"What an amazing, unique Manitoba experience! I had such a wonderful time with Matt & his awesome team of guides! We sipped hot chocolate by the fire, told stories, ate a yummy dinner of split pea soup and bannock and made maple syrup taffy. We explored the trails by snowshoe, learned the ins and outs of setting up our hot tent and learned some great practical outdoor skills. Matt and his team are down to earth, friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this adventure to anyone wanting to try winter camping or just having a full day of fun outside!"

"We had a wonderful time on our canoeing tour. It was very well organized, fun and safe. Wilderland partnered with locals to offer us an opportunity to learn more about their Indigenous culture as well as the history of the Voyageurs. It was a beautiful day spent in a beautiful environment."
