There’s no better way to view Canada’s magnificent mammals than a wildlife viewing trip added on to your train trip. Our Canadian Insiders take the guesswork out of wildlife viewing, helping you choose the adventures where you’ll see the spectacular sights you want — like polar bear safaris, grizzly bear lodge stays, and numerous whale watching itineraries. We can personalize your Canadian vacation to suit you.
The Inuit people of Canada’s far north call the polar bear Nanuk, meaning ‘Animal Worthy of Great Respect.’ Others say ‘Titan of the Tundra.' This is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Once a year, grizzly bears gather along B.C.'s coast where the rivers meet the sea to gorge themselves on sockeye and coho during the fall salmon run. This is the most exciting and easiest time to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
The sight of a colossal whale breaching the waters off Canada’s west coast is something to behold. The Pacific Ocean is home to orcas, humpbacks, grey whales, and more. The best way to see this rich marine life is on a whale watching tour.
Witness beluga whales as they play just metres from the shore during their annual migration. You can see them from a boat or kayak, and from various vantage points along the coast.
Expert guides and lodges show you how to appreciate animals in the wild responsibily with minimal impact. The passion of these guides is inspiring and you’ll carry this with you in future travels.
From the bald eagles in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, to the wild foxes of Newfoundland, Canada’s wildlife is abundant and will provide suprising moments to reconnect to nature.
You know that friendly character you met in the local café who told you to visit that well-kept regional secret which turned out to be the best part of your holiday? That's us.
By this stage, you're already having dreams about mountains, moose and maple trees. We combine your personal preferences with our insider knowledge to save you hours of pointless internet trawling.
You’ll receive the inside scoop before you even leave home. And you can relax during your vacation because we’re only a phone call away if you have any questions while you’re in Canada.
