It might be more fitting to let the nature get back to you when it comes to holidaying in Canada. As a popular family holiday destination, there are lots of things to do involving wildlife in one of the world’s most beautiful countries. Have you gone wild in Canada lately?
In and around Calgary
If you’re up for adventure, you’ll love the host of Canadian Rockies activities available when you base your accommodation in Calgary, south Alberta. Here you’ll find culture, amazing scenery, wildlife and lots to do.
The beauty of Banff will leave you mesmerised, and you can experience ancient ice at the moving Athabasca Glacier. Visit the Banff Gondola, where an eight-minute gondola will take you to the top of the mountain. If you prefer your views from the air with the chance to spot the birds in the trees, our travel specialists can help to arrange a helicopter flight for sightseeing over Stoney Nakoda Lodge. There are many tours you can take to help you see several exciting Canadian sights in one day. Don’t forget your binoculars as you never know what you might see.
Calgary stampede and beyond
Not so much the perfect event for wildlife watching, but it’s a great activity to start you on your journey. The Calgary Stampede is an exciting annual rodeo festival that lasts 10 days and is held every July in Calgary.
For something less crazy, the Heritage Park offers the chance to enjoy a quieter Canada surrounded by birds and natural beauty. Here you’ll find a town of trains, historic buildings and even a paddlewheeler, all placed there to honour the history of the Canadian West.
Exploring the outdoors in French Canada
Montreal and Quebec are home to some of the best outdoor opportunities in Canada.
Around Montreal, the beauty of the Laurentian Mountains will enchant you, the Monteregian trek and cider tasting will excite you and Montreal itself is an eclectic city with great shopping and a vibrant nightlife. We can even get you out to the Eastern Townships for some wine tasting along the wine route and the gorgeous valleys of Brome-Missisquoi.
Around Québec, you’ll find all the nature-watching opportunities you desire in Québec’s beautiful national parks and wildlife reserves. Our travel specialists can organise tours to get you up close to moose, bears, beavers, hundreds of migratory birds and even humpback whales.
Grin and bear it
You’ll find bears all over the place in Canada, but don’t worry – our super-cautionary travel planners will make some special, extra-safe arrangements to help you see them. Polar bears in Churchill attract thousands of visitors eager to see this almost-extinct creature, while the grizzly bears in the North West still terrify unsuspecting campers.
We can even help arrange a tour to let you photograph black bears in Manitoba’s Riding Mountain National Park – a thrilling wildlife adventure in Canada you won’t want to miss.
