Due to uncontrolled weather conditions, we are requiring as of May 2007: you must fly out of BBIL the evening before your scheduled Saskatoon flight.
Example:
Your booking a 7 night stay at Black Bear Island Lodge, plan to stay the 8th night in La Ronge or Saskatoon. There will be no scheduled departure flights, from BBIL, prior to 11:30 AM

We will do our best to work with your schedule. As for flights out of the lodge & your connecting flights, we cannot control weather or the charter flying service available to us. Sometimes weather can delay your departure. Because of this, BBIL does not have departure flights from the lodge before 11:30 am. If you have a flight leaving Saskatoon to the states, you MUST schedule your Saskatoon flight for the day following your BBIL departure.
Every person on their flights are insured for $1,000,000.00 (one million dollars)
No, your flight is included in your package. BBIL will schedule your flight, you just need to check in as soon as you arrive in La Ronge.
