The way you experience Canada is yours to decide. From the depths of its coastal rainforests to the snow-tipped summits of its mountains, the frenetic streets of its cosmopolitan cities to the brightly painted clapboard houses lining its sleepy fishing villages, Canada can form the ideal backdrop to your trip, whatever your interests and travel style.
Our specialists have traversed the length and breadth of this super-sized country, hand-picking stays and experiences that will appeal to nature lovers, city dwellers, food connoisseurs, and the culturally curious. You could stay in a mountain lodge to hike trails reached only by helicopter, awaken your tastebuds on a food tour of Québec City that takes you beyond poutine, or set sail with a Kwakwaka’wakw guide around Vancouver Island’s coast to spot orcas and grizzly bears while you learn about First Nations traditions.
Whether it’s your first time visiting the country or you’re returning for more, each day brings something new. Our specialists will listen to what you want from your travels and craft a trip that encompasses the experiences that speak to you, so you can find your Canada.
