A Birding Adventure in Southwestern Manitoba: For the avid bird watcher this area is ideal in all four seasons. A bird checklist is available to our guests. Plan to join Dennis Fast, a Manitoba expert birder and wildlife photographer, on a two-day birding adventure in the Turtle Mountains, Whitewater Lake and Melita prairie habitat areas in mid-May.

All tours start in Winnipeg, exploring the Oak Hammock Marsh Sanctuary and the Red and Assiniboine River Valleys. The tour programme is set up in two parts...southern Manitoba tours & Churchill tours ... and these tours merge perfectly to form exciting 12-15 day tours that let you experience all of Manitoba's ecosystems ... each offering very diverse birdlife. Caribou, Arctic Fox, Red Fox, Arctic Hare, and Lemmings, are other wildlife we often encounter.

White Whale Lodge enables a superb opportunity to view Polar Bears, other wildlife, the spectacular Northern Lights and sunrises/sunsets. We offer great food and fellowship throughout this special safari. Tours are led by professional naturalists.
