SAMPLE ITINERARY (CUSTOMIZABLE)
Day 1: Arrive in Saskatoon.
Arrive in Saskatoon and check into your hotel exploring the city centre by foot. There is a tremendous variety of craft breweries and boutique restaurants using fresh local ingredients in the city. Saskatchewan is, after all, the breadbasket of Canada and the city’s food creators have infused local ingredients into their menus to create a wide and varied choice. The striking new Remai Modern museum sits on the riverbank with stunning views of the South Saskatchewan River and prairie skies. Spanning four levels, Remai Modern has 11 gallery spaces over three floors, learning studios, a theatre, restaurant, store, lounges, play areas and numerous multi-use spaces. Join an informative guided walk through the gallery arranged through the front desk.
Overnight: Saskatoon
Day 2: Exploring Saskatoon highlights
This morning drive to Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a National Historic Site located on the northern edge of the city. This Northern Plains Indigenous Interpretive Site is home to over 6,400 years of history and a truly unique cultural experience. The Heritage Park is a window into a part of Canada’s history that remains little known, and a link to the past unlike any other National Historic Site in Canada. Wanuskewin’s uniqueness is based on the composition of human habitation, hunting and gathering, and spirituality, all in one place. Virtually every ancient Indigenous group recognized across the Great Plains visited this location year-after-year and the result is a remarkable complete and intact record of cultural development in the region over that time span. The area contains some of the most exciting archaeological finds in North America, many of which pre-date the pyramids of Egypt. The archaeological resources of Wanuskewin are exceptional and among the finest examples of human occupation of the Great Plains of North America. Today, the site gives us the opportunity to delve into the past and discover what life was like for these nomadic hunter-gatherer peoples. During the summer months, the Prairie Lily Sightseeing Cruises invites you to a one-hour evening sail through the heart of Saskatoon on the South Saskatchewan River. A narrated commentary provides information on the city’s sights and history.
Overnight: Saskatoon
Day 3: Saskatoon departure and the Manitou Hot Springs
Often compared to the Dead Sea of Israel, the healing waters of Little Manitou Lake are legendary for their natural buoyancy, mineral-rich properties, and curative powers. Manitou Springs Resort & Mineral Spa is among the top spas of Canada. Located 120 km from Saskatoon in the heart of the prairies, this European-style spa and hotel is one of its kind in Canada. The scenic drive through the prairies to Manitou and back makes for a leisurely day and provides an opportunity to try the excellent resort restaurant.

Please advise our reservations staff if you will be bringing additional items such as a cane, walker or wheelchair. You may also bring one small soft-sided carry-on bag, which should easily fit into the overhead shelf of the coach. Each person is responsible for his/her own carryon luggage.
