Winnipeg Waterways is floating slowly into the back-to-school season!

There are only a few weeks left in our season, so now is a great time to get out on the water before the leaves start falling.

Book a tour, bring a group, or get your school group out for a day on the river. Workplaces, this is your sign to take advantage of the warm weather and get your crew out on the water before summer slips away.

We’ll also be announcing more special events and ways to get involved soon. If you haven’t signed up for our newsletter yet, it’s a great way to stay up to date on everything we have going on.

Winnipeg, it’s Water Bus time.
I’t’s been a season like no other. We’ve been battling water levels and even more exciting water speeds on the Assiniboine. We’ve been keeping busy running tours from The Forks, but we’re excited to announce the start of the 2026 Water Bus season. We recently started seeing a reprieve from high waters and we’re so glad to be bringing back this much loved service. Read on for everything you need to know.

Water bus will begin service Saturday, August 1. We will serve 5 docks with scheduled service from 1pm-830pm. Operations run 6 days a week: Wednedsay–Monday (Closed Tuesdays)

This is how it works
Simply show up on the dock and wait for our new Water Bus to arrive. All ticket sales happen on board the boat. Credit, Debit & Tap Accepted. No Pre-Purchase Required. We’re also offering unlimited passes for frequent riders!

Each location will be visited according to a schedule. The schedule will be posted at each location. Find the full schedule, fare information, and a live map on our website.

We are putting more docks in the water. You get one guess what we’re doing with them. 🚌
