Seal River Canoeing Adventure in Manitoba, Canada
14 nights
Polar bears, beluga whales and a depth of wilderness few can comprehend characterize this waterway. The Seal River winds its way through the venerable landscape of the subarctic before it spills into Hudson Bay.
On the banks of the Seal River, you will camp on ancient eskers, age-old beds of sediment left behind by retreating glaciers. These eskers also allow for unequalled hiking opportunities that will let you explore this fascinating landscape.
As well on this trip, you may well sight seals (go figure), caribou, wolves, bald eagles, and-an experience you will not want to miss-beluga
whales.

From the Canadian Heritage Rivers System website:
Named for the harbour seals (normally marine creatures) that are found up to 200 km upstream from Hudson Bay, Manitoba's Seal River rushes through open spruce forest, tundra, and endless, boiling rapids.
Too rugged for even the early fur traders, the river's remote vastness remains home to spectacular wildlife such as caribou, wolverine, polar bear and 3,000 beluga whales that summer in its estuary on Hudson Bay.
Magnificent eskers, some over 100 km long, crisscross this pristine and powerful waterway, providing river travellers with dramatic views, and easy passage for the 400,000 strong Kaminuriak caribou herd.
The Sayisi Dene, descendants of the people who assisted Samuel Hearne on his historic overland trek to the Arctic coast, continue their ancestors' traditional use and reverence of the river. One of Canada's wildest wilderness rivers.
