Manitoba Holidays
Manitoba is where Canada's heart beats. This wonderful province in the centre of the country is brimming with natural beauty and spectacular scenery, not least of which is its namesake – Lake Manitoba. Lonely Planet has recognised Manitoba as one of its Best in Travel Regions in 2019 for its incredible culture and fauna. Home to the vibrant city of Winnipeg and several other notable towns, there is something for summer and winter holidays here. Delight in a close encounter with the magical beluga whales that come in their thousands to the Hudson Bay during the warmer months, or watch the mystical Northern Lights dancing across the dark winter night skies.
