Thrills and spills in cool Canada
FROM bear and whale sightings in summer to winter lake-skating amid soaring mountains, holidays in Canada are jam-packed with spectacular experiences.
This vast country offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the world – think Manitoba’s polar bears and giant pods of belugas, Nova Scotia’s shy moose, and British Columbia’s grizzlies and gatherings of bald eagles.
Not to mention bucket-listtoppers such as thundering Niagara Falls in Ontario, the towering Rockies and even the Northern Lights, dazzling the night skies in the Yukon.
There’s much else besides, from the sophisticated cultural and foodie landscapes of
Quebec, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver to stays in Saskatchewan, where you can soak up the cowboy lifestyle.

WHAT’S YOUR CANADA STYLE?
THERE’S something for everyone to enjoy in Canada. So how might you experience this awesome country?
BY ROAD: A tailor-made flydrive holiday by car, or liberating motorhome, could see you meandering through pretty countryside in Quebec, discovering Ontario’s vast network of lakes or experiencing Celtic cultures in charming Atlantic Canada.
RAIL: Slot in a luxurious journey on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer, with its glass-domed coaches, gourmet food and hospitable hosts, and marvel at snow-capped mountains and wildlife wonders en route to trendy Vancouver. Alternatively, hop between vibrant cities on the east coast. CRUISE: Combine a Rockies stay with a cruise up the famous Inside Passage in search of calving glaciers in Alaska. You could spot migrating whales, dolphins and seals at sea – and bears, caribou, eagles and more on shore. WINTER AND SKI HOLIDAYS: Immerse yourself in Canada’s magical winter wonderland. There’s world-class skiing at Whistler and lovely Tremblant, plus dog-sledding, snowmobiles, outdoor mountain spas and more. And Canada’s charismatic cities come alive with winter spirit.
CITY BREAKS: On a more compact visit, you could be walking through the cobbled streets of old Quebec City, enjoying great dining and museums in Ottawa or arty Montreal, or experiencing marvellous Christmas markets in friendly Toronto.
GUIDED GROUP JOURNEYS: Logistics are taken care of seamlessly by an expert guide, so you can savour every minute as you view famous national parks in Yukon, walk among deep canyons and rushing rivers in the Rockies, or perhaps travel coast-to-coast by train.
Alongside these top holiday styles, there are wilderness experiences giving magnificent wildlife sightings, multi-centre stays and tailored family adventures incorporating
everything from thrilling ziplines to cowboy barbecues.
In fact, Canada offers breathtaking experiences yearround, from Vancouver’s Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring to the Calgary Stampede in July
and the incredibly vivid oranges, yellows and reds of autumn – while winter can be truly spectacular, with skating on
Lake Louise and fabulous views across the Rockies from the top of Sulphur Mountain.
