Triple Canadian Adventure
Experience Canada's North: Fishing, Culture and Wilderness
10-day all-inclusive package
$3,700 per person (plus tax)
A visit to Red Lake, Ontario is a perfect way to experience Canada's North country and this unique adventure package lets you access it in three ways - by road, by boat, and by floatplane - all in one fantastic trip! The adventure starts from and returns to the Winnipeg International Airport in Manitoba. Cost per person is in Canadian funds, plus 12 percent taxes. The cost includes airfare (starting in Winnipeg), accommodations, meals, licenses and all necessary equipment. You need only bring your personal clothing, cameras and binoculars. Luggage is limited to 40 pounds.
Drive-In Resort
The adventure begins by flying aboard Bearskin Airlines from Winnipeg to Red Lake. You will be met at the airport by a representative and given a short tour of the Municipality of Red Lake. Three of the four trip dates will see you check into Howey Bay resort, a drive-in resort located just across the bay from the picturesque town of Red Lake. During your three day stay here you will have the opportunity to participate in such activities as fishing, golfing, swimming, shopping, sightseeing, and wildlife viewing (large black bears, eagles, ravens, and gulls) at the local land fill sight. A day-long program at the Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre will provide an exciting background to the area's history, native culture and Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view a world-famous rock collection in nearby Balmertown, site of the world's richest Gold Mine.
Trips in July would include the weekend-long Norseman Floatplane Festival. Red Lake was the busiest airport in the world following the Gold Rush of 1926. The festival celebrates this history and also the famous Norseman bushplanes still flying today. Wilderness activities are featured more in August at the resort, including accompanying staff while they replenish baits for black bear hunters.

Boat-In Resort
Your next three days start with a beautiful 32 km boat ride amid the islands and narrows of Red Lake to Bow Narrows Camp. Access here is by water only. Bow Narrows Camp is all about great Canadian fishing and fine dining. Visitors will be given a guided fully-equiped fishing trip for northern pike and walleye complete with a Canadian shore lunch where you will catch the fish and camp staff turns it into a mouth-watering meal. The Red Lake area boasts some of the finest freshwater fishing in North America. Participants will also be taken on early morning and evening wildlife-spotting safaris to see moose, bear, aquatic mammals, and birds. Finally, they will be taken on hikes to see the remnants of the 1926 Gold Rush, which was the third largest in the world.

Fly-In Resort
 | The final three days is spent at Viking Island Lodge, a fly-in camp on Douglas Lake. When you fly here aboard the legendary Norseman Floatplane you enter Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, one of the largest wilderness parks in Ontario. Lodge staff will share their knowledge about the park, the Canadian Shield where it is located, and the Boreal Forest that surrounds it. Visitors will also be given guided fishing and photography trips and can have time to explore beautiful Douglas lake. The atmosphere of Viking Island is truly unique. Many of its log buildings were expertly crafted from local trees 60 years ago by the father of the two brothers who still operate the camp and its outposts. Cooking is still done on a wood-buring cook stove in the lodge and the smell of sour-dough bread rising in the kitchen will never be forgotten. Ten days after it all began you will fly via Norseman floatplane over the scenic waters of Red Lake to catch the flight back to Winnipeg. If you choose, you may extend your stay. Perhaps take a canoe trip through the beautiful and pristine Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. |
