Deep in the Canadian wilderness, where Manitoba’s boreal forest meets the remote shores of Hudson Bay, travellers can follow tracks through the snow in search of one of North America’s most elusive predators.
Adventure World has opened 2028 bookings for its Cloud Wolves of the Kaska Coast expedition after more than 65% of its 2027 spaces were snapped up. With a maximum of just 16 guests on each trip, the 10-day adventure offers a rare opportunity to track wild grey wolves alongside expert guides, trackers and researchers.
Into wolf country
The journey is based at the remote, fly-in Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge in Manitoba, placing travellers within one of North America’s significant wolf habitats.
Rather than simply hoping for a wildlife sighting, guests head into the landscape with specialists who teach them how to read tracks, interpret wolf behaviour and better understand the ecosystem these predators inhabit.
Travellers can also contribute to citizen science through wildlife monitoring, adding another layer of purpose to the experience.
‘Guests don’t simply observe wildlife, they learn to read tracks, interpret behaviours and even contribute to citizen science through wildlife monitoring,’ said Adventure World North America Product Manager Kristy Prince.
‘It’s a truly immersive experience, and with 2027 departures already selling strongly, we’re excited to now offer 2028 departures.’
Two seasons, two adventures
Cloud Wolves of the Kaska Coast operates in March and July, with each season revealing a dramatically different side of northern Manitoba.
March takes travellers into snow-covered boreal forest during the wolves’ breeding season, with the possibility of the Northern Lights illuminating the night sky.
By July, the landscape has transformed into flowering tundra. July departures also offer travellers the opportunity to journey alongside National Geographic photographer, writer and storyteller Jad Davenport.
With more than three decades spent documenting remote places, Davenport brings extensive field experience to the expedition, offering insights into wildlife photography, visual storytelling and working in challenging wilderness environments. His work has appeared in publications including National Geographic, LIFE, Outside and Audubon.
More than a wildlife encounter
The expedition reflects a growing interest in wildlife travel that goes deeper than ticking an animal off a sightings list.
Adventure World’s Travel with Purpose philosophy focuses on journeys designed to help preserve cultures, support communities and protect wildlife and natural environments. On this trip, the involvement of local guides, researchers and wildlife monitoring gives travellers greater context around the wolves and the landscape they depend upon.
The 10-day Cloud Wolves of the Kaska Coast expedition is priced from AU$30,699 per person twin share. The itinerary includes return flights from Winnipeg to Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, meals and beverages, daily guided wildlife excursions and interpretive presentations from expert guides.
With limited departures and only 16 places available on each trip, the newly released 2028 season offers adventurous wildlife travellers another chance to experience one of Canada’s wildest landscapes on the trail of its elusive grey wolves.
