+25Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s most quietly extraordinary provinces and one of its best-kept secrets. This ten-day journey moves through the province in a sweeping arc, from the Indigenous cultural heartland and boreal forests of the north to the wild open grasslands, heritage ranch country, and surreal sand dunes of the southwest. It is a trip built for travellers who want to go somewhere genuinely different: somewhere ancient, unhurried, and still surprising.
Indigenous culture is woven through every part of this itinerary. From Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 6,400 years of continuous history, to the Métis homeland at Batoche, to ancient First Nations petroglyphs and the sacred tipi rings of Grasslands National Park, this is a journey through living culture on living land. Nights are spent at properties with genuine character: a full-service boreal resort inside a national park, a boutique grasslands inn steps from the edge of Canada’s wildest prairie, and a sixth-generation working cattle ranch in the Cypress Hills.
Saskatchewan keeps surprising you right until the last day. A tucked away village under some of the darkest skies on Earth. Sand dunes rising twenty metres above the flat prairie. This is the Canada that doesn’t make the brochures and that is precisely why it is worth the journey.

At Radventures we pride ourselves on our flexibility. If you wan’t to enjoy more of this beautiful country before and after your time with us, we’d be more than happy to make any arrangements for you. As for being partly involved in a tour, whilst we can’t make any guarantees about whats possible or not, it’s best that you get in touch with us when you’re considering booking a tour or trip with us and let us know how you want things to work so we can see if we can make it work.
This is a tricky one. We don’t know when other people will book, so it’s hard to know if and when the tour will fill up. Our advice is to book as soon as you’ve made the decision to travel, that way you won’t be disappointed. Most of our service providers have a cutoff date of 2-3 months before departure that we need to advise them to release any excess space, and while we may be able to get these services back after the cutoff date it’s definitely safer to book early while we can still guarantee enough space for you.
You’re in great company! We have two options for solo travellers on our tours – you can join our share program to be matched with another rad solo traveller (of the same sex), or you can purchase the single supplement to have your own private room.
