out for them, as their snow-white coats
offer excellent camouflage later in the
season. If the skies are clear, night-time
tundra excursions might reveal one of
nature’s most exhilarating experiences

• a chance to view the northern lights.
  Although never predictable or promised,
  the aurora often starts as a pale glow in
  the northern sky, then the lights begin to
  flicker and dance in shimmering curtains
  of colour, most typically green but
  occasionally red or violet.

DAY 6
CHURCHILL – WINNIPEG

A highlight this morning is an authentic
dog sled ride. Meet a local musher
and his team, spending time with the
lively and affectionate dogs before
taking turns riding behind them on an
exhilarating trot through the boreal
forest. There’s time for a bit of shopping
or an optional helicopter tour over
the tundra before we depart. After a
farewell lunch, fly back to Winnipeg,
where a final reception concludes
our adventure.

DAY 7
WINNIPEG

After breakfast, transfer to the airport
for flights home.
