Canada Holidays

Canada is a year round destination – offering a different experience every season. Our wide range of trips to Canada means you can choose the type of holiday that suits you. For those who enjoy the freedom of a self-drive holiday, this is one of the most popular ways to explore. Travel at your own pace, stopping and exploring wherever and whenever you like. There are scenic routes across the country from Nova Scotia’s beautiful Cabot Trail to the spectacular Icefields Parkway in Alberta, or cross the Arctic Circle on the Dempster Highway.

Alternatively, let someone else do the driving on an escorted holiday while you sit back and take in the views. Enjoy the expertise and enthusiasm of your guide who will ensure you experience the very best of Canada together with other like-minded travellers. Our collection of escorted tours includes wildlife holidays, walking trips and northern lights adventures. Another great option is an independent holiday. Often travelling on a range of transport such as ferry, rail or boat, with logistics taken care of you can plan your own activities and excursions.

With such diversity Canada encourages a repeat visit – rather than trying to see everything in one holiday, we recommend focusing on one or two provinces at a time, and exploring them at a leisurely pace. The mountains and wildlife of BC and Alberta are popular for first time visitors, whilst Ontario and Québec provide an equally beautiful but very different landscape of forests and lakes. Head off the beaten track to the wild Yukon or experience the quirky charm of the Atlantic provinces.

Canada wildlife holidays are hugely popular, with arguably bears and whales being the biggest draw. From the mighty polar bear in Churchill, Manitoba to British Columbia’s rare Kermode bear, Canada’s bears are a sight to behold. Look out for black bears roaming the forests or take in the spectacular sight of grizzlies fishing for salmon. Offshore marvel at the world’s largest population of humpbacks congregating along the Newfoundland coast, spot minkes in the St Lawrence River or kayak with orcas around the islands of British Columbia.
