What Canada has to offer

Canada stands second to none when it comes to adventure travel! There is something for everyone and every season in this vast country of ours.

We have majestic mountains to scale, rich fossil fields to explore, swift rivers to raft, spectacular vistas to cycle, hike, or walk, quiet rivers and oceans to traverse by kayak and canoe, and deep seas or swollen streams where you can spin your tall tale about the one that got away! You don’t have to travel to Hawaii for picturesque helicopter tours or to Arizona for hot air balloon rides that take your breath away.

Does Vancouver’s wet winter get to you? No need to head for a beach destination in the south! Get a group together and head to one of our mountains to play in the sun and snow. No matter where you are in Canada you can find winter fun – alpine ski, cross country ski, snowshoe, skate on one of many outdoor rinks, try your hand at curling, explore by snowmobile, join the fun of a winter carnival.

As soon as we get the first thaw, take the kids to Ontario or Quebec to learn how to tap the red maple trees and make maple syrup! There is no lack of vacation ideas for the whole family that are fun and entertain while they educate at the same time. The gold rush history in Barkerville, BC, Anne of Green Gables in PEI, New Brunswick’s reversing falls caused by the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy, Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island are just the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, did you know that Travel & Leisure Magazine’s list of the Top 10 Islands in the World puts Cape Breton Island as number 3? Breath taking scenery, welcoming people, quaint seaports, and history all await your visit. Newfoundland is another island rich in Canadian culture and history just waiting to be explored. You can take a cruise that circumnavigates the whole island.

Are you one of those people who has an African safari on your bucket list? I’ll bet you’ve never even thought about an Arctic safari! Staying in 5-Star tents you get close to walrus, caribou, muskoxen, whales, and the great white polar bear. You’ll encounter endless landscapes, massive ice, long days under the midnight sun, blooming tundra flowers, and areas of great cultural, historical, and natural significance.

If you haven’t explored your home turf, you don’t know what wonderful treasures you are missing! If you have, share your comments below about what are your favorite sites to visit in Canada.
