Canada is One of our favourite places to visit and it opens up in September!

July 28, 2021

Canada is one of the most scenically stunning places I have ever been to and there really is something for everyone to see and do: From stunning glacial lakes and snow-capped mountains to cascading waterfalls, national park paradise and charming cities.

Heading from the west coast into the rugged national parks, adventures include, soaring by helicopter over several glaciers, exploring Victoria’s waters by Zodiac alongside a marine biologist, watching bears hunting during the salmon run, the famous Calgary stampede and riding the iconic Rocky Mountaineeer train through stuning Alpine scenery. Heading east you unwrap Canada’s pleasant mix of old world charm and vibrant cities, where you can admire the mountainous secenery, majestic rivers, world-class attractions, impressive architecture, fine fashion and cuisine and not forgetting the wonderful Niagara Falls.

April to September: Bear watching in

British Columbia and Alberta

Located in Glendale Cove and known to have the largest concentration of grizzly bears in Canada, a stay at Knight Inlet Lodge is a must if you would like to see them right on your doorstep. Or perhaps take the open road and choose a self-drive in Alberta and spot grizzlies and black bears roaming in Waterton Lakes National Park on the drive out to Red Rock Canyon, Jasper National Park on the drive out to Maligne Lake, Banff National Park along the Bow Valley Parkway and on the outskirts of town.

April to October: Great Rail Journeys

Journey through the Canadian Rockies on iconic Rocky Mountaineer and experience exceptional service, exquisite cuisine, comfort and luxury along the way or choose VIA Rail’s ‘The Canadian’ and witness the ever-changing landscape as you embark on a 4 day journey from spectacular Toronto to vibrant Vancouver.

May to October: Whale watching in British Columbia

British Columbia is known as one the best locations in the world for whale watching. Go in search of orcas, humpback whales and dolphins at Telegraph Cove, located at a sheltered inlet at the north end of Vancouver Island or witness the impressive grey whales in Tofino, located on the western edge of Vancouver Island.

 

September to October: Explore the Fall colours in

Québec, Ontario and Atlantic Canada

See the spectacular display of trees changing from green to vibrant autumn oranges, yellows, and reds throughout Canada. From Québec’s Laurentian Mountains and Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, these locations are truly famous for their mesmerising fall foliage displays attracting visitors from all over the world.

October to November: Polar bears in Manitoba

Each year in the fall, along the west shore of Canada’s Hudson Bay, magnificent polar bears gather near Churchill, Manitoba waiting for the bay to freeze over so that they can begin their annual hunt for seals. Not accessible by road, the small northern seaport of Churchill is often referred to as the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’. Witness these magnificent animals and stay in the comfort of the only fly-in Polar Bear Eco-Lodges on the planet.

November to May: Winter sports season in Alberta, Québec and British Columbia

Take a fabulous sleigh ride on Lake Louise, embark on an ice walk discovering frozen waterfalls in Johnston Canyon, go on a dogsledding adventure in Québec or ski in world-renowned Whistler; the choice of winter activities in Canada are endless.
