Canada Vacations

As the world’s second largest country in sheer size, Canada’s unique majesty is something that smaller countries cannot touch. Your Canada vacation can be custom designed to make sure that you get the experience you expect – from quiet mountain retreats to exciting outdoor adventure to 24-hour nonstop city life, the beauty of Canada will embrace your heart, with a French accent on love!

Canada is a land of endless sky and a vast frontier, disturbed only by the steep rise of alpine slopes and cozy mountain hotels. In Canada, polar bears frolic on vast glaciers and grizzly bears wade in clear streams. White water rafting is a thrill for many visitors, while others enjoy the laid-back harmony of a scenic drive along the craggy shores of the Atlantic Maritime provinces.

Canada is known for its natural habitats, and not just ones for the moose, whales and caribou. In places like Banff, humans enjoy getting back to basics by exploring the open country, cowboy-style on horseback, sometimes spotting herds of buffalo. Other flocks of people enjoy nesting in cosmopolitan cities like the French-influenced Montreal and Quebec City, the British-influenced Victoria and international cities like Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto.

Whether you enjoy hitting the trails, hitting the links, or hitting the town, you’ll definitely be in your element when you hit the road to Canada.

Alberta’s gorgeous Great Plains resemble the backdrop to an epic Hollywood movie, and in fact have often served in that capacity. Life there is simple, where the open range is dotted with ranches dedicated to horseback riding, hiking and fishing. As you enjoy a down-home meal picked from the land, you can hear stories about Alberta’s rich history of mysterious cultures and natural remnants from the days of the dinosaurs. Travel to Alberta and experience it for yourself.

Ontario

Ontario is a province that’s just as far south as Northern California, and just as far north as Sweden. It’s where there are 500,000 lakes and rivers, and one in every six square miles is a protected wilderness park. It’s also home to Ottawa and Toronto, Canada’s capital and largest city respectively. The truth is that Ontario defies being boxed in, which makes it especially popular. Niagara Falls has long been the honeymoon capital of the east coast. With flights into Buffalo Niagara Airport, it is easy to get to, and easy to keep falling in love over and over again.

Quebec

Just across the northern border of New England lies Quebec, a province that’s the undisputed hub of French culture in North America, yet is three times as big as France itself! It’s here where great European armies fought to determine the history of the continent, where 10 different aboriginal nations have made their homes and 27 national parks have carved out space for Mother Nature.

Fun Fact: The Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello Hotel is the world’s largest log cabin. Opened in 1930, this architectural wonder originally required 10,000 logs, 500,000 hand-slit cedar roof shakes and about 100 miles of wooden molding. The resort features a six-sided, 66-foot high stone fireplace and rafters showcasing 60-foot logs.
