The great salmon run sees a variety of bears feasting

Pristine and sparsely populated, with vibrant cities, diverse cultures and landscapes of staggering beauty, Canada is an outstanding travel destination. A seemingly boundless realm of snowcapped peaks and imposing glaciers, unspoilt forests, labyrinthine coastlines and isolated islands, this is truly nature’s playground. Carved through this epic wilderness are some of the world’s most diverse and nutrient rich waterways, drawing nature lovers to experience the magic of the Canadian landscape for themselves.

In British Columbia, uncover the wildlife-rich Great Bear Rainforest, home to the magnificent Kermode, black, and brown bears. Here, the annual salmon run fuels a thriving ecosystem. Cruise or kayak through the hauntingly beautiful waters of Desolation Sound, where sightings of marine birds, sea lions, and whales are common, or journey to the mist-shrouded Haida Gwaii, where the heritage of First Nations people echoes across millennia.

In Nunavet, travel high into the Canadian Arctic on an epic adventure through the fabled Northwest Passage. Visit Baffin Island and its remote Inuit communities and search for the elusive Polar Bear, Narwhol and Beluga Whale

There’s so much on offer here that the hardest part will be deciding on an itinerary.

Please visit https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html for a full list of nationalities who require an eTA and for a list of nationalities who require a visa. This is also where you can apply for an eTA. Applying for an eTA is inexpensive and is a simple online process that takes just a few minutes. You will need your passport, a credit card, and an email address. An eTA is electronically linked to a traveller’s passport and is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new eTA.

We strongly recommend that all clients take out travel insurance at the time of booking to cover against sickness, accident, loss of baggage, unexpected alterations to travel arrangements and travel disruption, emergency evacuation, cancellations, etc. Insurance information is enclosed with your pre-departure information.

We suggest that you consult your doctor, local government inoculation centre or a travel medical specialist in order to get the most current advice regarding vaccination requirements.

Money and valuables should always be stored safely when travelling. Keep your passport with you at all times and do not leave it in your main luggage. It is recommended that you keep a photocopy of your passport separately. You will need it to change money and check into hotels. Where safety deposit boxes are available, we recommend that you use them. Keep jewellery and valuables to a minimum.
