail and to ask any last minute questions.
Day 02
Wildlife Safari in Riding Mountain National Park
Following an early breakfast, we depart Winnipeg on a three-and-a-half-hour drive to Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP). The drive takes us from beautiful prairie skies to the rolling hills of the Manitoba Escarpment. We arrive in Riding Mountain via the historic East Gate and enjoy an introduction to the park. Prior to checking into our bed and breakfast we have a chance to enjoy an evening safari in the park - our first chance to search for moose, black bear and other wildlife.
Our accommodation for our time in Riding Mountain is the quaint family-run Honeycomb Bed and Breakfast located just outside the national park.
Day 03
RMNP Bison Enclosure
We wake up to a bright sunny morning and are ready for a wildlife adventure! After breakfast, our group climbs aboard our bus and head out on a morning safari in Riding Mountain National Park. The park is home to many species of animals, but our time here is spent seeking out black bears, moose and bison.
After our morning safari around the park, we meet with a Parks Canada Interpreter at a look out point located inside the captive bison enclosure to learn about the history of the enclosure and it’s significance to the park. Our next stop is a family run café for lunch.

Day 04
Final RMNP Safari
Our day starts off with a last morning safari through Riding Mountain National Park to spot wildlife, and then we return to the Honeycomb for a full breakfast.
Although we’re sad to leave the beauty of Riding Mountain behind, after breakfast we board the bus for our return to Winnipeg where we’re spending the night at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel.
Day 05
Depart Winnipeg
My adventure has come to an end, and I head home with hundreds – if not thousands– of photos to commemorate my incredible wildlife safari in Manitoba.
