Canadian Polar Bear Adventure Holiday
Polar Bear Adventure in Canada. Seven days from GBP3102. See these majestic animals in their natural habitat.
Winnipeg is the geographical centre of Canada. Originally a frontier post for the Hudson Bay Company, this bustling city (now the fourth largest city in Canada) grew to prominence firstly through fur trading and then as a key grain processing centre.
In the far north of the Canadian province of Manitoba lies the remote town and port of Churchill, on the edge of Hudson Bay. Churchill has been named ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’ lying as it does on a key migration route along the Hudson Bay coast between the Nelson River and Cape Churchill.
Each year in the autumn along the west shore of Hudson Bay, male and nonpregnant female polar bears congregate, waiting for the moment when the bay freezes and they can venture out on the sea ice to hunt seals. Pregnant females move to the denning areas, located around 40 miles south of the town area.
As with all natural events of this kind, no guarantees can be given on the number of polar bears that may be seen, but the chance to see these awesome creatures in their natural habitat is certainly an experience to be cherished.

Skiing in British Columbia, Canada with Neilson
With British Columbia preparing itself for this year's Winter Olympics, there has never been a better time to visit and experience some of the best ski and snowboarding conditions in the world. Take a trip to either Whistler or Kicking Horse in 2010 for a truly breathtaking ski holiday.
Whistler
This west coast mountain resort is world-renowned as being North America’s biggest and best - both in area & vertical. The 216km of pistes cover two mountains & are linked by an impressive high-speed lift system. Whether a complete novice or a downhill Olympian, there is an amazing choice of well laid out, maintained & signposted slopes. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced skiers & boarders revel in the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls available.
The accommodation Nelson feature is in one of the two most conveniently located, pedestrianised village areas, each lying at the foot of their respective mountain & a short ten minute walk apart. Both Blackcomb & Whistler Villages are teeming with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars & clubs & there are many exciting on & off slope activities to try out. It’s a party town with a relaxed west coast buzz & a roaring après-ski scene.
Prices from £578pp - Book online and save up to 7%
Kicking Horse
There are greens & blues that weave their way gently down from the top of the Golden Eagle Express Gondola providing ample entertainment for beginners - but more testing terrain is where Kicking Horse really shines fro your ski holiday. Untracked powder in the numerous bowls & glades flanking the steep ridges. Adrenaline junkies can charge down a 4,000 foot ski out, the second longest in Canada, Kicking Horse will no doubt challenge you for the duration of your ski holiday.
There’s a great deal of Canadian history here; right now there’s rapid growth with investment in both lifts & high quality slope side accommodation. The reason for all the investment is the resort’s ideal geographic position for ski holidays- which means it gets ample supplies of light, dry snow - it’s ‘champagne powder heaven’.
Stay here for your ski holiday in Canada for easy access to great slopes, good quality accommodation & top rate restaurants. If you opt for ski or board tuition then video analysis is included for all 6 day ski holiday courses.

If you'd really like to turn this holiday ino the holiday of a lifetime why not consider the Alaskan Cruise Add-On:
Alaskan Cruise - 23 days from £3023
Experience the cruise of a lifetime with this very special add-on. Alaska’s incredible coastline is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. Mighty glaciers reach down to the water’s edge, rugged cliffs rise majestically from the placid waters of vast fjords, and fascinating townships line the shore. A range of amazing creatures, from black bears and caribou to seals and killer whales make their home here, and you’ll have ample chance to spot them.
For more information on either of these holidays call Page & Moy on 0845 358 2639
