Where to go in Canada?

For wildlife, visit British Columbia

British Columbia is one of the best viewing areas in Canada, home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, six National Parks and over 400 provincial parks there is no wonder that the wildlife is in abundance. Imagine being so close to a bear that you can almost reach out and touch it, or a whale breaching the waters. These are the kind of once in a lifetime wildlife experiences you can expect in British Columbia.

For incredible landscapes, visit Alberta

Stunning glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains, cascading waterfalls and a national park paradise with ranches offering amazing wildlife experiences, are just part of Alberta's beauty. Home to Lake Louise, one of Canada’s most photographed sites, where in the winter the frozen lake turns into an ice rink and in the summer turns into the infamous hue of turquoise – a perfect spot to canoe.

For coastal beauty, visit Atlantic Canada

Atlantic Canada is home to dramatic coastlines, quaint seaside towns and picture-perfect lighthouses. The world-famous Bay of Fundy, with the highest tides in the world, can also be found here. The four provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland & Labrador and New Brunswick combine together to create a unique region. Embrace the beauty of the Canadian Maritimes on a self-drive tour or a wildlife holiday.
