Here are a few reviews of our many adventures in Manitoba:
“A beautiful country, wonderful people, great museums, polar bears and other arctic critters, they are all there in Lords of the North. I have wanted to meet the bears for several decades and Road Scholar gave me a fantastic introduction. This was my first visit to Canada, but it won’t be my last.”
— Sharon from Columbus, GA
“This program gives the participant an up close view of the Arctic and its inhabitants, both wildlife and native people. There probably is no better place to view polar bears in their natural state.”
– Melvyn from Fair Oaks, CA
Unique programs designed for travelers age 50+!
Explore Manitoba as the polar bears of Hudson Bay gather to await the sea ice that signals winter’s return. Alongside a leading authority on this precious population, journey onto the tundra aboard specially fitted vehicles to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Lectures, field trips and museum visits will help you understand not only the life of the polar bear, but also the challenges of global climate change, local conservation issues and the future of the arctic ecosystem. We also offer a program to see the Northern Lights of Manitoba.
