DISCOVER CANADA
There are so many epic trips you can make in this unspoilt land
Head north for unspoilt nature, amazing wildlife and epic railway journeys
WHETHER whale-watching on the coast or uncovering sapphire lakes in the Rockies, you’ll make a mountain of memories in Canada.
This epic land is home to some of earth’s most beautiful secret places – and opens up a host of bucket-list experiences.
As international travel prepares to reopen, why not make a date for a chance to sight a mighty orca, spot Baloo-style grizzly bears and golden eagles, or watch polar bears sprint across glistening glaciers?
Not forgetting the opportunity to fly low over the sky-clawing Rocky Mountains, gaze up at skies overflowing with stars – and sometimes the Northern Lights – paddle a canoe, pan for gold and enjoy a smorgasbord of fabulous Canadian seafood.
The west coast is home to the five-star
Rocky Mountaineer train journey, which slices through hidden canyons, passing peaks and plunging gorges – and slows as elk, moose and bears come into view.
Feast on the glorious, unfolding panorama, as you breath in the intoxicating scent of the forest and listen to spellbinding stories.
The thrills keep on coming if you then board a cruise ship bound for Alaska, a vast and unspoiled ice kingdom of snow-capped mountains, glaciers and icebergs in glassy shades of blue.
There’s nothing quite as memorable as the sight of an enormous humpback whale coming to the surface alongside for air or, indeed, the sound of a glacier calving, sending a hush through the whole ship.
Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada are perfect for off-the-beaten-track fly-drives and motorhome holidays, taking you on quiet roads to wonderful waterfalls, including stupendous Niagara. Here, a trip on the Hornblower boat up to the face of the Horseshoe Falls is a must.
The iconic, 185-mile Cabot Trail, in Nova Scotia, is ranked as one of the world’s most scenic routes. Drive in a loop around Cape Breton, touching stunning beaches, sighting whales and savouring highland scenery, fabulous seafood and Celtic festivals along the way.
Any visit to the awe-inspiring, uncrowded spaces of friendly, familiar Canada will bring fresh wonder to your life – and now’s the time to start planning your holiday.
