The Itinerary
1 | SASKATOON, SK
Welcome to Saskatchewan! Upon arrival, your driver will take you to the James Hotel in downtown Saskatoon. Spend the afternoon exploring the neighbourhood, whether reflecting at the Saskatchewan River, shopping in Midtown Plaza, or people-watching at a sidewalk café. Accommodations are at the James Hotel.
2 | SASKATOON, SK
This morning, you’ll visit Wanuskewin Heritage Park, which has been a gathering place for Northern Plains Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. A proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wanuskewin is home to the longest-running archaeology site in Canada with artefacts dating back 6,400 years. You’ll be welcomed to the park with tea and a smudging ceremony, then participate in a demonstration of the practical and cultural importance of tipi raising. Next, you’ll meet the park’s bison herd – an iconic symbol of the prairies that has come from the brink of extinction to saving local grasslands. You’ll learn why bison are seen as the spiritual centre of life on the Northern Plains, with a long history of providing food, shelter and clothing. After exploring Wanuskewin, travel to Black Fox Farm and Distillery, where you’ll learn the art of spirit distillation and taste how the land influences flavour. Accommodations are at the James Hotel.
3 | NORTHERN SK
This morning, your driver will take you to La Ronge (4 hrs), where a seaplane will be waiting to fly you to Twin Falls Lodge, located in the boreal forest of northern Saskatchewan. Ideal for adventure-seekers, the lodge is surrounded by four portage lakes, hiking trails, and historic attractions. After settling into your private cabin, you’ll have time to explore the lodge’s many activity options before gathering for cocktails and appetizers. Dinner will include a special guest – either a First Nations Elder or local artist. Accommodations are at Twin Falls Lodge.
4-5 | NORTHERN SK
Over the next two days, you’ll keep busy with several outdoor amusements. Head onto the lake for a day of fishing with a local Cree guide, complete with a hearty shore lunch. Embark on a full-day cultural excursion, also with a Cree guide, where you’ll see ancient pictographs, marvel at the majestic Nistowiak Falls, and visit the Holy Trinity Anglican Church – the oldest standing building in Saskatchewan. Each evening, you’ll return to the lodge for a decadent meal before relaxing in your cabin. Accommodations are at Twin Falls Lodge.
6 | SASKATOON, SK
After a restful sleep, it’s time to fly back to La Ronge. From here, you’ll be driven to the James Hotel to deposit your belongings. Then, walk to the nearby Remai Modern Art Museum, which sits on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Here, you’ll be treated to a private curated tour, where you’ll see the largest collection of Picasso lithographs in the world. After seeing these masterpieces, it’s time to create your own: you’ll learn how to make a lithograph and print, enjoying a glass of bubbly and a snack as you work. The remainder of the afternoon is at your leisure. Accommodations are at the James Hotel.
7 | SASKATOON, SK
Your driver will take you to the Saskatoon Airport to catch your flight home. Over the past few days, you’ve experienced a sampling of Saskatchewan’s vibrant personality – but there will be many more adventures waiting when you return.
